Domka, Natalia2024-11-152024-11-152019The Biblical Annals, 2019, T. 9, nr 2, s. 285-313.2083-22222451-2168https://theo-logos.pl/handle/123456789/23666The article analyzes the structure of 1 En. 9:1-3 and its function within the larger structure of the myth of the fallen Watchers (1 En. 6–11). The short text introduces the four angels on the scene, their perception of the miserable state of humanity, and the reception of human complaint directed to God. The positive presentation of the four angels can be contrasted by the negative presentation of the fallen Watchers in 1 En. 6:2-3.7-8. On the other hand, 1 En. 9:1-3 is related to 1 En. 10:1-16 where the same four angels receive from God the divine commissioning. Since it introduces the decisive turn in the myth narrative thread, 1 En. 9:1-3 divides the myth into two parts, which implies the symmetric disposition of the myth.plCC-BY - Uznanie autorstwa1 En 91 En 6-111 EnochBook of the WatchersMyth of the fallen angelsliterary structure of 1 En 6-11BibleOld Testamentbiblical studiesexegesisbiblical exegesisBook of Henochapocryphaapocalyptic literatureOld Testament apocryphaliterary structure of the Myth of the fallen angelsangelsfallen angels1Hen 91Hen 6-111 HenochKsięga CzuwającychMit o upadłych aniołachstruktura 1Hen 6-11BibliaPismo ŚwięteStary Testamentbiblistykaegzegezaegzegeza biblijnaKsięga Henochaapokryfliteratura apokaliptycznaapokryfy Starego Testamentustruktura literacka Mitu o upadłych aniołachaniołyupadłe aniołyArticle
