1 Enoch 85:3

Pseudepigrapha

2 And Enoch raised his voice and spoke to his son Methuselah: 'To you, my son, I will speak: listen to my words--pay attention to the dream-vision of your father. 3 Before I married your mother Edna, I saw in a vision on my bed, and behold a bull emerged from the earth, and this bull was white; and after it came a heifer, and along with this heifer came forth two bulls, one of them black and the other red. 4 And the black bull attacked the red one and chased him across the earth, and then I could no longer see the red bull.

Jubilees 4:20

Pseudepigrapha

19 And what was and what will be he saw in a vision of his sleep, as it will happen to the children of men throughout their generations until the day of judgment; he saw and understood everything, and wrote his testimony, and placed the testimony on earth for all the children of men and for their generations. 20 And in the twelfth jubilee, [582-88] in the seventh week thereof, he took to himself a wife, and her name was Edna, the daughter of Danel, the daughter of his father's brother, and in the sixth year in this week [587 A.M.] she bare him a son and he called his name Methuselah. 21 And he was moreover with the angels of God these six jubilees of years, and they showed him everything which is on earth and in the heavens, the rule of the sun, and he wrote down everything.
