(ee' nawch) Personal name meaning, “dedicated.” 1. The son of Jared taken up to God without dying (Genesis 5:18 ). He became the father of Methuselah. Enoch lived in such close fellowship with God that he was translated into the presence of God without dying. Hebrews 11:5 attributes his translation to faith. According to Jude 1:14 , he prophesied. The name of Enoch is associated with a large body of ancient extra-biblical literature. See Genesis; Resurrection; Apocalyptic; Apocrypha; Pseudepigrapha .
