'''[[Metatron]]''' is an [[angel]] in [[Judaism]], [[Christianity]], and [[Islam]] mentioned three times in the Talmud, in a few brief passages in the Aggadah, and in mystical [[Kabbalah|Kabbalistic]] texts within Rabbinic literature. The figure forms one of the traces for the presence of dualist proclivities in the otherwise monotheistic visions of both the Tanakh and later Christian doctrine. In the Jewish kabbalistic tradition, he is sometimes portrayed as serving as the celestial scribe. The name Metatron is not mentioned in the Torah or the [[Bible]] and how the name originated is a matter of debate. In Islamic tradition, he is also known as ''Mīṭaṭrūn'', the angel of the veil.
'''[[Anubis]]''' is the god of funerary rites, protector of graves, and guide to the underworld, in [[Egyptian religion|ancient Egyptian religion]], usually depicted as a canine or a man with a canine head.


In Jewish apocrypha and early Kabbalah, 'Metatron' is the name that Enoch received after his transformation into an angel.
Like many ancient Egyptian deities, Anubis assumed different roles in various contexts. Depicted as a protector of graves as early as the First Dynasty (c. 3100 – c. 2890 BC), Anubis was also an embalmer. By the Middle Kingdom (c. 2055–1650 BC) he was replaced by [[Osiris]] in his role as lord of the underworld. One of his prominent roles was as a god who ushered souls into the afterlife. He attended the weighing scale during the "Weighing of the Heart," in which it was determined whether a soul would be allowed to enter the realm of the dead.
