Excerpt from Legends of Old Testament Characters, Vol. 2: From the Talmud and Other Sources; Melchizedek to Zechariah

It is also said that, before he died, Lamech ordered his son, Noah, to transport the body of Adam to the centre of the earth. Now the centre or navel of the earth is Salem, afterwards called Jerusalem.

Lamech also bade Noah confide to one of his children the custody of the body of Adam, obliging him to remain all his life in the service of God, and in the practice of celibacy, never to Shed blood, and to offer to God only the sacrifice of bread and wine.
