In the Slavonic 2 Enoch, it is described how Enoch reaches the seventh heaven on his journey to heaven. Verses 20:3, 21:6 and 22:1 also mention the eighth, ninth and tenth heavens. However, these passages, which are not included in all manuscripts, are later interpolations influenced by Jewish mysticism (Böttrich 1996: p. 885, 889). Embedded in the story of Enoch’s journey to heaven, his return and his admonitions to his sons, as well as the establishment of the priesthood by Methuselah, Nir and Melchizedek, the Slavic Book of Enoch deals with the topics of cosmology, wisdom, ethics and cult. Although not identical to the Ethiopian Book of Enoch, the Slavic Book of Enoch presupposes the Enoch traditions contained therein and even reveals a direct dependence in several places. Nevertheless, the Slavic Book of Enoch is an independent work that can be assigned to Hellenistic Judaism in the diaspora and in which an attempt to mediate Jewish belief with the ideas of a religiously diverse environment can be seen. While the majority of the book was written before the destruction of the temple, later interpolations can also be identified, such as Jewish-mystical, early Christian and Byzantine-chronographic ones. Various indications suggest that the Slavic Book of Enoch was originally written in Greek. In this case, however, the problem of Jewish-mystical interpolations, which also found their way into the Christian processing and transmission of the book, remains unsolved. The book is now only available in Old Church Slavonic. It was translated from Greek into Old Church Slavonic around the 10th/11th century and included in anthologies that combined lives, prayers, quotations from the fathers, homilies, etc., thus providing favorable conditions for the transmission of various apocrypha.
