The nominative form identifies the person in Hebrews 11:5, where the APB renders that he was “transported so that he would not see death,” and in Jude 1:14, where it introduces the figure who “prophesied.” The genitive form in Luke 3:37 marks him within the sequence “the son of Methuselah, the son of Enoch.”
In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB presents the name as “Enoch” in all three verses: as the person transported in Hebrews 11:5, the one who prophesied in Jude 1:14, and Methuselah's ancestor in Luke 3:37. These renderings are read alongside the supplied forms and morphology.
