Enoch is a biblical figure before Noah's flood and the son of Jared and the father of Methuselah. He was of the Antediluvian period in the Hebrew Bible. This Enoch is not to be confused with Cain's son Enoch. This book is a pseudepigraphical work (a work that claims to be by a biblical character). It was not included in either the Hebrew or most Christian biblical canons but could have been considered a sacred text by the sectarians. The original Aramaic version was lost until the Dead Sea fragments were discovered.Enoch is a biblical figure before Noah's flood and the son of Jared and the father of Methuselah.
