Extra-canonical text — not LDS scripture and not in the KJV Apocrypha. Provided as scholarly reference for parallel literature of the Second Temple period and the early Christian era. Read with discernment; the Apostle Jude quotes 1 Enoch and Paul knew this material, but inclusion here is for study, not doctrine.
1And thence I went towards the east, into the midst of the mountain range of the desert, and
2I saw a wilderness and it was solitary, full of trees and plants. And water gushed forth from
3above. Rushing like a copious watercourse [which flowed] towards the north-west it caused clouds and dew to ascend on every side.
Public-domain text (R.H. Charles 1913 and equivalents). These works are not canonical, but several were widely read in antiquity and one (1 Enoch) is quoted by name in Jude 1:14–15. Useful for understanding the doctrinal landscape from which the apostles and earliest saints taught.
