When Jared was 162 years old
The name "Jared" is derived from the Hebrew root "יָרַד" (yarad), meaning "to descend" or "to come down." This could symbolize the descent of humanity into a more complex and populated world, as the generations progress. Jared's age, 162 years, reflects the long lifespans typical of the antediluvian patriarchs, which some conservative scholars interpret as a literal historical account, while others see it as symbolic of the purity and vitality of early humanity before the corruption of sin took its full toll. The longevity of these patriarchs serves as a testament to God's original design for human life, unmarred by the full effects of the Fall.

he became the father of Enoch
The phrase "became the father of" is significant in the genealogical records of Genesis, emphasizing the continuity of God's plan through successive generations. Enoch, whose name means "dedicated" or "initiated" in Hebrew, is a pivotal figure in biblical history. He represents a line of faithfulness amidst a world increasingly marred by sin. Enoch's life, as later described in Genesis 5:24, is marked by his close walk with God, setting a precedent for spiritual intimacy and righteousness. This phrase not only marks a biological succession but also a spiritual legacy, highlighting the importance of passing down faith and devotion to God through family lines.

(18) Jared.--Heb., Yered. This name is supposed to mean the descent, especially of water. Hence many have endeavoured to show that he is the Indian water-god Varuna; but competent modern commentators regard all such Aryan expositions as exploded. Mr. Sayce tells us that the word in Assyrian means servant (Chald. Gen. 311), but this is not quite satisfactory. Until, however, this very ancient Semitic dialect is thoroughly explored, we are scarcely in a position to speak with certainty as to these old names.

Further, he was 162 years of age when he begat Enoch. It is probable from this that Enoch was not the eldest son, but that the birthright became his because of his special excellencies. It is also to be observed that Enoch holds the seventh place from Adam, seven being the number of perfection; that he attains to the highest rank among the patriarchs; and that he passes over into immortality without death.
