Chapter 56
Methosalam asks of his father blessing, that he (sc. Methosalam) may make him (sc. Enoch) food to eat.
1METHOSALAM having answered his father Enoch, said: 'What is agreeable to thy eyes, father, that I may make before thy face, that thou mayst bless our dwellings, and thy sons, and that thy people may be made glorious through thee, and then that thou mayst depart thus, as the Lord said?,
