Enosh

Grandson of Adam through Seth. During his time, “people began to call on the name of the LORD”—marking the beginning of formal worship practices.

Born when Seth was 105 years old, Enosh lived during a pivotal spiritual transition in early human history. His name means “mortal” or “frail,” reflecting humanity’s awareness of its mortality after the Fall. The biblical notation that people began to call upon God’s name during his era suggests the establishment of public prayer and worship, distinguishing the godly line of Seth from the line of Cain. Enosh lived 905 years and fathered Kenan at age 90.
