An Angel Carries Adam to the Third Heaven

Now while Seth was saying this to his mother, look, an angel blew the trumpet, and all the angels who had been lying on their faces stood up, and they cried out in a terrifying voice and said: 'May the glory of the Lord (be) blessed by all His works, because He has had mercy on Adam the creature made by His hands.' But when the angels had said these words, look, one of the six-winged seraphim came and snatched up Adam and carried him away to the Acherusian lake, and washed him three times, then brought him before God. And he stayed there three hours, lying down, and after that the Father of all, sitting on his throne, reached out his hand, and took Adam and handed him over to the archangel Michael saying: 'Lift him up into Paradise to the third Heaven, and leave him there until that great and terrifying day when I will set the world in order.'⁠a Then Michael took Adam and left him where God told him. And all the angels sang an angelic hymn, amazed that Adam had been forgiven.
