    Enoch (/ˈiːnək/ ( 11px-Loudspeaker.svg. listen))[a] is a biblical figure prior to Noah's flood
    and the son of Jared and father of Methuselah.

    He was of the Antediluvian period in the Hebrew Bible.

    This Enoch is not to be confused with Cain's son Enoch (Genesis 4:17).

    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" (Gen 5:21–24),
    which is interpreted as Enoch's entering heaven alive
    in some Jewish and Christian traditions.

    Enoch is the subject of many Jewish and Christian traditions.

    He was considered the author of the Book of Enoch[3]
    and also called Enoch the scribe of judgment.[4]

    The New Testament has three references to Enoch
    from the lineage of Seth (Luke 3:37, Hebrews 11:5, Jude 1:14–15).
