looking for a text in those extra books of OT

[Daniel_Marsh]

The other day, I read a rehash of the creation account in those “extra books of the OT”, now I can’t find the passage. Does anyone know where it is? and what it is?

thanks
Daniel

Hello DM hope you are well- not sure if you are talking about the book of Adam & Eve from the Nag Hammdi or not? (The Apocalypse of Adam)

Hope the leg has healed - Are you still in country?

Thank You, good read but it is not the text I am looking for. The one I am looking for paralells the days of creation in Genesis.

Concerning my knee surgery, I am doing fair. heavy meds.

I feel loopy.

Could you be referring to the Book of Enoch? Here is chapter 69:

16 And these are the secrets of this oath . . .
And they are strong through his oath:
And the heaven was suspended before the world was created,
And for ever.

17 And through it the earth was founded upon the water,
And from the secret recesses of the mountains come beautiful waters,
From the creation of the world and unto eternity.

18 And through that oath the sea was created,
And as its foundation He set for it the sand against the time of (its) anger,
And it dare not pass beyond it from the creation of the world unto eternity.

19 And through that oath are the depths made fast,
And abide and stir not from their place from eternity to eternity.

20 And through that oath the sun and moon complete their course,
And deviate not from their ordinance from eternity to eternity.

21 And through that oath the stars complete their course,
And He calls them by their names,
And they answer Him from eternity to eternity.

22 [And in like manner the spirits of the water, and of the winds, and of all zephyrs, and (their) paths 23 from all the quarters of the winds. And there are preserved the voices of the thunder and the light of the lightnings: and there are preserved the chambers of the hail and the chambers of the 24 hoarfrost, and the chambers of the mist, and the chambers of the rain and the dew. And all these believe and give thanks before the Lord of Spirits, and glorify (Him) with all their power, and their food is in every act of thanksgiving: they thank and glorify and extol the name of the Lord of Spirits for ever and ever.]

Enoch 69:16-24

Does that sound like what you are after ?
