And he said to me: ‘Chanokh, why do you ask me regarding the fragrance of the tree, and why do you wish to learn the truth?’ 2. Then I answered him, [saying]: ‘I wish to know about everything, but especially about this tree.’ 3. And he answered, saying: ‘This high mountain [which you have seen], whose summit is like the throne of Elohim, is His throne, where the Great Set-Apart One, the Sovereign of Glory, the Eternal King will sit, when He shall come down to visit the earth with goodness. 4. And as for this fragrant tree no mortal is permitted to touch it till the great judgement, when He shall take vengeance on all and bring (everything) to its consummation for ever. It shall then be given to the righteous and set-apart. 5. Its fruit shall be for food to the elect: it shall be transplanted to the set-apart place, to the temple of the Sovereign, the Eternal King.

Then shall they rejoice with joy and be glad. And into the set-apart place shall they enter; And its fragrance shall be in their bones, And they shall live a long life on earth, Such as your fathers lived: And in their days shall no [sorrow or] plague Or torment or calamity touch them.’

Then blessed I the Elohim of Glory, the Eternal King, who has prepared such things for the righteous, and has created them and promised to give to them.
