And I went beyond it and saw seven magnificent mountains all differing each from the other, and the stones (thereof) were magnificent and beautiful, magnificent as a whole, of glorious appearance and fair exterior: three towards the east, one founded on the other, and three towards the south, one upon the other, and deep rough ravines, no one of which joined with any other.

The Mountain Like a Throne
Enoch sees a burning mountain range, then seven glorious mountains arranged around a seventh, central peak shaped like a throne's seat, ringed by fragrant trees. Among those trees is one unlike any other, its fruit like the dates of a palm and its fragrance beyond every other fragrance.
