Main article: Reception of the Book of Enoch in premodernity Judaism īased on the number of copies found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, the Book of Enoch was widely read during the Second Temple period. Other Jewish and Christian groups generally regard it as non-canonical or non-inspired, but may accept it as having some historical or theological interest. It is part of the biblical canon used by the Ethiopian Jewish community Beta Israel, as well as the Christian Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. Today, The Book of Enoch only survives in its entirety in Ge'ez (Ethiopic) translation. Several copies of the earlier sections of 1 Enoch were preserved among the Dead Sea Scrolls. A short section of 1 Enoch (1:9) is cited in the New Testament Epistle of Jude, Jude 1:14–15, and is attributed there to "Enoch the Seventh from Adam" (1 Enoch 60:8), although this section of 1 Enoch is a midrash on Deuteronomy 33:2. Authors of the New Testament were also familiar with some content of the story. This book was also quoted by some 1st and 2nd century authors as in the Testaments of the Twelve Patriarchs. Various Aramaic fragments found in the Dead Sea Scrolls, as well as Koine Greek and Latin fragments, are proof that the Book of Enoch was known by Jews and early Near Eastern Christians. : 6 No Hebrew version is known to have survived. Modern scholars believe that Enoch was originally written in either Aramaic or Hebrew, the languages first used for Jewish texts Ephraim Isaac suggests that the Book of Enoch, like the Book of Daniel, was composed partially in Aramaic and partially in Hebrew. The older sections of 1 Enoch (mainly in the Book of the Watchers) of the text are estimated to date from about 300–200 BCE, and the latest part (Book of Parables) is probably to 100 BCE. None of the three books are considered to be canonical scripture by the majority of Jewish or Christian church bodies. Three books are traditionally attributed to Enoch, including the distinct works 2 Enoch and 3 Enoch. The Book of Enoch contains unique material on the origins of demons and Nephilim, why some angels fell from heaven, an explanation of why the Genesis flood was morally necessary, and a prophetic exposition of the thousand-year reign of the Messiah.
