Rick's thoughts:
While this might seem like a boring chapter with no action, there are still some interesting hightlights. First, the people
lived to extraordinary ages and it seemed like they first had children at what we would say is an old age. Enoch is one of
only two people who did not die. (Elijah was the other) In earlier times keeping track of where you came from was very
important. You might ask your parents or grandparents if they have information regarding your ancestors. This is referred
to as you geneology (or family tree.)
