Significance: The Chronicler draws from the Enoch-through-Lamech section of Genesis 5, where two figures stand out: Enoch, who "walked with God" (הִתְהַלֶּךְ, hithallek) and was taken, and Lamech, who named Noah prophetically as one who would bring "comfort" (נחם, nacham) from the curse. By listing these names without comment, the Chronicler assumes his audience knows the Genesis narrative and can supply the theological weight—faithful Enoch and hopeful Lamech—behind the bare genealogical record.
