metadata.value: In Second Temple Judaism, especially in apocalyptic literature, the encounter between
  God and believers acquires a distinct visionary accent. Regardless of whether heavenly realities are revealed on earth or the visionary ascends to heaven, the essence is the
  manifestation of important revelations. Corresponding Old Testament heroes, such
  as Enoch or Moses, according to apocryphal, Samaritan or rabbinic texts, ascended to
  the place of God’s presence (a throne room or even a cloud). In addition to receiving
  relevant soteriological and cosmological knowledge, they underwent transfiguration
  there. The transfiguration of these characters is very illustrative: they take angelic,
  royal, and priestly qualities. Divine radiance, shining faces, and magnificent robes are
  just some examples of the divine characteristics that are acquired. This article, together with the study of these elements, underlines the fact that these divine qualities were
  described in the literature around the change of era and dedicated to Adam prior to
  his expulsion from Eden. The closeness between the first man and God in the Garden
  of Eden was expressed in a number of divine attributes inherent in Adam, the same
  ones that would later be assumed by Enoch or Moses, among others, in heaven. In this
  way, the transfiguration of Enoch or Moses is nothing more than a manifestation of
  the rich Jewish anthropology of an Adamic character.
