Male • Son of Jared • A righteous man who walked with God.

Man living at the time before the Flood

Enoch, the son of Jared, walked with God and was taken by Him without experiencing death (Gen.5.18,19,21,22,23,24; Heb.11.5).

Enoch, the son of Jared, is a significant figure in the genealogy of the righteous line of Seth (Gen.5.18,19). He is described as a man who walked with God, indicating his close relationship and faithfulness to the Creator (Gen.5.22,24). Enoch's life is characterized by his exceptional piety and devotion, which sets him apart from the other individuals in the genealogy. The text states that Enoch lived a total of 365 years (Gen.5.23), which is notably shorter than the lifespans of the other patriarchs mentioned in the genealogy. The most remarkable aspect of Enoch's life is that he did not experience death; instead, God took him directly into His presence (Gen.5.24). This event is later referenced in the New Testament as an example of faith and divine favor (Heb.11.5). Enoch is also mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ, linking him to the Messianic lineage (Luk.3.37). In the book of Jude, Enoch is described as a prophet who spoke about the judgment of the ungodly (Jud.1.14), indicating that he had a role in proclaiming God's message to his generation. Enoch's life serves as an example of a faithful servant of God who maintained a close relationship with Him in the midst of a world that was increasingly distant from the Creator.
