The setting

The third patriarch. Ἑνώς (Enos) is the ordinary Hebrew word for “man” in its more vulnerable, mortal sense (as opposed to אָדָם, adam, humankind in general) — fittingly, later Jewish tradition remembers Enos’s own generation as the point when “men began to call upon the name of the Lord” (Gen 4:26), the beginning of public worship.
