(Heb., hanokh, consecrated; Gr., Henoch).
1. Eldest son of Cain, after whom the first city was named (Gen 4:17-18).
2. Son of Jared (Gen 5:18) and father of Methuselah (Gen 5:21-22; Luk 3:37). Abram walked before God (Gen 17:1) but only Enoch and Noah are said to have walked with God (Gen 5:24; Gen 6:9). The walk with God occurred in Eden and anticipates a new paradise (Rev 21:3; Rev 22:3-4). The secret of Enoch’s walk with God was faith (Heb 11:5-6). It characterizes the living saints when Christ comes that they will pass from mortality to immortality without going through death (1Co 15:51-52). His translation from an evil world was a fitting testimony to the truth attributed to him in Jude 1:14-15.

Name of people and a place in the OT.
1. Firstborn of Cain. Father of Irad (Gen 4:17-18).
. The first city in the history of mankind († œCain… built a city and called the name of the city after the name of his son, E. †).
. Son of Jared. We are told of him that “he therefore walked with God”, which points to a character especially holy and pleasing to God, for which “he disappeared, because God took him” (Gen 5:24). This fact was related to the faith of E., since “by faith E. was translated so as not to see death, and was not found, because God translated him; and before he was translated, he had testimony that he pleased God † (Heb 11:5). These words suggest that the writer was referring to more detailed writings on the life of E., who was a very popular figure in Hebrew literature, especially apocalyptic. Jude 1:14 says that “E., the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, Behold, the Lord came with tens of thousands of his holy ones.” Three apocryphal books with the name of E. are known today: a) the Ethiopic Book of E.; b) the Book of secrets of E.; and c) the Hebrew Book of E. Everything seems to indicate that the mentioned prophetic quotation was taken from the Ethiopic Book of E., chap. 1, v. 9. The figure of E. appears often in many other apocryphal books, such as Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus, Jubilees, etc. He is portrayed as a great sage who taught men writing.
. Eldest son of Reuben, head of “the family of the Enochites” (Num 26:5).

vet, = “initiated, consecrated”. (a) Son of Cain, and name of the city founded by Cain, to which he gave the name of his son (Gen. 4:17). (b) Son of Jared, he fathered Methuselah. He lived 365 years and walked with God. Enoch is the only one of the antediluvian genealogy of which it is not said “and died”. This was because he “God took him” (Gen. 5:18-24). He was “translated so as not to see death” (Heb. 11:5; Eccl. 44:16; 49:14). A prophecy of Enoch, announcing God’s just judgment against the wicked, has been incorporated in Jud. 14, 15. The words of this prophecy are also found in the Jewish apocryphal book of Enoch, although manipulated. (c) Son of Midian; descendant of Abraham and Cetura (Gen. 25:4), transcribed Hanoch. (d) Son of Reuben, also transliterated as Hanoch (Gen. 46:9).

Antediluvian figure, father of Methuselah. According to the Scripture, he was transferred by God to heaven so that he would not see death as Ecclesiasticus says (44.16), interpreting the text of Genesis (5.24)
Hence the Jewish tradition, passed down to the early Christians, that Enoch, along with Elijah, are kept alive by God so that they will return in the end times to fight the Antichrist.
One of the apocryphal books of the second century “the Book of Enoch”, written by a Jew and completed by a Christian, is loaded with exotic and mysterious legends and prophecies about it.

(Ready; Opened).
1. Son of Cain and father of Irad. He was born in the land of the Fugitive Condition after Cain killed his brother Abel. (Ge 4:17, 18)
2. Son of Jared. He was born when his father was one hundred and sixty-two years old, and was the seventh man in the genealogical line from Adam. At the age of sixty-five he became the father of Methuselah, and later had other sons and daughters. He was part of the “so great cloud of witnesses” who were outstanding examples of faith in ancient times. “Enoch kept walking with the true God.” (Ge 5:18, 21-24; Heb 11:5; 12:1) As a prophet of Jehovah, he foretold the coming of God with his holy myriads to execute judgment against the wicked (Jude 14, 15), and this was perhaps the reason why he was persecuted. However, God did not allow his opponents to kill him, so he “took him”, that is, he interrupted his life at the age of three hundred and sixty-five, which was far below the normal age for that time. The Bible says that Enoch was “transferred so that he should not see death,” which may mean that God put him into a prophetic trance during which he interrupted his life so that he did not experience the pangs of death. death. (Ge 5:24; Heb 11:5, 13) In view of the clear words of Jesus at John 3:13, Enoch was not taken to heaven, but, perhaps as in the case of Moses, Jehovah made disappear his body, so that “it was found nowhere.” (De 34:5, 6; Jude 9)
Enoch is not the writer of the “Book of Enoch”. This is an apocryphal, uninspired book written many centuries later, probably during the 2nd and 1st centuries BC. CE
3. First city mentioned in the Bible. Cain built it in the land of the Runaway, E of Eden, and named it after his son Enoch. (Ge 4:17.)

