1 tn Heb “he fathered.”

2 tn Here and in vv. 10, 13, 16, 19 the word “other” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied for stylistic reasons.

3 sn With the seventh panel there is a digression from the pattern. Instead of simply saying that Enoch lived, the text observes that he “walked with God.” The rare expression “walked with” (the Hitpael form of the verb הָלָךְ, halakh, “to walk” collocated with the preposition אֶת, ’et, “with”) is used in 1 Sam 25:15 to describe how David’s men maintained a cordial and cooperative relationship with Nabal’s men as they worked and lived side by side in the fields. In Gen 5:22 the phrase suggests that Enoch and God “got along.” This may imply that Enoch lived in close fellowship with God, leading a life of devotion and piety. An early Jewish tradition, preserved in 1 En. 1:9 and alluded to in Jude 14, says that Enoch preached about the coming judgment. See F. S. Parnham, “Walking with God,” EvQ 46 (1974): 117-18.

4 tn Heb “and Enoch walked with God, after he became the father of Methuselah, [for] 300 years.”

5 tn The word “other” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied for stylistic reasons.

6 tn The word “other” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied for stylistic reasons.

7 tn The word “other” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied for stylistic reasons.
