- Lamech descendant of Seth and father of Noah (Gen. v. 28-30), was the ninth generation from Adam.
The Book of Enoch relates how, at the birth of Noah, his father Lamech becomes frightened at the sight of the boy's unnaturally white body and his uncanny ability to converse with God. Lamech flees to his father Methuselah and informs him that his grandson resembles an angel more than a child. Lamech informs Methuselah that he has foreseen that a terrible accident will befall the earth during the lifetime of this child.
