¹ This is the book of the lineage of Adam. In the day that God created man, he made him to the likeness of God.¹

1. 5:1Notice that generation is singular; this is because the word ‘generation’ in this context refers to lineage, not to each successive generation.(Conte)

1. 5:24Enoch is considered to be one of the two prophets of Revelation 11, the other being Elijah, because both Enoch and Elijah did not die during their lifetime on earth, but were taken by God. The two prophets of Revelation 11 die at the end of their 1260 days of prophesying.(Conte)
