| Lehite PN | 1. | Scribe, son of JACOB, and father of JAROM, between 544-420 B.C. (Jacob 7:27; Enos 1:1, 5, 6, 11, 17, 19; Jarom 1:1) |
Etymology
KJV Enos = HEBREW ʾĕnôš "Man"[1] (Genesis 4:26, 5:6-11) = KJV Enosh (1 Chronicles 1:1). Matt Bowen argues for wordplay at the introduction of ENOS as son of a just "man" ʾĕnôš.[2]
