[7] The Akhmin Greek omits the reference to the righteous in v. 7; its presence in the Ethiopic is probably due to dittography, the righteous being mentioned at the beginning of v. 8.
[8] An interpretation of this kind is advocated by Lods, A., Comptes rendus de l'Academie des Inscriptions et Belles Lettres (1943), pp. 434–53Google Scholar; cf. the discussion in Garnet, Paul, Salvation and Atonement in the Qumran Scrolls (Tübingen, 1977), pp. 74 f.Google Scholar, where En. 22. 13 is rendered: ‘…sinners, the punishment for whose transgression was complete’. Cf. also my Greek Influence in Jewish Eschatology, pp. 14–19.
[9] 90. 33 contains the only reference to a resurrection in the Dream Visions and even this verse could be otherwise interpreted.
[10] References to judgment in 98. 10; 99. 15; 100. 4 clearly apply to sinners. For a discussion of the eschatology of this section see Aalen, S., ‘St Luke's Gospel and the Last Chapters of 1 Enoch’ (NTS 13 (1966–1967), pp. 1–13).CrossRefGoogle Scholar

[12] Eusebius and others contend that the doctrine of judgment is found among the pagans; they refer to Greek witnesses but fail to note that these do not include any final assize. See e.g. Eusebius, Praeparatio Evangelica, XI, ch. 38.
[13] Cf. the prayer of Pascal: ‘O God, before whom I shall be obliged to give an exact account of my actions at the end of my life, and the end of the world…’
