And I saw another thing regarding lightening: how some stars arise and become lightening and cannot dwell with the rest

I'm uncertain about whether this refers to supernovae or meteorites. The 'lightning' would suggest the latter; supernovae become bright instantaneously, all right, but they take a while to fade.

Thank you for your post!

You raise an interesting point!

IMHO, if Enoch had seen a supernova from his heavenly travels, as testified in the manuscript, then he would describe it the way he did - the star explodes into light and cannot gather itself back into being the star.

OTOH, if it were a fabrication then perhaps the author was describing a meteorite or "shooting star."

I'll now go research how (and when) the ancients attributed the phenomonen of meteorites, particularly in Babylonia and in Greece.
