Core Text — Sanhedrin 38b
אֲמַר לֵיהּ הַהוּא מִינָא לְרַב אִידִית: כְּתִיב ״וְאֶל מֹשֶׁה אָמַר עֲלֵה אֶל ה׳״, עֲלֵה אֵלַי מִיבְּעֵי לֵיהּ! אֲמַר לֵיהּ: זֶה מַטְּרוֹן שֶׁשְּׁמוֹ כְּשֵׁם רַבּוֹ, דִּכְתִיב ״כִּי שְׁמִי בְּקִרְבּוֹ״.

English: A sectarian challenged Rav Idi: Scripture says, “And to Moshe He said, Go up to Hashem,” whereas it should say, “Go up to Me.” He answered that this refers to Metatron, whose name is like his Master's, as it says, “for My name is in him.”
