And the first was Michael, who is strong in the faith of the Lord.
And the second was Raphael, who is over the spirits of men.
And the third was Gabriel, who is over the garden of Eden.
And the fourth was Uriel, who is over the world of the luminaries and the torments of the spirits.
And they said unto me: 'Enoch, behold, we are the servants of the Holy One, and we do His will in all things.'
'The time of the judgment has come, and all things shall be revealed.'
'Come with us, and we will show thee the mysteries of the righteous, and the mysteries of the wicked.'
And they took me up, and carried me into the heavens, and showed me all the secrets of the earth and the underworld.
And I saw the place of judgment, where the righteous are separated from the wicked, and where all shall stand before the throne of God.
