- Enoch the seventh generation patriach from Adam was the son of Jared, the father of Methuselah, and the great-grandfather of Noah.[1](Genesis 5:3-18)
Very little information or biography is available for most of the patriarchs. In the case of Enoch, however, although little is written about him, several religions revere him as a pious man who "walked with God." Three apocryphal works are attributed to Enoch and Rabbinic tradition idenifies Enoch as the Metatron, the angel who communicates God's word. The Kabbala, the written version of secret Rabbinic teachings, Enoch is idenified as the one who communicated God's revelations to Moses as well as dictating the Book of Jubilees. The New Testament has three references to Enoch ( Luke 3:23-38[2], Hebrews 11:5 [3], Jude 14-15 [4]).
