The '''''Book of Enoch''''' (also '''1 Enoch'''; Hebrew: סֵפֶר חֲנוֹךְ, ''Sēfer Ḥănōḵ'') is an ancient Hebrew apocalyptic religious text, ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah. Enoch contains unique material on the origins of [[demon]]s and Nephilim, telling why some [[angel]]s fell from heaven, an explanation of why the Genesis flood was morally necessary, and prophetic exposition of the thousand-year reign of the Messiah. | The '''''Book of Enoch''''' (also '''1 Enoch'''; Hebrew: סֵפֶר חֲנוֹךְ, ''Sēfer Ḥănōḵ'') is an ancient Hebrew apocalyptic religious text, ascribed by tradition to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah.

Three books are traditionally attributed to Enoch, including the distinct works 2 Enoch and 3 Enoch, although none of the three books are considered canonical scripture by the majority of [[Judaism|Jewish]] or [[Christianity|Christian]] bodies. | Three books are traditionally attributed to Enoch, including the distinct works 2 Enoch and 3 Enoch, although none of the three books are considered canonical scripture by the majority of [[Judaism|Jewish]] or [[Christianity|Christian]] bodies. | ||
