Genesis 5:21-24

5:21-22

וַֽיְחִ֣י חֲנֹ֔וךְ   חָמֵ֥שׁ וְשִׁשִּׁ֖ים  שָׁנָ֑ה

And Enoch (train up, dedicate) lived sixty five years;

וַיֹּ֖ולֶד   אֶת־מְתוּשָֽׁלַח׃

And he begat MetuShelach (a man who is branchlet);

וַיִּתְהַלֵּ֨ךְ חֲנֹ֜וךְ   אֶת־הָֽאֱלֹהִ֗ים

And Enoch went about with The True God,

אַֽחֲרֵי֙   הֹולִידֹ֣ו   אֶת־מְתוּשֶׁ֔לַח
שְׁלֹ֥שׁ מֵאֹ֖ות   שָׁנָ֑ה

after his begetting MetuShelach,
three hundred years:

וַיֹּ֥ולֶד בָּנִ֖ים  וּבָנֹֽות׃

And he begat sons and daughters;

5:23-24

וַיְהִ֖י  כָּל־יְמֵ֣י חֲנֹ֑וךְ

So all the days of Enoch were

חָמֵ֤שׁ וְשִׁשִּׁים֙   שָׁנָ֔ה
וּשְׁלֹ֥שׁ מֵאֹ֖ות  שָׁנָֽה׃

three hundred and sixty five years;

וַיִּתְהַלֵּ֥ךְ חֲנֹ֖וךְ   אֶת־הָֽאֱלֹהִ֑ים

And Enoch went about with The True God;

וְאֵינֶ֕נּוּ   כִּֽי־לָקַ֥ח אֹתֹ֖ו   אֱלֹהִֽים׃פ
Then he was not, for God had taken him away.
