The text of the Book of Genesis says Enoch lived 365 years before he was taken by God. The text reads that Enoch "walked with God: and he was no more; for God took him" (Gen 5:21–24), which is interpreted as Enoch entering heaven alive in some Jewish and Christian traditions, and interpreted differently in others. Enoch is the subject of many ...
Genesis 5:24 says "Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, for God took him," but it does not state whether he was alive or dead nor where God took him. The Books of Kings describes the prophet Elijah being taken towards the heavens ( Hebrew : שָׁמַיִם , romanized : šāmayim ) in a whirlwind, but the word can mean either heaven ...
This section has many similarities to 1 Enoch and other Enoch texts, including 2 Enoch, 3 Enoch, and The Book of Giants.

When Enoch had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Methuselah. Enoch walked with God after the birth of Methuselah three hundred years, and had other sons and daughters. Thus all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty-five years. Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him.
The period from the birth of Shem's third son Arpachshad (in the second year after the Flood) to Abraham's migration to Canaan is 365 years, [23] mirroring Enoch's life-span of 365 years, the number of days in a year. [24]

[1] In the King James Bible, the text makes it clear that Cain built the city and named it after his son. According to the Book of Jubilees 4:9, Enoch's mother/aunt was named Awan.
Enos was the father of Kenan, who was born when Enos was 90 years old [5] (or 190 years, according to the Septuagint). According to the Bible, Enos died at the age of 905, when Noah was aged 84 (as per Masoretic chronology).
The simple addition of the reigns of Judah's kings results in a total of 430 years, but by positing a few overlapping reigns, Ussher shortened this to 424 years: 1012 to 588 BC. After reckoning the years from creation to the last kings of Judah, Ussher used 2 Kings 25:27 to establish the length of time from the creation to the accession of ...
