Enoch

The son of Jared, and father of Methuselah (Gen 5:21; Luk 3:37). 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 5:22—24), when he was translated without tasting death. His whole life on earth was three hundred and sixty—five years. He was the "seventh from Adam" (Jud 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 (Heb 11:5). When he was translated, 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 Jud 1:14.
