📚 Historical Context
In the book of Genesis, chapter 5, we find a genealogy tracing the descendants of Adam, which lists lifespans and key events in a world still early in human history. Enoch is specially noted for his close relationship with God, starting after the birth of his son Methuselah, in an era when people lived for hundreds of years and moral decline was becoming evident. This verse highlights Enoch's faithful walk as a contrast to the general pattern of human sinfulness described in the narrative.
