The Book of Enoch or 1 Enoch[1] is an apocryphal book attributed to Enoch, the great-grandfather of Noah, dated to Maccabean times (ca. 160s BC). It is generally considered pseudepigraphal by most Christians but, it is accepted by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church as inspired Scripture and is part of their official canon.[2] Fragments of this book were also found among the Dead Sea Scrolls.
