The Book of Enoch 7.1b · Drugs, spells and roots📜 Charles 1906, the printed page
What the angels gave the women in return.
· · ·
And they began to go in to them and mingled with them; and they taught them drugs and spells, and the cutting of roots, and plants they made known to them.
The plan of chapter 6 is carried out in one sentence. “Each chose one for himself”: lala rǝʾsu, literally “each for his own head”. Charles printed “these” in parentheses and the “and” before “took” in brackets, words some manuscripts have and others lack.
