In the Book of Genesis, '''Enoch''' or '''Hanoch''' ('''חֲנוֹךְ''' "Initiated; dedicated; disciplined", Standard Hebrew '''Ḥanoḫ''', Tiberian Hebrew '''Ḥănôḵ''') is a name shared by two individuals named in the Genealogies of Genesis and subsequent [[Judaism|Jewish]], [[Christianity|Christian]], and [[Islam|Islamic]] writers.

*The first was the son of Cain and father of Irad. Cain later founded a city which he named Enoch ''(Genesis 4:17-18)''.
*The second was the son of Jared, father of Methuselah, grandfather of Lamech and the great-grandfather of [[Noah]].

==Life of Enoch, son of Jared==
According to Genesis 5:23-24, Enoch was a just man, walked with God, lived 365 years, and then was taken by God without dying. In the [[Book of Enoch]] he was called The Scribe of Righteousness by God

In the New Testament, Jude quotes Enoch as prophesying a day of judgement.

In the Quran, the prophet Enoch is known as [[Idris]], and described as follows:
:"Verily! He was a man of truth (and) a prophet. We raised him to a high station." (Qur'an 19:56-57).

In Islam, Idris (Enoch) is also revered as the first man to be taught literature and writing by God.

According to the LDS Church's Pearl of Great Price, this Enoch founded the righteous city of Zion in a very wicked world. He and the entire city's inhabitants were "translated" (meaning he would not taste of death - changed from a Telestial state to a Celestia] state) by God and vanished from the presence of the earth before the Great Flood. Methuselah and his family (including [[Noah]]) were left behind so that righteous people could still populate the earth.

According to the [[Hebrew]] pseudepigraphical apocryphal [[Book of Enoch]], [[God]] took Enoch and transformed him into the [[angel]] [[Metatron]].

According to some traditions Enoch, being the Scribe of God, is still alive and has been recording the history of the World for God since he was born.
