Ἐνώχ G1802
Enoch, the seventh from Adam who walked with God and was taken without seeing death
The proper name for the antediluvian patriarch Enoch (Hebrew חֲנוֹךְ), appearing in two key contexts in the New Testament. Luke's genealogy traces Jesus' lineage back through Enoch to Adam, while Hebrews celebrates Enoch as the paradigmatic example of faith-pleasing God, noting that 'he was taken up so that he should not see death' (Heb 11:5, quoting Gen 5:24). Jude references the tradition of Enoch's prophecy about divine judgment. The Greek transliteration Ἐνώχ maintains recognizable continuity with the Hebrew original across translation traditions.
Senses
1. sense 1 — The proper name of the patriarch Enoch, son of Jared, father of Methuselah (Gen 5:18-24). In Luke 3:37, he appears in Jesus' genealogy. In Heb 11:5, he exemplifies faith-filled life that pleased God, resulting in his being 'taken up' without dying. In Jude 1:14, he's identified as a prophet who foretold judgment. Translations consistently transliterate the Hebrew name with minor orthographic variation: French 'Hénoc,' Spanish 'Henṓch,' German 'Henoch.' 3×
