Graphic Bible · Scene 5 of 11

Enoch recoils low on his mat, mouth parted and one empty hand raised.
Artwork is an interpretation. Scripture is quoted from the People’s Open Bible. Actor identities, apparent ages, costume, house, recording medium, represented counts, landscapes and celestial appearances are artistic choices, not historical, manuscript, archaeological or astronomical evidence. Dream imagery is not an actual disaster. Uncertain critical-edition readings remain disclosed in the POB notes.
