2 Enoch 38

Pseudepigrapha — not canonical

W.R. Morfill, translated from the Slavonic, 1896 (Oxford); short-recension chapter division. These texts are not endorsed in any LDS canon — see framing.

1And the Lord said to those men who first led me up: Let Enoch go down on to earth with you, and await him till the determined day.

2And they placed me by night on my bed.

3And Mathusal (Methuselah) expecting my coming, keeping watch by day and by night at my bed, was filled with awe when he heard my coming, and I told him, Let all my household come together, that I tell them everything.

Public-domain text. Pseudepigrapha are extra-canonical witnesses to the Second Temple and early Christian worlds; read with discernment. The Apocrypha endorsement in D&C 91 does not extend to these texts.
