5
By faith Enoch was taken away, so that he wouldn’t see death, and he was not found, because God translated him. For he has had testimony given to him that before his translation he had been well pleasing to God.

ExplanationCommentary
Verse 5. Henoch was translated, so as not to die nor see death. In Ecclesiasticus (Calmet. 44) he is said to be translated into paradise. By these words, that he should not see death, it is the general exposition of the ancient interpreters, that he is not dead; but in what place, or in what manner God preserveth him, we know not. See Saint Augustine l. de pec. orig. c. xxiii. Saint John Chrysostom and so forth Witham.
