(more)www.youtube.com Enoch (from Hebrew: חֲנוֹךְ, Modern Khanokh Tiberian Ḥănôkh; Greek: Ενώχ, Enôkh; Arabic Name:اخنوخ, "initiated, dedicated, disciplined") is a Hebrew name. Hanoch is related to the Hebrew word "chinuch", meaning: enlightenment, wisdom, spirituality. Enoch (Hebrew: חֲנוֹךְ, Modern Ḥanokh Tiberian Ḥănōḵ; Arabic: إدريس) is a figure in the Generations of Adam. Enoch is described as Adam's greatx4 grandson, through Seth, and the text reads--uniquely in the Generations--that Enoch "walked with God: and he was not; for God took him," avoiding the mortal death ascribed to Adam's other descendants. Additionally, Enoch is described as the father of Methuselah and great-grandfather of Noah (Genesis 5:22-29). Despite the brief descriptions of him, Enoch is one of the main two focal points for much of the 1st millennium BC Jewish mysticism, notably in the Book of Enoch. In Islam, he is usually referred to as Idris (إدريس), and regarded as a prophet. Additionally, Enoch is important in some Christian denominations: he features in the Latter Day Saint Movement, and is commemorated as one of the Holy Forefathers in the Calendar of Saints of the Armenian Apostolic Church and the Armenian Catholic Church on July 26. Three extensive apocryphal works are attributed to Enoch (Henosch): * 1st Book of Enoch, or simply the Book of Enoch, an apocryphal book in the Ethiopic Bible that is usually dated between the third century BC and the first century AD. * 2nd Book of Enoch
