[¶0] 1 Methosalem having answered his father Enoch said’; ‘If it is good in thine eyes, my father, let me put food before thy face and then, having blessed our houses and thy sons, and all thy family ?, let thy people be glorified by thee; and then afterwards thou wilt depart, as God hath said

[¶1] 3. Enoch answered his son Methosalem and said: ‘Hear my child, since God has anointed me with the oil of his glory, there has been no food in me, and my soul remembers nothing of earthly pleasure nor do I desire anything earthly. Enoch orders his Son Methosalem to call all his Brothers.
