1 Book of Enoch 77

1 And the first **quarter** is called the east, because it is the first: and the second, the south, because the Most High **will descend** there, yea, there in quite a special sense will He who is blessed for ever **descend**.

2 And the west **quarter** is named the diminished, because there all the luminaries of the heaven wane and go down.

3 And the fourth **quarter**, named the north, is divided into three parts: the first of them is for the dwelling of men: and the second contains seas of water, and the abysses and forests and rivers, and darkness and clouds; and the third part contains the garden of righteousness. p. 104

4 I saw seven high mountains, higher than all the mountains which are on the earth: and thence comes forth hoar-frost, and days, seasons, and years pass away.

5 I saw seven rivers on the earth larger than all the rivers: one of them coming from the west pours its waters into the Great Sea.

6 And these two come from the north to the sea and pour their waters into the Erythraean Sea in the east.

7 And the remaining four come forth on the side of the north to their own sea, γ€ˆtwo of them〉 to the Erythraean Sea, and two into the Great Sea and discharge themselves there [and some say: into the desert].

8 Seven great islands I saw in the sea and in the mainland: two in the mainland and five in the Great Sea. Next: Chapter LXXVIII
