Adapa Myth 63-65:
They fetched him the bread of life, but he would not eat. They fetched for him the water of life, but he would not drink. They fetched him a garment, and he put it on himself. They fetched him oil, and he anointed himself.

2 Enoch 9.17-19:
And the Lord said to Michael: “Take Enoch and take off his earthly garments, and anoint him with good oil, and clothe him in glorious garments” … “and I looked at myself, and I was like one of the glorious ones, and there was no apparent difference.”
