Enoch 33
1 And from thence I went to the ends of the earth and saw there great beasts, and each differed from the other; and I saw birds also differing in appearance and beauty and voice, the one differing from the other.
2 And to the east of those beasts I saw the ends of the earth whereon the heaven rests, and the portals of the heaven open.
3 And I saw how the stars of heaven come forth, and I counted the portals out of which they proceed, and wrote down all their outlets, of each individual star by itself, according to their number and their names, their courses and their positions, and their times and their months, as Uriel the holy angel who was with me showed me.
4 He showed all things to me and wrote them down for me: also their names he wrote for me, and their laws and their companies.

Questions to Think About
- Enoch takes the time to carefully record detailed knowledge Uriel reveals to him, rather than treating it casually. When God gives you insight or understanding, how diligent are you about recording it, remembering it, or passing it on to others?
- The dazzling variety of beasts and birds, each with its own beauty and voice, points to a Creator who delights in diversity. How does appreciating the sheer variety in creation shape the way you see the different people and personalities God has placed in your life?
