Enoch "walked with God; then he was no more for God took him." The Book of Enoch is a pseudoepigraphal work (a work that claims to be by a biblical character). The original Aramaic version was lost until the Dead Sea fragments were discovered. The Book of Enoch was not included in either the Hebrew or most Christian biblical canons, but could have been considered a sacred text by the sectarians.
Its oldest portion is the "Apocalypse of Weeks," written shortly before the Maccabean uprising of 167 BC against the Seleucids. This is a compilation of several separate works, most of which are apocalyptic. The Ethiopic Book of Enoch is called a "pseudepigraphical work," meaning one that is not included in any canon of scripture, outside of even the Apocrypha.
The only complete extant version is an Ethiopic translation of a previous Greek translation made in Palestine from the original Hebrew
