1 Chronicles 1:3Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech,
The setting
Post-exilic Jerusalem, ~450 BC. The Chronicler reaches Enoch's name and pauses - this one was so righteous God took him alive. Even in a list, some names shine...
The emotion here: awestruck at recording the name of one who bypassed death
The original word
Chanokh (חנוך) — dedicated/initiated, the one who walked so close to God he never died
Why it matters
Methuselah lived 969 years - longer than anyone in recorded history
Read with care
