The Lantern

II Enoch45

2-enoch

Whoever hastens to make offerings before the Lord’s face, the Lord for his part will hasten that offering by granting of his work.

But whoever increases his lamp before the Lord’s face and make not true judgment, the Lord will (not) increase his treasure in the realm of the highest.

When the Lord demands bread, or candles, or (the )flesh (of beasts), or any other sacrifice, then that is nothing; but God demands pure hearts, and with all that (only) tests the heart of man.
