1 Enoch naturally divides into five sections: The Book of Watchers (1-36), The Book of Parables (37-71), The Astronomical Book (72-82), the Book of Dream Visions (83-90), and the Letter of Enoch (90-108). Even within these sections, however, there are breaks and subject changes. So let’s do a fairly detailed summary and interpretation of the book.
Chapters 1-11The Book of Enoch uses the brief verse in Genesis 6:1-5 about the sons of God and the daughters of men intermingling as an allegory for its current situation—presented, anachronistically, by the Old Testament character Enoch. Enoch refers to the sons of men in Genesis 6 as angels, whom he often calls “Watchers,” because they have the task of watching over God’s work. When one understands the struggle of 1 Enoch’s day, one can easily figure out that the “sons of God” represent God’s people, especially their priests, and the “daughters of men” are the pagan Greeks. This union creates bizarre giants, and it corrupts humanity in many ways: astrology, technology, immodesty, pagan worship, sexual immorality, non-kosher foods, etc. God will punish both the Watchers and their offspring, suggesting that there will be wars among them—possibly a reference to the Maccabean wars that left vast destruction in Judea.
