1 Enoch 34:1-3

Enoch journeys to earth's ends, observing diverse beasts and birds, then witnesses celestial gates where stars emerge. The angel Uriel reveals to Enoc...

1And from there I went to the ends of the earth, and I saw there great beasts, each different from the other, and birds likewise differing in form and beauty and voice, each different from the other.

2And to the east of these beasts I saw the ends of the earth upon which the heaven rests, and the gates of heaven opened.

3And I saw how the stars of heaven go forth, and I counted the gates out of which they proceed, and I wrote down all their outlets—for each one individually, according to their number and their names, according to their conjunctions and their positions and their times and their months, as Uriel the holy angel who was with me showed me.
