- Enoch stands out from the other patriarchs in several ways: his life is shorter, but reaches a perfect number, the number of days in a calendar year; he “walked with God” like Noah (6:9), and disappeared mysteriously, assumpted by God like Elijah (2 Kings 2:11f). He became a great figure in Jewish tradition, who proposed his piety as an example (Sir 44:16; 49:14) and attributed apocryphal books to him (cf. Jd 14-15).
