'''Enoch''' ({{IPAc-en|ˈ|iː|n|ə|k|audio=en-ca-Enoch.ogg}} {{Hebrew name|hebrew={{Script/Hebrew|חֲנוֹךְ}}|tiber=Ḥănōḵ|stan=Ḥanōḵ}}; {{langx|el|Ἑνώχ}} ''Henṓkh'') is a biblical figure and [[Patriarchs (Bible)|patriarch]] prior to [[Noah's flood]], and the son of [[Jared (biblical figure)|Jared]] and father of [[Methuselah]]. He was of the [[Antediluvian]] period in the Hebrew Bible. 

The text of the [[Book of Genesis]] says Enoch lived 365 years before he was taken by God. The text reads that Enoch "walked with God: and he was no more; for God took him" ({{Bibleref2|Gen|5:21–24|9}}), which is interpreted as Enoch [[entering heaven alive]] in some Jewish and Christian traditions, and interpreted differently in others.

Enoch is the subject of many Jewish and Christian traditions. He was considered the author of the [[Book of Enoch]]<ref>August Dillmann and R. Charles (1893). ''[https://www.dropbox.com/s/zxr5mf6rwk1mv66/DILLMANN_Book.of.Enoch.pdf?dl=0 The Book of Enoch]'', translation from Geez.</ref> and also called the scribe of judgement.<ref>''1Enoch'', chap. 12</ref> In the New Testament, the [[Gospel of Luke]], the [[Epistle to the Hebrews]], and the [[Epistle of Jude]] all reference Enoch, the last of which also quotes from the Book of Enoch.<ref>{{Bibleverse|Luke|3:37}}, {{Bibleverse|Hebrews|11:5}}, {{Bibleverse|Jude|1:14-15}}</ref> In the [[Catholic Church]], [[Eastern Orthodoxy]], and [[Oriental Orthodoxy]], he is venerated as a [[Saint]].

==Etymology==
Several etymologies have been proposed for the name Enoch ({{lang|he|חֲנוֹךְ }} ''Ḥănōḵ''). [[Philo of Alexandria]] proposed it meant "your grace" (from Hebrew {{lang|he|ḥēn}}, while [[Jerome]] derived it from the verb (''ḥ-n-ḵ''), meaning to train, initiate, dedicate, inaugurate,<ref>{{Cite web |title=Strong's Hebrew Concordance - 2596. chanak |url=https://biblehub.com/hebrew/2596.htm |website=Bible Hub}}</ref> giving a meaning "dedicated". Modern scholars have proposed meanings including "follower", "inaugurated", and "wise" or "clever".<ref>{{cite encyclopedia|last=Moster |first=David |title=Enoch (Son of Cain) |encyclopedia=Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception Online |year=2013|publisher=de Gruyter|doi=10.1515/ebr.enochsonofcain}}, {{cite encyclopedia|last=Moster |first=David |title=Enoch (Son of Jared): Old Testament |encyclopedia=Encyclopedia of the Bible and Its Reception Online |year=2013|publisher=de Gruyter|doi=10.1515/ebr.enochsonofjared}}</ref>

==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.

