Secrets of Enoch: Chapter XXXV

God leaves one righteous man of Enoch’s tribe with his whole house, who did God’s pleasure according to his will.

1.BEHOLD from their seed shall arise another generation, much afterwards, but of them many will be very insatiate.

2.He who raises that generation, shall reveal to them the books of thy handwriting, of thy fathers, to them to whom he must point out the guardianship of the world, to the faithful men and workers of my pleasure, who do not acknowledge my name in vain.

3.And they shall tell another generation, and those others having read shall be glorified thereafter, more than the first.

Asked of Guide

Who is the “one righteous man” left from Enoch’s tribe?

The chapter says God preserves one righteous man from Enoch’s tribe who “did God’s pleasure according to his will,” implying a survivor whose household continues the line. This figure functions as the seed-bearer for a later generation that will receive the preserved books and guardianship.

That later raiser will “reveal to them the books of thy handwriting” and appoint faithful workers who “do not acknowledge my name in vain.” This passage echoes themes in 2 Enoch and later Jewish-Christian pseudepigrapha where a trusted remnant preserves secret teaching for a future, more glorified generation.
