Genesis 5 · Grade 4
Enoch: A Man Who Walked with God
Read and Think
At first Genesis 5 may seem like a list of hard names. But it is important. It shows how God kept the family line going from Adam, through Seth, all the way to Noah. God had promised that the woman's offspring would defeat the serpent, and this list tracks that promised family.
The list follows a pattern: a man lived, had sons and daughters, and died. The phrase then he died sounds like a drumbeat, reminding us that sin brought death, just as God said.
Then comes Enoch. Instead of then he died, we read that Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him. Enoch lived in close friendship with God, trusting and obeying Him. Hebrews 11:5 says Enoch pleased God by faith.