==Books of Enoch (Apocryphal)==
[[File:William Blake Enoch Lithograph 1807.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Enoch, [[lithograph]] by [[William Blake]], 1807.]]
Three extensive [[Apocrypha]] are attributed to Enoch:
*[[Book of Enoch|The Book of Enoch]] (aka 1 Enoch), composed in [[Hebrew]] or [[Aramaic]] and preserved in [[Ge'ez]], first brought to Europe by [[James Bruce]] from Ethiopia and translated into English by August Dillmann and Reverent Schoode<ref>{{cite book|last=Schodde|first=George H|title=The Book of Enoch| year=1882|url=https://www.dropbox.com/s/6rbnsqkbyux8z0b/SCHODDE_The-Book-of-Enoch.pdf?dl=0}}</ref> – recognized by the [[Orthodox Tewahedo]] churches and usually dated between the third century BC and the first century AD. 
*[[Second Book of Enoch|2 Enoch]] (aka Book of the Secrets of Enoch), preserved in [[Old Church Slavonic]], and first translated in English by William Morfill<ref>{{cite web|title=MORFILL – The Book of the Secrets of Enoch (1896)|url=https://www.dropbox.com/s/xect6zyuyhw137z/MORFILL_2Enoch_Book.of.Enoch.Secrets.pdf?dl=0}}</ref> – usually dated to the first century AD.
*[[3 Enoch]], a Rabbinic text in Hebrew usually dated to the fifth century AD.
These recount how Enoch was taken up to [[Heaven]] and was appointed guardian of all the celestial treasures, chief of the [[archangel]]s, and the immediate attendant on the [[Throne of God]]. He was subsequently taught all secrets and mysteries and, with all the angels at his back, fulfills of his own accord whatever comes out of the mouth of God, executing His decrees. Some esoteric literature, such as 3 Enoch, identifies Enoch as [[Metatron]], the angel which communicates God's word. In consequence, Enoch was seen, by this literature and the Rabbinic [[kabbalah]] of Jewish mysticism, as the one who communicated God's revelation to Moses, and, in particular, as the dictator of the [[Book of Jubilees]].

===In Book of Giants===
[[The Book of Giants]] is a Jewish [[pseudepigrapha]]l work from the third century BC and resembles the Book of Enoch. Fragments from at least six and as many as eleven copies were found among the [[Dead Sea Scrolls]] collections.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Eisenman|first1=Robert|last2=Wise|first2=Michael|title=The Dead Sea Scrolls Uncovered|date=1992|publisher=Element Books, Inc.|location=Shaftesbury, Dorset|isbn=1852303689|page=[https://archive.org/details/isbn_9781852303686/page/95 95]|edition=6|url-access=registration|url=https://archive.org/details/isbn_9781852303686/page/95}}</ref>

===Septuagint===
The third-century BC translators who produced the [[Septuagint]] in [[Koine Greek]] rendered the phrase "God took him" with the Greek verb ''metatithemi'' ({{lang|grc|μετατίθημι}})<ref>5:24 καὶ εὐηρέστησεν Ενωχ τῷ θεῷ καὶ οὐχ ηὑρίσκετο ὅτι μετέθηκεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεός</ref> meaning moving from one place to another.<ref>[[LSJ]] [https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/morph?l=%CE%BC%CE%B5%CF%84%E1%BD%B3%CE%B8%CE%B7%CE%BA%CE%B5%CE%BD&la=greek#lexicon metatithemi]</ref> [[Sirach]] 44:16, from about the same period, states that "Enoch pleased God and was translated into [[paradise]] that he may give repentance to the nations." The Greek word used here for [[paradise]], ''paradeisos'' ({{lang|grc|παράδεισος}}), was derived from an ancient Persian word meaning "enclosed garden", and was used in the Septuagint to describe the garden of Eden. Later, however, the term became synonymous for heaven, as is the case here.<ref>[http://studybible.info/strongs/G3857 G3857 παράδεισος] Strong's Greek Lexicon. Retrieved 2015-08-01 <br/>[http://biblehub.com/greek/3857.htm Strong's Greek 3857_ παράδεισος (paradeisos) – a park, a garden, a paradise] Retrieved 2015-08-01</ref>

===In Classical Rabbinism===
In classical Rabbinical literature, there are various views of Enoch. One view regarding Enoch that was found in the [[Targum Pseudo-Jonathan]], which thought of Enoch as a pious man, taken to Heaven, and receiving the title of ''Safra rabba'' (''Great scribe''). After Christianity was completely separated from Judaism, this view became the prevailing rabbinical idea of Enoch's character and exaltation.<ref name=je>{{cite web|url=http://jewishencyclopedia.com/view.jsp?artid=383&letter=E |title=Jewish Encyclopedia ''Enoch'' |publisher=Jewishencyclopedia.com |access-date=2014-03-26}}</ref>

According to [[Rashi]]<ref>Rashi's Commentary on {{Bibleref2|Genesis|5:24|9}}. See also Commentary of [[Abraham ibn Ezra|Ibn Ezra]].</ref> [from [[Genesis Rabbah]]<ref>25:1</ref>], "Enoch was a righteous man, but he could easily be swayed to return to do evil. Therefore, the Holy One, blessed be He, hastened and took him away and caused him to die before his time. For this reason, Scripture changed [the wording] in [the account of] his demise and wrote, 'and he was no longer' in the world to complete his years."

