Daily Zohar # 5256 – Beresheet – Adam’s book of generations
Daily Zohar 5256
Hebrew translation:
474. וְכֵן שָׁנִינוּ, סֵפֶר הָיָה לוֹ לַחֲנוֹךְ, וְזֶה סֵפֶר מִמָּקוֹם שֶׁל סֵפֶר שֶׁל תּוֹלְדוֹת אָדָם הָיָה, וְזֶהוּ סוֹד הַחָכְמָה, שֶׁהֲרֵי מֵהָאָרֶץ נִטַּל. זֶהוּ שֶׁכָּתוּב וְאֵינֶנּוּ כִּי לָקַח אֹתוֹ אֱלֹהִים. וְהוּא הַנַּעַר, שֶׁכָּתוּב (משלי כב) חֲנֹךְ לַנַּעַר עַל פִּי דַרְכּוֹ.

Zohar Beresheet
Continued from previous DZ
#473
When Adam left the Garden of Eden, he was still holding that book. And when he went outside, the book flew away from him. He prayed and wept before his Master, and He returned the book to him as at first, so that the wisdom would not be forgotten from the children of man, and they would occupy themselves to know their Master.
Notes:
When Adam left the Garden of Eden, the book of upper wisdom flew from him. After he prayed and wept, it was returned so that human beings would not lose the wisdom through which they know their Master.
#474
So we have learned: Enoch had a book. And this book was from the place of the book of the generations of Adam. And this book is the secret of wisdom. For he was taken from the earth and made an angel in heaven, and this is what it says, “וְאֵינֶנּוּ כִּי לָקַח אֹתוֹ אֱלֹהִים” “and he was not, for God took him” (Genesis 5:24). And he is the Youth (נער), that is, he is called Youth in every place, as it is written, “חֲנֹךְ לַנַּעַר” “Train the youth…” (Proverbs 22:6). This shows that Enoch is the Youth, and this is because he was made a Youth who serves the Shechinah.
Notes:
Enoch received a book from the same source as Adam’s book of generations (סֵפֶר שֶׁל תּוֹלְדוֹת אָדָם). He was taken from the earth and became the angelic Youth who serves the Shechinah.
