²⁴ Enoch walked faithfully with God;^(A) then he was no more, because God took him away.^(B)

²¹ So Elisha left him and went back. He took his yoke of oxen^(A) and slaughtered them. He burned the plowing equipment to cook the meat and gave it to the people, and they ate. Then he set out to follow Elijah and became his servant.^(B)

⁵ By faith Enoch was taken from this life, so that he did not experience death: “He could not be found, because God had taken him away.”^[a](A) For before he was taken, he was commended as one who pleased God.
