(2.) ==The son of Jared, and father of Methuselah (Gen. == Enoch is mentioned in [[Genesis 5:21; ]] and [[Luke 3:37)]] as the son of Jared and the father of Methuselah. His father was one hundred and sixty-two years old when he was born. After the birth of Methuselah, Enoch "walked with God three hundred years" (Gen. [[Genesis 5]]:22-24), when he was translated taken without tasting death. His whole life on earth was three hundred and sixty-five years. He was the "seventh from Adam" ([[Jude 1:14]]), as distinguished from the son of Cain, the third from Adam. He is spoken of in the catalogue of [[Old Testament ]] worthies in the [[Epistle to the Hebrews ]] ([[Hebres 11:5]]). When he was translatedtaken away, only [[Adam]], so far as recorded, had as yet died a natural death, and [[Noah ]] was not yet born. Mention is made of Enoch's prophesying only in [[Jude 1:14]]. {{returnto}} [[Easton's Bible Dictionary]] | [[Enoch (Genesis)]]
