Apocalypse of Moses 14

Life of Adam and Eve

And when Adam's days were drawing to an end.

2He called Seth, his son, and said: Seth, my son, come near.

3I want to tell you what I saw when I was taken to the gates of Paradise.

4When I was praying before God, I saw that there was brought to me in the third heaven.

5The oil of mercy, which is the oil of the Tree of Life.

6And the angel said to me: This oil of mercy will be given to the righteous in the last days.

7When the Son of God comes to earth to raise up the body of Adam.

8And all who believe will be anointed with this oil and will have eternal life.
