This Enoch is distinct from the Enoch who walked with God and was taken up to heaven (Genesis 5:24). This Enoch is a descendant of Cain, and his lineage is marked by a different path. The birth of "Irad" (עִירָד) suggests a continuation of Cain's line, with the name possibly meaning "fleet" or "wild donkey," indicating a life of independence or restlessness. This phrase sets the stage for the unfolding of a lineage that will diverge from the godly line of Seth, highlighting the consequences of Cain's actions and the persistence of sin through generations.
