Genesis 5:23

John Gill - Exposition - John Gill

Read in KJV Bible Reader

And all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty five years. A year of years, living as many years as there are days in a year; not half the age of the rest of the patriarchs: our poet (t) calls him one of middle age; though his being taken away in the midst of his days was not a token of divine displeasure, but of favour, as follows; see Psalms 55:23.

(t) Milton's Paradise Lost, B. 11. l. 665.
