Enosh

Also known as: Enos

Born: ~3800 BCE — scriptural
Died: ~2895 BCE (age 905) — scriptural, age 905

Grandson of Adam through Seth, during whose time formal worship began—“people began to call on the name of the LORD” (Genesis 4:26). His name means “mortal” or “frail,” reflecting humanity’s growing awareness of mortality after the Fall. Born when Seth was 105 years old, Enosh fathered Kenan at age 90 and lived 905 years. The establishment of calling upon God’s name during his era marks the beginning of organized worship, distinguishing the godly line of Seth from the line of Cain.
