Yes it does validate the belief in detail of the bibles flat earth belief.

It cover many details on the cosmos of those ancint peoples which is similar to the egyptian and sumerian cosmos.

It covers the details that the bible does not cover,it covers the commandments of the luminaries and that the sun,moon rises by the power of a chariot.

The bible is a flat earth book.MYTH.

Read it yourself and it will open your eyes and you will understand.

The Book of Enoch is not part of the Bible.

What is your point exactly?

yes, the earth was flat. the world was the holy land and outside the holy land was neither the earth or the world. this world probably had a radius of ten miles. hebron, egypt, and tyre were within this world. there was a Hebron, Egypt, and Tyre outside this world. it is called doubling of names.

Actually, some Christians do consider the Book Of Enoch to be part of the Bible.

It is in the canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church.

IIRC, Enoch is credited with being a "true prophet" by Jude, whose own book IS in the Bible.

This makes me wonder: why was Enoch dropped from the Bible?

...Because its flat-Earth references were too specific and too embarrassing?

The book of jasher is also not part of the bible either but there are two verses that refer to it.

Joshua 10:13 - And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves upon their enemies. Is not this written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day.

2 Samuel 1:18 - (Also he bade them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)

Yes the book of enoch is part of the bible because it details about the flat earth from the bible.

Maybe,but it would depend on when it was dropped.

Anyone know when it was dropped or not included?

Could you list the references? Here's a reference for a spherical earth from Ecclesiastes 1: 1 - 18:
6) Blowing toward the south, Then turning toward the north, The wind continues swirling along; And on its circular courses the wind returns. (Does this mean around Antarctica, up to the Polar Ice Cap, then back to Palestine?)

Also, the references to "4 corners" are actually translated "4 quadrants". This led Columbus (a Christian) to conclude that the earth was in fact, a sphere. You can find translations of his journal in the Harvard Library - Archives & Manuscript Repositories.

That's compatible with a circular course on a flat disk too.

...Do you want flat-Earth references from Enoch, or from the now-canonical books of the Bible?

I don't think so. Isaiah 11:12 uses the word KNPWT, plural of KNP = "wing" (the extremities of birds). This word is used elsewhere where "border" or "edge" would be expected, eg Num 15:38, which talks about fringes on borders (KNPWT) of garments, or 1 Sam 15:27 which refers to the hem (KNP) of a robe, or Isa 24:16, which talks of the end (KNP) of the earth.

I'd say the best translation is "the four edges of the earth".
