The Book of Enoch 76
The Twelve Winds and their Portals.
1nd after these the north winds: from the seventh portal in the east come dew and rain, locusts and desolation.
2 And from the middle portal come in a direct direction health and rain and dew and prosperity; and through the third portal in the west come cloud and hoar-frost, and snow and rain, and dew and locusts.
3 And after these are the west winds: through the first portal adjoining the north come forth dew and hoar-frost, and cold and snow and frost.
4 And from the middle portal come forth dew and rain, and prosperity and blessing; and through the last portal which adjoins the south come forth drought and desolation, and burning and destruction.
5 And the twelve portals of the four quarters of the heaven are therewith completed, and all their laws and all their plagues and all their benefactions have I shown to thee, my son Methuselah.
6 And the first wind from those portals, called the east wind, comes forth through the first portal which is in the east, inclining towards the south: from it come forth desolation, drought, heat, and destruction.
7 And through the second portal in the middle comes what is fitting, and from it there come rain and fruitfulness and prosperity and dew; and through the third portal which lies toward the north come cold and drought.
8 And after these come forth the south winds through three portals: through the first portal of them inclining to the east comes forth a hot wind.
9 And through the middle portal next to it there come forth fragrant smells, and dew and rain, and prosperity and health.
10 And through the third portal lying to the west come forth dew and rain, locusts and desolation.
