The Three Books of Enoch and the Book of Giantstranslated by Robert H. Charles
The Book of Enoch and the Book of Giants are antediluvian (pre-flood) Hebrew religious texts that date back as far as 300 BC. These books expand on the narrative of the early Hebrew Bible as detailed in Genesis, and explore aspects of Judaeo-Christian creation stories that are often alluded to in the Bible including the origins of Nephilim, demons, and the fall from Grace of certain angels. Though the Book of Enoch is only considered to be a canonical text in a small number of Jewish and Christian sects today, it was considered as scripture by early Christians and should be thought of today as an important historical text that adds depth and context to the scriptures that are contained in the Hebrew Bible.
