The Bible's Epistle of Jude quotes not just one verse from the Book of Enoch but two - from the beginning and again from the middle. The first is quoting Enoch the prophet himself writing by the Holy Spirit. This is chapter 1 verse 9. The second quote in the same verses of Jude is a quoting Noah (Noah's Flood Noah) who contributed part of the texts combined together in what is called the Book of Enoch. This is from chapter 60 verse 8 (in R H Charles' chapter/verse numbering) which states that Enoch was seventh from Adam. It reads "But the male is named Behemoth, who occupied with his breast a waste wilderness named Dûidâin, on the east of the garden where the elect and righteous dwell, where my grandfather was taken up, the seventh from Adam, the first man whom the Lord of Spirits created." This "seventh from Adam" is supported by modern archaeology which found the Sumerian King List regarding kings of the first civilisation Sumer before the Flood which states that Adam (it calls him Alulim) was first king and was created by God having no earthly parents and that Enoch (called Enmenduranki or Enmendurana) was seventh king after Adam. Seventh from Adam. Noah's writing might also have been referring to Enoch being seventh generation after Adam, as later genealogies show.
