The Book of the Secrets of Enoch 25
Adoil came down very great and was beheld with a belly of great light in the lowest parts.
1 commanded in the very lowest (parts), that visible (physical) things should come down from invisible (spiritual), and Adoil came down very great, and I beheld him, and lo! He had a belly of great light.
2 And I said to him: Become undone, Adoil, and let the visible (physical) (come) out of you.
3 And he came undone, and a great light came out. And I (was) in the midst of the great light, and as there is born light from light, there came forth a great age, and showed all creation, which I had thought to create.
4 And I saw that (it was) good.
5 And I placed for myself a throne, and took my seat on it, and said to the light: Go thence up higher and fix yourself high above the throne, and be A foundation to the highest things.
6 And above the light there is nothing else, and then I bent up and looked up from my throne.
Did You Know?
Adoil came down very great and was beheld with a belly of great light in the lowest parts.
Adoil was commanded to become undone so that the visible physical things could come out of him.
As light is born from light, a great age came forth from the great light and showed all creation.
After seeing that it was good, a throne was placed and a seat was taken on it.
The light was ordered to fix itself high above the throne as a foundation to the highest things.

Commentary
In brief
The chapter recounts how the Creator commands visible things to emerge from the invisible, and Adoil descends with a belly of great light. Adoil comes undone and releases light from which a great age is born that reveals all planned creation; the Creator then sits on a throne and raises the light as foundation above it.
