1 And he said to me: 'Enoch, why do you ask me about the fragrance of the tree, and why do you wish to learn the truth?' 2 Then I answered him saying: 'I want to know about everything, but especially about this tree.' 3 And he answered saying: 'This high mountain which you have seen, whose summit is like the throne of God, is His throne, where the Holy Great One, the Lord of Glory, the Eternal King, will sit when He comes down to visit the earth with goodness. 4 And as for this fragrant tree, no mortal is allowed to touch it until the great judgment, when He will take vengeance on all and bring everything to its consummation forever. It will then be given to the righteous and holy.⁠a 5 Its fruit will be food for the elect: it will be transplanted to the holy place, to the temple of the Lord, the Eternal King. 6 Then they will rejoice with joy and be glad, and they will enter the holy place; its fragrance will be in their bones, and they will live a long life on earth, such as your ancestors lived: and in their days, no sorrow or plague or torment or calamity will touch them.' 7 Then I blessed the God of Glory, the Eternal King, who has prepared such things for the righteous, and has created them and promised to give them to them.
