The aim of this paper is to present an interpretation of the Book of the Watchers from the first Book of Enoch. I will use the methods of Lacanian psychoanalytical structuralism supplemented by structural anthropology. I will try to prove an inner logic of the myth and will therefore analyse the narrative techniques which aim to express the central theme - the function of God's Order. The identification of structures and narrative techniques make it possible to explain the relation between the myth's main motives: 1. the violation of the Law of God, 2. the Law of God itself 3. and the apocalypse. Their interconnection lies in the specific structuration of the subject, Enoch the scribe.
