<P> Enoch appears in the Book of Genesis of the Pentateuch as the seventh of the ten pre-Deluge Patriarchs . Genesis recounts that each of the pre-Flood Patriarchs lived for several centuries . Genesis 5 provides a genealogy of these ten figures ( from Adam to Noah ) , providing the age at which each fathered the next , and the age of each figure at death . Enoch is considered by many to be the exception , who is said to `` not see death '' . ( Hebrews 11 : 5 ) Furthermore , Genesis 5 : 22 -- 29 states that Enoch lived 365 years which is extremely short in the context of his peers , who are all recorded as dying at over 700 years of age . The brief account of Enoch in Genesis 5 ends with the cryptic note that `` he ( was ) not ; for God took him '' . </P>
