The Latter-day Saint story of Enoch has been called the “most remarkable religious document published in the nineteenth century.” There are a variety of different explanations for how such a novel, expansive, and coherent work purporting to be a true account of ancient historical figures could have been produced by a relatively unschooled translator in such a short amount of time. In the present study, our primary interest is in comparing Moses 6–7 with the Book of Giants, an ancient source unknown in 1830, in support of arguments that the Prophet translated through a process that was dependent on divine revelation.