Among the minor [[Midrash]]im, esoteric attributes of Enoch are expanded upon. In the ''Sefer Hekalot'', Rabbi Ishmael is described as having visited the [[Seven Heavens|Seventh Heaven]], where he met Enoch, who claims that earth had, in his time, been corrupted by the demons Shammazai, and [[Azazel]], and so Enoch was taken to Heaven to prove that God was not cruel.<ref name=je/> Similar traditions are recorded in Sirach. Later elaborations of this interpretation treated Enoch as having been a pious ascetic, who, called to mix with others, preached repentance, and gathered (despite the small number of people on Earth) a vast collection of disciples, to the extent that he was proclaimed king. Under his wisdom, peace is said to have reigned on earth, to the extent that he is summoned to Heaven to rule over the ''sons of God''.

===New Testament===
The New Testament contains three references to Enoch.
*The first is a brief mention in one of the genealogies of the ancestors of Jesus in the [[Gospel of Luke]]. (Luke 3:37).
*The second mention is in the [[Epistle to the Hebrews]] which says, "By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God." (Hebrews 11:5 KJV). This suggests he did not experience the mortal death ascribed to Adam's other descendants, which is consistent with Genesis 5:24 KJV, which says, "And Enoch walked with God: and he ''[was]'' not; for God took him."
*The third mention is in the [[Epistle of Jude]] (1:14–15) where the author attributes to "Enoch, the Seventh from Adam" a passage not found in Catholic and Protestant canons of the Old Testament. The quotation is believed by most modern scholars to be taken from [[Book of Enoch|1 Enoch]] 1:9 which exists in Greek, in Ge'ez (as part of the Ethiopian Orthodox canon), and also in Aramaic among the [[Dead Sea Scrolls]].<ref>4Q Enoch (4Q204[4QENAR]) COL I 16–18</ref><ref>Clontz, T.E. and J., "The Comprehensive New Testament with complete textual variant mapping and references for the Dead Sea Scrolls, Philo, Josephus, Nag Hammadi Library, Pseudepigrapha, Apocrypha, Plato, Egyptian Book of the Dead, Talmud, Old Testament, Patristic Writings, Dhammapada, Tacitus, Epic of Gilgamesh", Cornerstone Publications, 2008, p. 711, {{ISBN|978-0-9778737-1-5}}</ref> The same scholars recognise that 1 Enoch 1:9 itself is a [[midrash]] of Deuteronomy 33:2.<ref>"The initial oracle in chapters 1–5 is a paraphrase of part of Deuteronomy 33,24" George W.

===Influence in Christianity===

The Book of Enoch was excluded from both the Hebrew Tanakh and the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, the Septuagint. It was not considered canon by either Jewish or early Christian readers. However, Church Fathers such as [[Justin Martyr]], [[Athenagoras of Athens]], [[Irenaeus]], [[Clement of Alexandria]], [[Origen]], [[Tertullian]], and [[Lactantius]] all speak highly of Enoch and contain many allusions to the Book of Enoch as well as in some instances advocating explicitly for the use of the Book of Enoch as Scripture.<ref>{{cite web|title=ANF01.

The letter of Jude's citation of the Book of Enoch as prophetic text encouraged acceptance and usage of the Book of Enoch in early Christian circles. The main themes of Enoch about the Watchers corrupting humanity were commonly mentioned in early literature. This positive treatment of the Book of Enoch was associated with [[millennialism]] which was popular in the early Church. When [[amillennialism]] began to be common in Christianity, the Book of Enoch, being incompatible with amillennialism, came to be widely rejected. After the split of the Oriental Orthodox Church from the Catholic Church in the 5th century, use of the Book of Enoch was limited primarily to the Oriental Orthodox Church. Eventually, the usage of the Book of Enoch became limited to Ethiopian circles of the Oriental Orthodox Church.

