520. Genesis 5:23-24. And all Enoch's days were three hundred sixty-five years. And Enoch walked with God and was no more, because God took him.

All Enoch's days were 365 years means that they were few. He walked with God means the doctrine concerning faith, as before [§518]. He was no more, because God took him, means that this doctrine was preserved for use by future generations.
