- Transcription
I said to the archangel Michael: O Lord, who is this honorable old man, who has this book in his hand, comes near the Judge, and recites the bad deeds of this soul?" He said: "It is Enoch. When God saw that he was a trustworthy man, he gave him the task to write down all the good and bad deeds that a man's soul would commit."
- BHR Staff Commentary
In the note for “this honorable old man,” we read that
The Ethiopic adds wārēzā, "young man," after 'aragāwi, "old man." (Ibid., 179 n. 50)
