Editing Enoch (section)

==Book of Genesis==
Enoch appears in the [[Book of Genesis]] of the [[Pentateuch]] as the seventh of the ten pre-[[Genesis flood narrative|Deluge]] [[Patriarchs (Bible)|Patriarchs]]. Genesis states that each of the pre-Flood Patriarchs lived for several centuries. Genesis 5 provides a genealogy of these ten figures (from Adam to Noah), providing the age at which each fathered the next, and the age of each figure at death. Enoch is considered by many to be the exception, who is said to "not see death" ({{Bibleref2|Hebrews|11:5|9}}). Furthermore, {{bibleverse||Genesis|5:22–24|HE}} states that Enoch lived for 365 years, which is shorter than other pre-Flood Patriarchs, who are all recorded as dying at over 700 years of age. The brief account of Enoch in Genesis 5 ends with the cryptic note that "he was not; for God took him."<ref>Genesis 5:24, KJV</ref> This happens 57 years after Adam's death and 69 years before Noah's birth.
