Chapter 106: The Ascension of Enoch

And in those days, when the time came for Enoch to depart from the earth, the angels came down to take him.

'And Enoch was taken up into heaven, and he was not, for God took him, and he became as one of the angels.'

'And his name was changed to Metatron, the lesser God, and he was exalted above all the heavenly hosts.'

'And he became the prince of the divine servants, and he stood before the throne of the Holy One continually.'

And the righteous mourned the departure of Enoch, but they were comforted by the knowledge that he had been exalted to the heavens.
