Enoch ( ; Henṓkh) is a biblical figure and patriarch prior to Noah's flood. He is the son of Jared and father of Methuselah.
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" (), which is interpreted as Enoch entering heaven alive in some Jewish and Christian traditions, and interpreted differently in others.
