Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: H2585 (חֲנוֹךְ, Chanokh)

Usage: In the New Testament, the name Enoch refers to a notable figure from the Old Testament, specifically the great-grandfather of Noah. Enoch is recognized for his exceptional piety and his unique departure from the earth, as he "walked with God" and was taken by God, bypassing death. This is highlighted in the genealogies and faith narratives of the Bible.

Cultural and Historical Background: Enoch is a significant figure in Jewish tradition and is mentioned in the genealogies of Genesis. He is one of the few individuals in the Bible who did not experience death, as God took him directly. This event is seen as a testament to his righteousness and close relationship with God. Enoch's life and translation to heaven have been subjects of fascination and theological reflection throughout Jewish and Christian history.

Ανωχ (WH Ἑνώχ, see their Introductory § 408) (Ἀνωχος, Ἀνωχου, , Josephus, Antiquities 1, 3, 4; Hebrew חֲנוך initiated or initiating (cf. B. D., under the word)), Enoch, father of Methuselah (Luke 3:37); on account of his extraordinary piety taken up alive by God to heaven (Genesis 5:18-24; Hebrews 11:5; (cf. Sir. 44:16; Josephus, Antiquities 1, 3, 4)); in the opinion of later Jews the most renowned antediluvian prophet; to whom, toward the end of the second century before Christ, was falsely attributed an apocalyptical book which was afterward combined with fragments of other apocryphal books, and preserved by the Fathers in Greek fragments and entire in an Ethiopic translation. This translation, having been found among the Abyssinian Christians toward the close of the last century, has been edited by Richard Laurence, archbishop of Cashel (Libri Henoch versio aethiopica. Oxon. 1838), and by A. Dillmann (Liber Henoch, aethiopice. Lipsius 1851); it was translated into English by R. Laurence (lst edition 1821; 3rd edition 1838 (reprinted (Scribners, N. Y.) 1883; also (with notes) by G. H. Schodde (Andover, 1882)), into German by A. G. Hoffman (Jen. 1833-38, 2 vols.) and by A. Dillmann (Lipsius 1853); each of the last two translators added a commentary. From this book is taken the 'prophecy' in Jude 1:14f; (cf. B. D. (American edition), also Dict. of Chris. Biog., under the word Enoch, The Book of).
