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.
[16] Enoch is not called the Lesser Yahweh. [16] In 3 Enoch, Metatron is called the Lesser Yahweh.

As long as a person lives, God allows them to ...
The canonical Book of Genesis mentions Enoch, the putative source of this revelation about the Elioud only in passing (as a long-lived ancestor of Noah), [3] and while it notes that Nephilim had children, it does not assign a name to them. [4] Another canonical Bible passage concerning a giant at Gath and his children, likely the Anakim, is ...
Enos, son of Seth is mentioned both in the Bible, and in distinctive Latter Day Saint texts. [8] The Doctrine and Covenants teaches that Enos was ordained to the priesthood at age 134. [9] When Adam called his posterity into the land of Adam-ondi-Ahman to give them a final blessing, Enos was one of the righteous high priests in attendance. [10]
