[DB 1.27.28] Vložíme-li nyní tedy ruce na Hanocha, pak si je tím všechny přímo na sebe poštveme; a kdyby Hanoch vstoupil do jejich středu a vysvětlil jim, že jsme mu svázali ruce, aby se nemohl brániti našemu týrání, kt er ého jsme se na něm dopustili, - kdyby toto se stalo, napadne nás lid a pod tíhou mas zahyneme.
[HG 1.27.28] "If we should lay hands on Enoch immediately, they would all fall upon us. And if then Enoch should join them and claim that our power had made it impossible for him to prevent our ill treatment of the people, they will fall upon us and we would perish under the weight of the masses. [HG 1.27.29] Therefore, if we want to carry out our plans, great craftiness and careful cunning are absolutely necessary.
