In line with the common scholarly opinion, 1 En. 14:8–25 has so far been interpreted in the sense of a bipartite or even tripartite temple which resembles the earthly temple in Jerusalem not only in structure but also in appearance. In contrast, this paper claims that this passage of the Book of the Watchers provides atwofold vision of two different temples, namely the inferior earthly temple and the ideal heavenly sanctuary. In this way, it articulates one of the most radical temple critiques of ancient Judaism. This interpretation is based on acareful textual analysis and a meticulous discussion of the individual elements of, in particular, the first house, taking into account other ancient Jewish sources such as Ezekiel, Haggai and the Animal Apocalypse which partially have been ignored so far but provide a helpful and illuminating background for the interpretation of Enoch’s Heavenly Vision.enCC-BY - Uznanie autorstwa1 Enoch 14Book of the Watchersheavenly sanctuaryheavenly templetemple critiqueapocalyptic literatureapocryphal literatureapocryphaOld Testament apocryphabiblical studiesEnochEnoch’s visionsexegesisbiblical exegesisEnoch’s heavenly visionsKsięga Henochasanktuarium niebiańskieświątynia niebiańskakrytyka świątyniliteratura apokaliptycznaliteratura apokryficznaapokryfapokryfy Starego TestamentubiblistykaHenochwizje Henochaegzegezaegzegeza biblijnaniebiańskie wizje HenochaArticle
