“… The present paper limits its discussion to the heavenly counterpart traditions that are encountered in the books of Enoch. The patriarch’s travel to heaven and his progression through the chambers of the celestial sanctuary in 1 Enoch 14:9–18 ends with the vision of a high throne. In the course of this encounter, Enoch becomes a heavenly counterpart of the high priest as the earthly sacerdotal servant associated with the activities in these chambers, when the priest once a year on Yom Kippur was allowed to enter the divine Presence. The seer appears to be simultaneously in both realms: dreaming in his sleep on earth and at the same time installed as the sacerdotal servant in the heavenly temple. Martha Himmelfarb stresses the topographical aspects of Enoch’s progression account in which “the ascent shows him passing through the outer court of the temple and the sanctuary to the door of the Holy of Holies, where God addresses him with his own mouth.” Comparably, the “son of Oannes” also locates in the inner cella of Marduk. …”
