The Book of Jasher 11

¹🔗nd they assembled in all, one hundred and thirty kings and princes, and they made Enoch king over them and they were all under his power and command. 1 1 . And Enoch taught them wisdom, knowledge, and the ways of the Lord; and he made peace amongst them, and peace was throughout the earth during the life of Enoch.

²🔗 And Enoch reigned over the sons of men two hundred and forty-three years, and he did justice and righteousness with all his people, and he led them in the ways of the Lord.

³🔗 And these are the generations of Enoch, Methuselah, Elisha, and Elimelech, three sons; and their sisters were Melca and Nahmah, and Methuselah lived eighty-seven years and he begat Lamech.

⁴🔗 And it was in the fifty-sixth year of the life of Lamech when Adam died; nine hundred and thirty years old was he at his death, and his two sons, with Enoch and Methuselah his son, buried him with great pomp, as at the burial of kings, in the cave which God had told him.

⁵🔗 And in that place all the sons of men made a great mourning and weeping on account of Adam; it has therefore become a custom among the sons of men to this day.

⁶🔗 And Adam died because he ate of the tree of knowledge; he and his children after him, as the Lord God had spoken.

⁷🔗 And it was in the year of Adam's death which was the two hundred and forty-third year of the reign of Enoch, in that time Enoch resolved to separate himself from the sons of men and to secret himself as at first in order to serve the Lord.

⁸🔗 And Enoch did so, but did not entirely secret himself from them, but kept away from the sons of men three days and then went to them for one day. 19.
