Thank you so much for your interest and for your encouragement!

Truly, I believe you can rely on the King James version. I doubt there were many such substitutions. Moreover, these days it is convenient to use a parallel Bible and research the actual language on the internet to settle any differences to one's own satisfaction!

There are copies of Enoch online, but I much prefer the printed versions in the Old Testament Pseudepigrapha by Charlesworth - because it contains a lot commentary on the translation, history, etc.

..Old Testament Pseudepigrapha by Charlesworth..

I suppose that first I must look up 'pigrapha', lol, and then I'm off to read Jude. Will follow all referenced made here to Bible verse as all of this is new (and very exciting) to me.

Will follow your link to 1 Enoch online first, but may decide to follow your lead and purchase the book by Charlesworth...where would you suggest I get this? Thanks.

Will look forward to watching the astronomy/Enoch development as it happens here and am still mistified by the ' the Elect One'.

Thanks Alamo-girl, this lurking FReeper is going to enjoy this adventure.

Interesting point of view. My preferences run to the other pole: I prefer to read from a text that is devoid of (potentially erroneous) comments that often distract, and devalue a reading session.
