Chapter XXIV. The Seven Mountains and the Tree of Life
1.[And from thence I went to another place of the earth], and he showed me a mountain range of fire which burnt [day and night].
2.And I went beyond it and saw seven magnificent mountains all differing each from the other, and the stones (thereof) were magnificent and beautiful, magnificent as a whole, of glorious appearance and fair exterior: [three towards] the east, [one] founded on the other, and three towards the south, one upon the other, and deep rough ravines, no one of which joined with any other.
3.And the seventh mountain was in the midst of these, and it excelled them in height, resembling the seat of a throne: and fragrant trees encircled the throne.
4.And amongst them was a tree such as I had never yet smelt, neither was any amongst them nor were others like it: it had a fragrance beyond all fragrance, and its leaves and blooms and wood wither not for ever: and its fruit [is beautiful, and its fruit] resembles the dates of a palm.
5.Then I said: ‘[How] beautiful is this tree, and fragrant, and its leaves are fair, and its blooms [very] delightful in appearance.’
6.Then answered Michael, one of the holy [and honoured] angels who was with me, and was their leader.
Asked of Guide
Why are the seven mountains arranged with a higher seventh and a throne-like center?
Enoch describes a landscape where six mountains form pairs while the seventh stands central and highest, “resembling the seat of a throne.” That arrangement emphasizes a sacred spatial order: the central, elevated peak marks an axis of authority and presence, encircled by fragrant trees that signal holiness and perpetual life.
Michael appears to guide Enoch’s vision toward that focal peak, as if to show where heavenly governance or divine glory resides. This mirrors other visionary maps like Ezekiel’s chariot, which also uses elevated, central imagery to locate God’s dwelling and the nexus of revelation.
