Chapter Text — Historical English Edition
R. Ishmael said : Metatron, the Prince of the Presence, said to me :
1 After all these things the Holy One, blessed be He, put His hand upon me and blessed me with 536O blessings.
2 And I was raised and enlarged to the size of the length and width of the world.
3 And He caused 72 wings to grow on me, 36 on each side. And each wing was as the whole world.
4 And He fixed on me 365 eyes : each eye was as the great luminary.
5 And He left no kind of splendour, brilliance, radiance, beauty in (of) all the lights of the universe that He did not fix on me.
