The Book of Enoch · 30 of 109

Chapter XXX

1.And beyond these, I went afar to the east, and I saw another place, a valley (full) of water.

2.And [therein there was] a tree, the colour (?) of fragrant trees such as the mastic.

3.And on the sides of those valleys I saw fragrant cinnamon. And beyond these I proceeded to the east.

Asked of Guide

Why does Enoch keep travelling east and what does he find there?

Enoch travels east and finds a watery valley with a notable fragrant tree and cinnamon on the slopes; he reports the scene simply as “a valley (full) of water” and “a tree, the colour (?) of fragrant trees such as the mastic.” The eastward movement frames discovery: each step reveals specific natural wonders rather than doctrine or visions of angels in this chapter.

This description echoes other ancient travel-visions that catalog sacred flora, like parts of Genesis where special trees mark a place, and it reads like an itinerary of holy geography. The focus on scent and specific plants suggests symbolic value tied to purity, blessing, or divine provision rather than literal botany.
