Strong's Lexicon Chanok: Enoch Original Word: חֲנוֹךְ Word Origin: Derived from the root חָנַךְ (chanak), meaning "to dedicate" or "to initiate." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - G1802 (Ἑνώχ, Henoch): The Greek form of Enoch, used in the New Testament references to Enoch. Usage: The name "Chanok" or "Enoch" is used in the Hebrew Bible to refer to several individuals, most notably the son of Jared and the father of Methuselah. Enoch is recognized for his unique relationship with God, as he "walked with God" and was taken by God, implying he did not experience death in the traditional sense (Genesis 5:24). Cultural and Historical Background: In the ancient Near Eastern context, names often held significant meaning and were reflective of one's character or destiny. The name Enoch, meaning "dedicated" or "initiated," suggests a life set apart for a special purpose. Enoch's life is briefly mentioned in the genealogies of Genesis, yet his legacy is profound, symbolizing a life of faith and intimacy with God. The cultural backdrop of Enoch's time was one of increasing wickedness, leading up to the judgment of the Flood, making his righteous walk with God even more noteworthy.
