Ἐνώς G1800
Enos, son of Seth, grandson of Adam; third generation from Adam in Luke's genealogy
This is the proper name Enos, referring to the son of Seth and grandson of Adam mentioned in Genesis 4:26. Luke 3:38 includes him in Jesus' genealogy, tracing the line back to Adam and ultimately to God. The name comes from Hebrew אֱנוֹשׁ meaning 'man' or 'mortal.' Genesis notes that in Enos's days people began to call upon the name of the Lord. Luke's inclusion of these ancient names grounds Jesus in the whole human story from creation forward.
Senses
1. sense 1 — Luke 3:38 lists Ἐνὼς in Jesus' genealogy as the son of Seth, son of Adam, son of God. This traces Jesus' lineage to humanity's beginning. The cross-lingual consistency (Enos, Enṓs) reflects the proper name's stability. Genesis 4:26 associates Enos with the beginning of worship: 'Then began men to call upon the name of the LORD.' Luke's genealogical regression to Adam establishes Jesus as the new Adam, representative of all humanity. 1×
