ENOSH

(Heb. ʾĕnôš) (also ENOS) (Gk. Enos)

The son of Seth and grandson of Adam (Luke 3:38). According to Gen. 5:9-11 at the age of 90 Enosh sired a son Kenan and then lived an additional 815 years. During Enosh’s generation people began a new pattern of worship by invoking the name Yahweh (Gen. 4:26). This statement may imply a contrast with Gen. 4:17-24, but only if the line of Cain should indeed be interpreted as an example of wickedness.

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
