The Enochic Theophany in the Book of the Watchers 1:1-9 is a dynamic text that grew and evolved as it was translated into, and transmitted in, new and changing socio-linguistic and socio-religious contexts. This dissertation traces and examines how the Enochic theophany continued to grow and evolve in Aramaic, Greek, Ethiopic and Latin versions, and focuses on the hermeneutical and text-critical implications of these features of textual growth. Rather than dismissing these shifts and developments in the text as ‘corruptive’ or ‘degenerative’ features in the history and life of the Enochic theophany, the methodology employed in this project envisages them as vital and generative features that reveal how the text was read, interpreted, and re-signified as it was translated and transmitted. This study does not attempt to recover an irretrievable ‘original Aramaic’ text, or to restore the hypothetical margins of the Aramaic fragments using the later versions as a guide, but instead traces the vitality and dynamism of the Enochic theophany as a participant in an ongoing and shifting theophanic and Enochic-Noahic discourse that was not static or unilinear. Therefore, the focus will be less on what the text was, but rather on what the text came to be.
