Seventh from Adam in this line (Jude 1:14)
'Chanoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him' (Genesis 5:24) — did not die in the ordinary sense
Lived only 365 years before being taken — by far the shortest life in Genesis 5, framed in the text as a sign rather than a deficiency
Held up in Hebrews 11:5 as commended for faith and for pleasing God before he was taken
“He walked with God, and was not, for God took him”
Traditional note: The extra-biblical Book of Enoch (1 Enoch) — pseudepigraphal, outside the Hebrew Bible and Protestant canon — is the source of the elaborate visions, the Watchers narrative, and the prophecy of judgment that Jude 1:14–15 quotes directly. Jude's citation is itself canonical New Testament text, but the larger Enochic corpus it draws from is 'Tradition' for this dataset and is not otherwise incorporated. The portrait here rests on Genesis 5:21–24 and Hebrews 11:5.
