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 ʼĕnôš "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" ʼĕnôš.[2]