Another common element that some Church Fathers, like [[John of Damascus]], spoke of, was that they considered Enoch to be one of the [[two witnesses]] mentioned in the [[Book of Revelation]]. This view still has many supporters today in Christianity.

===In Mormonism===
Among the [[Latter Day Saint movement]] and particularly in [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]], Enoch is viewed as having founded an exceptionally righteous city, named [[Zion (Latter Day Saints)|Zion]], in the midst of an otherwise wicked world. This view is encountered in the [[standard works]], the ''[[Pearl of Great Price (Mormonism)|Pearl of Great Price]]'' and the ''[[Doctrine and Covenants]]'', which states that not only Enoch, but the entire peoples of the city of Zion, were [[translation (Latter Day Saints)|taken off this earth without death]], because of their piety. (Zion is defined as "the pure in heart" and this city of Zion will return to the earth at the [[Second Coming]] of [[Jesus]].) The ''Doctrine and Covenants'' further states that Enoch prophesied that one of his descendants, [[Noah]], and his family, would survive a Great Flood and thus carry on the human race and preserve the Scripture. The [[Book of Moses]] in the ''Pearl of Great Price'' includes chapters that give an account of Enoch's preaching, visions, and conversations with God. They provide details concerning the wars, violence and natural disasters in Enoch's day, but also reference the miracles performed by Enoch.

The Book of Moses is itself an excerpt from [[Joseph Smith]]'s translation of the Bible, which is published in full, complete with these chapters concerning Enoch, by [[Community of Christ]], in the ''[[Joseph Smith Translation of the Bible]]'', where it appears as part of the Book of Genesis. D&C 104:24 (CofC) / {{lds||dc|107|48|49}} (LDS) states that Adam ordained Enoch to the higher priesthood (now called the [[priesthood of Melchizedek]], after the great king and high priest) at age 25, that he was 65 when Adam blessed him, and that he lived for an additional 365 years until he and his city were blessed, making Enoch 430 years old at the time that "he was not, for God took him" (Genesis 5:24).

Additionally in LDS theology, Enoch is implied to be the scribe who recorded [[Adam]]'s blessings and prophecies at [[Adam-ondi-Ahman]], as recorded in D&C {{lds||dc|107|53|57}} (LDS) / D&C 104:29b (CofC).

==Other religions==

===In Islam===
Most Muslims identify Enoch with as the Qur'anic prophet [[Idris (prophet)|Idris]]. However, some etymological research suggests that the Greek version of the name [[Ezra]] (Esdras) is a more plausible origin for the name Idris.

Aside from Enoch and Ezra, Idris is also frequently identified as [[Hermes Trismegistus]]. This [[Hermeticism|Hermetic]] identification of Idris isn't necessarily exclusive to his identification as a Biblical figure. While there is some dispute over whether or not Idris was Hermes Trismegistus, those who interpret Idris as Hermes Trismegistus also generally agree he was a Biblical prophet. 

===In Theosophy===
According to the [[theosophy|theosophist]] [[Helena Blavatsky]], the Jewish Enoch (or the Greek [[demigod]] [[Hermes]]<ref>{{cite book |url=https://archive.org/stream/hpb-articles/AncntSurModErr_djvu.txt|page=12|title=Ancient Survivals and Modern Errors|author=[[Helena Blavatsky]]|via=[[Internet Archive]]|date=June 1, 1885 |location=[[Bangalore]]|publisher=Theosophy Company (Mysore) Private Ltd.|chapter=Lamas and Druses}}</ref>) was "the first [[Grand Master (Masonic)|Grand Master]] and Founder of [[Freemasonry]]."<ref>{{cite book|author=[[Helena Blavatsky]]|chapter-url=https://archive.org/details/hpb-articles/AncientSciDocBelief/page/n33/mode/2up|via=[[Internet Archive]]|title=Ancient Science, Doctrine and Beliefs|page=33|publisher=Theosophy Company (Mysore) Private LTD |location=Bangalore|year=1981|chapter=The Eight Wonder by an Unpopular Philosopher (written in 188⁹)}} (''[[Lucifer]]'', October, 1791)</ref>
