Ellicott's Commentary
Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(18) Jared.--Heb., Yered. This name is supposed to mean the descent, especially of water. Hence many have endeavoured to show that he is the Indian water-god Varuna; but competent modern commentators regard all such Aryan expositions as exploded. Mr. Sayce tells us that the word in Assyrian means servant (Chald. Gen. 311), but this is not quite satisfactory. Until, however, this very ancient Semitic dialect is thoroughly explored, we are scarcely in a position to speak with certainty as to these old names.Further, he was 162 years of age when he begat Enoch. It is probable from this that Enoch was not the eldest son, but that the birthright became his because of his special excellencies. It is also to be observed that Enoch holds the seventh place from Adam, seven being the number of perfection; that he attains to the highest rank among the patriarchs; and that he passes over into immortality without death.Parallel Commentaries ...HebrewWhen Jaredיֶ֕רֶד (ye·reḏ)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 3382: Jared -- a descendant of Seth, also a man of Judahwasוַֽיְחִי־ (way·ḥî-)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Qal - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 2421: To live, to revive162וּמְאַ֣ת (ū·mə·’aṯ)Conjunctive waw | Number - feminine singular constructStrong's 3967: A hundredyears old,שָׁנָ֑ה (šā·nāh)Noun - feminine singularStrong's 8141: A yearhe became the father ofוַיּ֖וֹלֶד (way·yō·w·leḏ)Conjunctive waw | Verb - Hifil - Consecutive imperfect - third person masculine singularStrong's 3205: To bear young, to beget, medically, to act as midwife, to show lineageEnoch.חֲנֽוֹךְ׃ (ḥă·nō·wḵ)Noun - proper - masculine singularStrong's 2585: Enoch -- four Israelites, sons of Cain, Jered, Midian and ReubenJump to PreviousBegat Begetteth Begot Enoch Hundred Jared Sixty Sixty-Two
