1. Genesis 4:17

   And Cain had relations with his wife, and she conceived and gave birth to Enoch. Then Cain built a city and named it after his son Enoch.

   ›Commentary on Genesis 4:172 voices

   “Cain knew his wife, and she conceived and bore Enoch. He built a city, and he called its name after his son's name, Enoch. Just as from the beginning of the world, starting with the murder of Abel, the passions of the saints were present; …

   “And Cain knew his wife,.... Who this woman was is not certain, nor whether it was his first wife or not; whether his sister, or one that descended from Adam by another of his sons, since this was about the one hundred and thirtieth year of the creation.

2. Genesis 4:18

   Now to Enoch was born Irad, and Irad was the father of Mehujael, and Mehujael was the father of Methusael, and Methusael was the father of Lamech.

   ›Commentary on Genesis 4:182 voices

   “And unto Enoch was born Irad,.... But of neither of them is any other mention made, either in sacred or profane history; nor is it said how old Enoch was when Irad was born, nor how long he lived after; as is recorded of Adam, Seth, and their posterity: and Irad begat Mehujael, and Mehujael begat Methusael; of whom also we have no other account: and Methusael begat Lamech; and it seems for the sake of Lamech that the genealogy of Cain's posterity is described and carried down thus far, some things being to be taken notice of concerning him.

   “That Cain remained alive until the seventh generation is clear. First, … it had been so decreed concerning him. Second, the length of the lives of those first generations also testifies to it. For if his father Adam remained alive until the ninth generation, that …

3. Genesis 5:18–24

   When Jared was 162 years old, he became the father of Enoch.

   ›Commentary on Genesis 5:18–242 voices

   “Enoch, in that he was engendered seventh in the line of descent from Adam, prefigured that the Lord would be conceived and born not in the usual way of mortal nature but by the power of the Holy Spirit. He prefigured that the full grace …

   “And Jared lived an hundred and sixty two years, and he begat Enoch. Here the Septuagint agrees with the Hebrew text, and the Samaritan version differs, reading only sixty two; but this can hardly be thought to be his first son at such an age.

5. Luke 3:37

   the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch, the son of Jared, the son of Mahalalel, the son of Cainan,

   ›Commentary on Luke 3:372 voices

   “But rightly rising up from the baptized Son of God to God the Father, he places Enoch in the seventy-seventh step, who, having put off death, was translated unto Paradise, that he might signify that those, who by the grace of adoption of sons are born again of water and the Holy Spirit, are in the mean time (after the dissolution of the body) to be received into eternal rest, for the number seventy, because of the seventh of the sabbath, signifies the rest of those who, the grace of God assisting them, have fulfilled the decalogue of the aw.

   “Which was the son of Mathusala,.... The same with Methuselah; and so he is called by the Septuagint in Gen 5:25 which was the son of Enoch, Gen 5:21 which was the son of Jared Gen 5:18, which was the son of Maleleel; the same with Mahalaleel; who is also so called by the seventy interpreters, in Gen 5:15 as here; which was the son of Cainan, Gen 5:12.

6. Hebrews 11:5

   By faith Enoch was taken up so that he did not see death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.” For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.

   ›Commentary on Hebrews 11:52 voices

   “By faith Enoch was translated,....

   “By faith Enoch was translated - The account of Enoch is found in Gen 5:21-24. It is very brief, and is this, that “Enoch walked with God, and was not, for God took him.” There is no particular mention of his “faith,” and the apostle attributes this to him, as in the case of Abel, either because it was involved in the very nature of piety, or because the fact was communicated to him by direct revelation.
