Enoch

• Enoch's father's name was Jared (who was 162 years old when Enoch was born)
• The Bible says Enoch "walked with God", he was in very close communion with the Lord.
• Enoch is noted for being the first human to be "translated" (taken directly to heaven without ever dying).
• He was the father of the man who lived the longest, Methuselah.

From Genesis:

5:18 And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:
5:19 And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
5:20 And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.
5:21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:
5:22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
5:23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:
5:24 And Enoch walked with God: and he [was] not; for God took him.
