Midrash sobre Génesis 5:25

And after many days and years while engaged in services and prayers to the Lord in his hidden ‎chamber, an angel of the Lord called upon him from heaven, and he said: Here am I.‎ And he said unto him: Arise and leave thy house and thy hiding place, and go among all men to ‎teach them the ways of the Lord, and the good deeds they have to practice in following the ‎ways of the Lord.‎ And Enoch arose and he left his house and hiding place wherein he was, according to the word ‎of the Lord, and he went out among the people, instructing them in the ways of the Lord.‎ And he gathered together all the people at that time, and made known unto them the ‎instruction of the Lord.‎ And he ordered men to go about and publish in a loud voice in all the dwelling places of the ‎sons of man, as follows: Who is the man that is desirous to understand the ways of the Lord ‎and the actions which are good and just? let him then come to Enoch! And all the people ‎willing to learn those things gathered around Enoch.‎ And Enoch ruled over all the sons of man according to the words of God, and they came and ‎bowed down before him to the ground, and all of them obeyed unanimously to his words.‎ And the spirit of God rested upon Enoch, and he taught all his men the wisdom of God and his ‎ways, and they served the Lord through all the days of Enoch, and the people always came to ‎hear his wisdom.‎ And the kings of all the sons of man served unto the Lord through all the days of Enoch, and ‎they also came to hear his wisdom. All the kings of the nations, the highest and the lowest, ‎their princes and judges, all came unto Enoch when they heard of his wisdom, and they bowed ‎down before him with their countenances to the ground, and they greatly begged of him to be ‎their ruler, until he consented.‎ And they gathered together, about one hundred and thirty kings and princes, and they made ‎Enoch their king and all were subject to his hands and to his words.‎ And Enoch taught them wisdom and knowledge and the ways of God, and he made peace ‎between all of them, so that peace reigned through the whole earth in the days of Enoch.‎ And Enoch ruled over the sons of man for two hundred and forty-three years, and he ‎dispensed law and justice to all his people, and he directed them in the ways of God.‎ And these are the generations of Enoch: Methuselah, Elisha and Abimelech, three sons, and ‎their sisters, Milcah and Naamah.‎ And Methuselah lived one hundred and eighty-seven years, and he begat Lamech.‎ And it was in the fifty-sixth year of Lamech’s life that Adam died, he was nine hundred and ‎thirty years old when he died, and his two sons, together with Enoch and Methuselah his son, ‎buried him with great honors according to the manner of the burial of kings, in a case, as the ‎Lord had spoken unto them.‎ And all the children of man held there a very great mourning and weeping over Adam, which ‎hath become a custom since then among the sons of man, even to this day.‎ And Adam died because he had eaten from the tree of knowledge; and like him so must die ‎also all his children, as the Lord hath proclaimed it.‎

And it was in the year of Adam’s death, which was the two hundred and forty-third year of ‎Enoch’s reign, that Enoch put it in his mind once more to withdraw from the sons of man, and ‎to separate himself from society into seclusion, as he did once before, in order to serve the ‎Lord. Yet he did not maintain his solitude all the time, but he would stay away for three days ‎and show himself to the people for one day.‎ And during the three days of his solitary confinement he would pray to the Lord and sing ‎praises unto him, and on the fourth day he would come forth to his subjects in order to teach ‎them the ways of God, and whatsoever they would inquire after he would explain unto them. ‎Thus he would do during many days and years, when he began to stay in solitude for six days ‎and come among the people on the seventh day; soon after, he would show himself only one ‎day in each month, and lastly only one day in each year.‎ And the kings, and the princes, and all the people gathered together with a great desire to see ‎Enoch’s face once more, and to listen unto his voice. But they could not do it, for all the sons of ‎man were greatly afraid of Enoch and they dared not to come near unto him, on account of ‎the divine dignity resting upon his countenance.‎ And all the kings and all the princes held counsel together, and concluded to assemble all the ‎sons of man, that they might come one and all to Enoch their king, and that all could speak ‎unto him on the day he was to show himself again.‎ And they did assemble accordingly.‎ And on the appointed day Enoch came forward and all the people were gathered together, ‎and they came all at once around him, and Enoch imparted them all the words of the Lord, and ‎he taught them much wisdom and knowledge, and he instructed them in the fear of the Lord.‎ And all the people were greatly astounded and they wondered at his wisdom, and bowing ‎down before him to the ground they shouted: May the king live, may the king live! And soon ‎after, while all the kings the princes and the people were talking unto Enoch and he instructed ‎them in the ways of the Lord, all at once an angel of the Lord called Enoch from the heaven to ‎come up, because it was resolved to make Enoch ruler over the sons of God in the heavens ‎even as he ruled over the sons of man on earth.‎ And when Enoch heard these words he called together all the sons of man, and he instructed ‎them in knowledge and wisdom and in the fear of God, and finally he spoke unto them, ‎saying: I have been summoned to ascend into the heavens, and I know not the day that I have ‎to go and leave you.‎ And now before I part from you I want to teach you once more all the wisdom, knowledge and ‎morality you are to observe in future upon the earth.‎
