Footnote 2 – The Strange Visions of Enoch

In the Kings James Version (KJV), we are told in Hebrews 11:5, “By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.” This same verse is rendered as follows in the Revised Standard Version (RSV): “By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death; and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was attested as having pleased God.”
