Jared is noted as the father of Enoch and is part of the lineage from Adam to Noah. The name is often understood to mean "descent" or "shall come down." Cultural and Historical Background: In the biblical genealogies, names often carry significant meanings and reflect the character or destiny of the individual. Jared is part of the antediluvian (pre-flood) patriarchs, a group of long-lived figures whose lives span several centuries. This period is characterized by a growing population and increasing wickedness, leading up to the flood narrative. Jared's son, Enoch, is particularly notable for "walking with God" and being taken up to heaven without experiencing death.
