Given by: Enoch, addressing his assembled family as his final testament begins. Given to: all the children of righteousness — his sons, and through them the righteous of every later generation.

Echoes the great 'Hear' of Israel's tradition — the Shema of Deuteronomy 6:4 and the wisdom teacher's 'Hear, my son' of Proverbs — where hearing meant not sound reaching the ear but truth received into obedient life.

And he spake unto all the children of righteousness and said: ‘Hear, ye sons of Enoch, all the words of your father, And hearken aright to the voice of my mouth; For I exhort you and say unto you, beloved:

Enoch calls his gathered children not merely to hear his words but to hearken aright — to receive all of them, attentively and correctly, as an exhortation spoken in love.
