The Book of Enoch 40

¹🔗nd these are the four angels of the Lord of Spirits and the four voices I heard in those days.

²🔗 And after that I saw thousands of thousands and ten thousand times ten thousand, I saw a multitude beyond number and reckoning, who stood before the Lord of Spirits.

³🔗 And on the four sides of the Lord of Spirits I saw four presences, different from those that sleep not, and I learnt their names: for the angel who went with me made known to me their names, and showed me all the hidden things.

⁴🔗 And I heard the voices of those four presences as they uttered praises before the Lord of glory.

⁵🔗 The first voice blesses the Lord of Spirits for ever and ever.

⁶🔗 And the second voice I heard blessing the Elect One and the elect ones who hang upon the Lord of Spirits.

⁷🔗 And the third voice I heard =pray and intercede= for those who dwell on the earth and supplicate in the name of the Lord of Spirits.

⁸🔗 And I heard the fourth voice fending off the Satans and forbidding them to come before the Lord of Spirits to accuse them who dwell on the earth.

⁹🔗 After that I asked the angel of peace who went with me, who showed me everything that is hidden: ‘Who are these four presences which I have seen and whose words I have heard and written down?’

¹⁰🔗 And he said to me: ‘This first is Michael, the merciful and long-suffering: and the second, who is set over all the diseases and all the wounds of the children of men, is Raphael: and the third, who is set over all the powers, is Gabriel: and the fourth, who is set over the repentance unto hope of those who inherit eternal life, is named Phanuel.’
