ENOCH

(@’nok), (1) the eldest son of Cain, who called the city which he built after his name (Gen. iv, 17). (2) One of the patriarchs, the father of Me thu selah. He ‘‘ walked with God: and he was not; for God took him” (Gen. v, 24) at the age of 365 years. The words quoted are generally understood to mean that Enoch did not die a natural death, but was removed as Elijah was.
