1 Enoch
Chapter 85
- 1 And after this I saw another dream, and I will show the whole dream to thee, my son.
- 2 And Enoch lifted up (his voice) and spake to his son Methuselah: ‘To thee, my son, will I speak: hear my words—incline thine ear to the dream-vision of thy father.
- 3 Before I took thy mother Edna, I saw in a vision on my bed, and behold a bull came forth from the earth, and that bull was white; and after it came forth a heifer, and along with this (latter) came forth two bulls, one of them black and the other red.
- 4 And that black bull gored the red one and pursued him over the earth, and thereupon I could no longer see that red bull.
- 5 But that black bull grew and that heifer went with him, and I saw that many oxen proceeded from him which resembled and followed him.’
- 6 And that cow, that first one, went from the presence of that first bull in order to seek that red one, but found him not, and lamented with a great lamentation over him and sought him.
- 7 And I looked till that first bull came to her and quieted her, and from that time onward she cried no more.
- 8 And after that she bore another white bull, and after him she bore many bulls and black cows.
- 9 And I saw in my sleep that white bull likewise grow and become a great white bull, and from him proceeded many white bulls, and they resembled him.
- 10 And they began to beget many white bulls, which resembled them, one following the other, (even) many.
