Metatron is a significant angel appearing in various Jewish mystical texts, including the Talmud, Aggadah, and Kabbalistic literature. Often described as a high-ranking celestial scribe, he is frequently identified in apocryphal traditions as the transformed form of the patriarch Enoch. While his specific role and the origins of his name are subjects of scholarly debate, he is frequently characterized as a supreme figure within the heavenly hierarchy, sometimes serving near the divine throne.
