Moses says, "That then men began to call on the name of the Lord," that is, that Enos was the first who practised any external form of worship; others believe that the pa age implies that this was the commencement of idolatry, and that men now began to profane the name of the Lord. It is undoubted that Enos was a pious man, and an observer of social rites and religious ceremonies; and in contradistinction to the scoffers of Cain and his descendants, the patriarch and his family a umed the name of the servants or sons of God, which phrase explains the contradistinguishing term of the sons of men, and the pa age, "And the sons of God, seeing the daughters of men that they were fair, took them wives of all which they chose." Enos died at the age of 905, Α. Μ. 1140. Enos, a maritime town of European Turkey, in Roumelia, 38 miles from Gallipoli.

A sufficiency; that quantity of anything which sat is brews: "Enoch was translated that he should not see death." E. and Elijah are the only human beings on record who did not require to discharge the debt which mortals owe to nature. It may naturally be supposed that E. was a character on whom the extravagant fancy of the later Jews would fasten with unusual pleasure. As they came more and more into contact with Grecian and other culture, they felt the nece ity of linking on the arts and sciences of Gentile nations their own history, if they would continue to preserve that feeling of supremacy which was so dear to their pride as the chosen people. Hence, E. appears as the inventor of writing, arithmetic, astronomy, ., and is affirmed to have filled 300 books with the revelations which he received, the number 300 being obviously suggested by the number of years during which he is said to have walked with God. fies the desires or wants; that which is adequate to the needs; that which is equal to the powers, abilities, or faculties; as, enough of money, enough of work. -adv.

It is generally supposed, however, to have been written after the establishment of Christianity, from the frequent allusions that are made in it to pa ages of the New Testament; and it is probable that the author took occasion, from the words of St. Jude, to perpetrate the forgery. As for St. Jude himself, it is probable that he cites, not from any book of Enoch then existing, but from general tradition. The book was common in the early church, but was not generally received as canonical, and appears to have been lost about the 8th century. Bruce, however, when in Aby in i a, was fortunate enough to obtain three complete MS. copies of this work. An English translation was published in 1826, by Archbishop Lawrence, and the Ethiopic version in 1838. Several German editions have appeared. The book is chiefly enough.
