So Enoch lived
Enoch is a significant figure in biblical history, known for his close relationship with God. His life is marked by a unique departure from the earth, as he did not experience death in the traditional sense. This phrase introduces the conclusion of Enoch's earthly life, emphasizing the totality of his years. Enoch's life is a precursor to the concept of eternal life and walking with God, which is later fulfilled in the New Testament through Jesus Christ.

a total of
The phrase "a total of" indicates the summation of Enoch's lifespan. In the genealogies of Genesis, the ages of the patriarchs are often highlighted to show the longevity of life before the Flood. This totality also serves to contrast Enoch's life with others in the genealogy, as his life is notably shorter, yet more spiritually significant.

365 years.
The number 365 is symbolic, corresponding to the number of days in a solar year. This may suggest completeness or fullness in Enoch's life, despite its relative brevity compared to his ancestors and descendants. Enoch's 365 years can be seen as a metaphor for a complete and fulfilled life in God's presence. His life and subsequent translation to heaven prefigure the eternal life promised to believers, as seen in Hebrews 11:5 and Jude 1:14-15. Enoch's life is a type of Christ, who also walked in perfect fellowship with God and offers eternal life to His followers.