Gen. 5 is the first source in the OT from which information about the patriarch Enoch is obtained. He was taken to heaven, which produced extensive intellectual activity around his name (see L. Ginzberg, The Legends of the Jews, Jewish Publication Society, Philadelphia, 1946, Vol. VII, pp. 137–138). Lc. 3:37 mentions him and in Heb. 11:5 he is cited as one of the heroes of the faith.
Three Jewish apocryphal books bear his name. The first in date and importance is “Enoch the Ethiopian”, a collection of writings dealing generally with the apocalyptic theme, dating from the last two centuries before Christ. The name “Ethiopic” indicates the language of the extant version although the book was originally composed in Hebrew or Aramaic. Enoch the Ethiopian can be divided into five sections: (1) ch. 1–36 are a discussion of angels and the universe; (2) ch. 37–71 the “similarities of Enoch” constitute an apocalyptic description of the end times (3) ch. 72–82 are titled “The Book of Heavenly Lights”; (4) ch. 83–90 contain two visions; and (5) chap. 91–104 include the well-known “apocalypse of weeks” that divide human history into ten parts, seven past (from the author’s point of view) and three yet to come. Much debate has been provoked by Enoch’s use of the term “son of man” (46:2, 3ff.), especially regarding its origin, its meaning in Enoch, and its meaning in Jesus’ use of the title. There is no doubt that it is a Messianic appellation, and some (eg R. Otto) assert that Jesus took it from Enoch. At best he could be syndicated to Dn. 7:14 as the source in the use of Jesus. Jude. 14, 15 quotes Enoch to reinforce his argument about the future judgment on the wicked.
A second book named after Enoch is the “Slavonic Enoch” sometimes also called “The Book of Enoch’s Secrets”. It was previously thought to have been written in the first century BC, but it is now generally agreed to be at a later date, possibly the late 7th century AD It was originally written in Greek, and reveals a typical apocalyptic genre describing visions, angels , heaven, hell, sun, moon, stars, and future time divisions. Finally, there is the “Third Enoch” who is also post-Christian. It is of minor importance because of its late date and its fragmentary nature.

1. Son of Cain (Gen. 4.17) whose name received a city.
2. Son of Jared and father of Methuselah (Gen. 5.18, 21). Enoch was a man of remarkable holiness who enjoyed intimate communion with God (Gn. 5.22, 24: by the expression “he walked… with God”, cf. Gn. 6.9; Mi. 6.8; Mal. 2.6). Like Elijah (2 Kings 2.11), he was received into the presence of God without seeing death (Gen. 5.24).
It is probable that the language of Sal. 49.15; 73.24 reflects the story of Enoch. In that case, the example of the assumption of Enoch had to do with the origin of the Jewish hope related to life with God after death. (In the Apocrypha, Wisdom 4:10–14 also treats Enoch as a leading example of the righteous man’s hope of eternal life.)
In the NT, He. 11.5s attributes Enoch’s assumption to his faith; the expression “to have pleased God” is the translation in the LXX of “way… with God” (Gn. 5.24). Jude 14s cites a prophecy attributed to Enoch in 1 Enoch 1.9.
In the intertestamental period Enoch became a popular figure: see Eccl. 44.16; 49.14, 16 (Heb.); Jubilees 4.14–26; 10.17; and 1 Enoch. The legend of Enoch was probably elaborated in the Babylonian diaspora as opposed to the antediluvian sages of the Mesopotamian legends. Thus Enoch became the initiator of the art of writing and the first wise man, who received heavenly revelations of the secrets of the universe and transmitted them in writing to later generations.
In the primitive tradition his wisdom occupies a prominent place…
