Methuselah came to his father and asked: "What is pleasing to your eyes, father? What can I prepare for you before you depart, that you may bless our homes and your sons and all the people, and then go as the Lord has said?"

Enoch answered him plainly: "Since the Lord anointed me with the ointment of His glory, food holds nothing for me. My soul does not remember earthly pleasures. I want nothing of this world."

He asked Methuselah to summon everyone — all his brothers, all the household, all the elders of the people. And when they had assembled, Enoch blessed them and delivered his final teaching.

He spoke of Adam — how God descended to earth for Adam's sake, created him, brought every beast and bird and reptile before him so he could name them, appointed him ruler over all creation. He taught them the sacred obligation toward animals: whoever harms a beast harms his own soul. Whoever kills an animal without proper cause defiles his own flesh. And whoever takes a human life kills his own soul, with no remedy for all time.

"Keep your hearts from every injustice," Enoch commanded. "Just as a man asks something from God for his own soul, let him do the same for every living soul."

He taught them about giving: when a man clothes the naked and feeds the hungry, he finds reward from God. But if his heart murmurs while giving, he commits a double evil — destroying both himself and the value of his gift. And every proud, boastful person is hateful to the Lord.

"Blessed is the man who brings his gifts with patience and faith," Enoch said. "He will find forgiveness. But if he takes back his words before the time, there is no repentance. And if the time passes and he does not fulfill what he promised, there is no repentance after death."

These were the last moral teachings of a man who had walked through all ten heavens and returned to tell the tale. Not visions of fire and glory — but instructions about kindness, humility, and keeping your word.
