Bible Note: WordFocus: "walked" ********************** Genesis 5:24 "And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him." "walked" "(Heb. halak) (5:24; 6:9; Deut. 13:4; Ps. 128:1; Mic. 6:8) Strong's #1980: The basic meaning of the Hebrew verb translated here as walk is "to go" or "to travel." The word is used often in the Old Testament to signify merely a simple act of motion (13:17; 2 Sam. 11:2). In 6:9 and other passages, the word has connotations of a habitual manner of life or a constant relationship with God. Thus the word describes Noah, Enoch, and other people of faith as living in a close relationship with their God and in obedience to His commands. Throughout Scripture, believers are called to walk with God daily, abiding in Him completely (Gal. 5:16; 1 John 2:6)." "..he was not: This phrase does not mean that Enoch ceased to exist; instead it means that he was taken into God's presence, for God took him. Only Enoch and Elijah (see 2 Kings 2:11) ever had this experience. Enoch's remarkable experience was both a testimony of his deep faith in God (see Heb. 11:5,6) and a strong reminder at the beginning of biblical history that there is life in God's presence after death for the people of God. What Enoch experienced in a remarkable, dramatic fashion is what each person who "walks with God" will experience- everlasting life with the Savior."
