Enoch

longevity Enoch ( Hebrew : חֲנוֹךְ , Modern : H̱anokh , Tiberian : Ḥănōḵ ; ʼIdrīs ) is a figure in the Generations of Adam . Enoch is described as Adam's great grandson, through Seth , and the text reads—uniquely in the Generations—that Enoch "walked with God: and he was not; for God took him," avoiding the mortal death ascribed to Adam's other descendants. Additionally, Enoch is described as the father of Methuselah and great-grandfather of Noah (Genesis 5:22-29). Despite the brief descriptions of him, Enoch is one of the main two focal points for much of the 1st millennium BC Jewish mysticism , notably in the Book of Enoch . In Islam , he is usually referred to as Idris (إدريس), and regarded as a prophet . Additionally, Enoch is important in some Christian denominations: he features in the Latter Day Saint movement , and is commemorated as one of the Holy Forefathers in the Calendar of Saints of the Armenian Apostolic Church and the Armenian Catholic Church on July 26.
