AND Chanok lived sixty five years and he begat Methushelach; and Chanok walked with Elohiym after having begat Methushelach, and he served Yahuah, and despised the evil ways of men.
And the soul of Chanok was wrapped up in the instruction of Yahuah, in knowledge and in understanding; and he wisely retired from the sons of men, and secreted himself from them for many days.
And it was at the expiration of many years, while he was serving Yahuah, and praying before him in his house, that an angel of Yahuah called to him from Heaven, and he said, Here am I.
And he said, Rise, go forth from your house and from the place where you do hide yourself, and appear to the sons of men, in order that you may teach them the way in which they should go and the work which they must accomplish to enter in the ways of Elohiym.
And Chanok rose up according to the Word of Yahuah, and went forth from his house, from his place and from the chamber in which he was concealed; and he went to the sons of men and taught them the ways of Yahuah, and at that time assembled the sons of men and acquainted them with the instruction of Yahuah.
And he ordered it to be proclaimed in all places where the sons of men dwelt, saying, Where is the man who wishes to know the ways of Yahuah and good works? let him come to Chanok.
And all the sons of men then assembled to him, for all who desired this thing went to Chanok, and Chanok reigned over the sons of men according to the Word of Yahuah, and they came and bowed to him and they heard his word.
And the Ruach Elohiym was upon Chanok, and he taught all his men the wisdom of Elohiym and his ways, and the sons of men served Yahuah all the days of Chanok, and they came to hear his wisdom.
And all the kings of the sons of men, both first and last, together with their princes and judges, came to Chanok when they heard of his wisdom, and they bowed down to him, and they also required of Chanok to reign over them, to which he consented.
And they assembled in all, one hundred and thirty kings and princes, and they made Chanok king over them and they were all under his power and command.
And Chanok taught them wisdom, knowledge, and the ways of Yahuah; and he made peace amongst them, and peace was throughout the earth during the life of Chanok.
And Chanok reigned over the sons of men two hundred and forty three years, and he did justice and righteousness with all his people, and he led them in the ways of Yahuah.
And these are the generations of Chanok, Methushelach, Eliysha, and Eliymelek, three sons; and their sisters were Melcah and Nahmah, and Methushelach lived eighty seven years and he begat Lemek.
And it was in the fifty sixth year of the life of Lemek when A'dam died; nine hundred and thirty years old was he at his death, and his two sons, with Chanok and Methushelach his son, buried him with great pomp, as at the burial of kings, in the cave which Elohiym had told him.
And in that place all the sons of men made a great mourning and weeping on account of A'dam; it has therefore become a custom among the sons of men to this day.
And A'dam died because he ate of the tree of knowledge; he and his children after him, as Yahuah Elohiym had spoken.
And it was in the year of A'dam's death which was the two hundred and forty third year of the reign of Chanok, in that time Chanok resolved to separate himself from the sons of men and to secret himself as at first in order to serve Yahuah.
And Chanok did so, but did not entirely secret himself from them, but kept away from the sons of men three days and then went to them for one day.
And during the three days that he was in his chamber, he prayed to, and praised Yahuah Elohayu, and the day on which he went and appeared to his subjects he taught them the ways of Yahuah, and all they asked him about Yahuah he told them.
And he did in this manner for many years, and he afterward concealed himself for six days, and appeared to his people one day in seven; and after that once in a month, and then once in a year, until all the kings, princes and sons of men sought for him, and desired again to see the face of Chanok, and to hear his word; but they could not, as all the sons of men were greatly afraid of Chanok, and they feared to approach him on account of the Elohiym like awe that was seated upon his countenance; therefore no man could look at him, fearing he might be punished and die.
And all the kings and princes resolved to assemble the sons of men, and to come to Chanok, thinking that they might all speak to him at the time when he should come forth amongst them, and they did so.
And the day came when Chanok went forth and they all assembled and came to him, and Chanok spoke to them the words of Yahuah and he taught them wisdom and knowledge, and they bowed down before him and they said, May the king live! May the king live!
And in some time after, when the kings and princes and the sons of men were speaking to Chanok, and Chanok was teaching them the ways of Elohiym, behold an angel of Yahuah then called unto Chanok from heaven, and wished to bring him up to heaven to make him reign there over the sons of Elohiym, as he had reigned over the sons of men upon earth.
When at that time Chanok heard this he went and assembled all the inhabitants of the earth, and taught them wisdom and knowledge and gave them divine instructions, and he said to them, I have been required to ascend into heaven, I therefore do not know the day of my going.
And now therefore I will teach you wisdom and knowledge and will give you instruction before I leave you, how to act upon earth whereby you may live; and he did so.
And he taught them wisdom and knowledge, and gave them instruction, and he reproved them, and he placed before them commandments and judgments to do upon earth, and he made peace amongst them, and he taught them everlasting life, and dwelt with them some time teaching them all these things.
And at that time the sons of men were with Chanok, and Chanok was speaking to them, and they lifted up their eyes and the likeness of a great horse descended from heaven, and the horse paced in the air;
And they told Chanok what they had seen, and Chanok said to them, On my account does this horse descend upon earth; the time is come when I must go from you and I shall no more be seen by you.
And the horse descended at that time and stood before Chanok, and all the sons of men that were with Chanok saw him.
And Chanok then again ordered a voice to be proclaimed, saying, Where is the man who delights to know the ways of Yahuah Elohayu, let him come this day to Chanok before he is taken from us.
And all the sons of men assembled and came to Chanok that day; and all the kings of the earth with their princes and counselors remained with him that day; and Chanok then taught the sons of men wisdom and knowledge, and gave them divine instruction; and he bade them serve Yahuah and walk in his ways all the days of their lives, and he continued to make peace amongst them.
And it was after this that he rose up and rode upon the horse; and he went forth and all the sons of men went after him, about eight hundred thousand men; and they went with him one day's journey.
And the second day he said to them, Return home to your tents, why will you go? perhaps you may die; and some of them went from him, and those that remained went with him six day's journey; and Chanok said to them every day, Return to your tents, lest you may die; but they were not willing to return, and they went with him.
And on the sixth day some of the men remained and clung to him, and they said to him, We will go with you to the place where you go; as Yahuah lives, death only shall separate us.
And they urged so much to go with him, that he ceased speaking to them; and they went after him and would not return;
And when the kings returned they caused a census to be taken, in order to know the number of remaining men that went with Chanok; and it was upon the seventh day that Chanok ascended into heaven in a whirlwind, with horses and chariots of fire.
And on the eighth day all the kings that had been with Chanok sent to bring back the number of men that were with Chanok, in that place from which he ascended into heaven.
And all those kings went to the place and they found the earth there filled with snow, and upon the snow were large stones of snow, and one said to the other, Come, let us break through the snow and see, perhaps the men that remained with Chanok are dead, and are now under the stones of snow, and they searched but could not find him, for he had ascended into heaven.
