I am reading in Genesis 5 the long list of genealogy from Adam to Noah and to be honest I am ready to skip over it. I choose to plug along and come to verses 22 and 24 and I stop. It says that Enoch walked with God. These questions prompted me to further study:
- What does it mean when it says that Enoch walked with God?
- Did he physically walk with God?
- Why did this author include this?
- What was so special about walking with God that caused Him to take him away?
- Why is there not more said about Enoch? You'd think that if walking with God was so important then wouldn't there be more said of this?
What I know is that the verb is hitpael, imperfect and a preliminary definition with this in mind and in this context is to walk constantly with God. I am going to park here for a little bit. I'd love your thoughts, too.
Blessings,
John
