ENLARGE, ENLARGEMENT.— To 'enlarge' is to ' cause to be large ' that which is narrow or confined. It also sio;nifies ' to make larger ' that which may be considered large already, as Mt 23° ' they make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments' (/ieyaXww) , but the prefix en- ( = Lat. in) has properly a strong causative force, as in 'enable,' 'enfeeble,' 'enrich.' Hence arises the meaning of ' set at large,' 'liberate,' as in Sidney, Arcadia, (1622), 329, 'Like a Liones.se lately enlarged.' This is undoubtedly the meaning of enlargement initsonly occurrence Est 4''' ' For if thou altogether boldest thy peaceat this time, then shall there e. and deliverance arise to the Jews from another place ' (ni-i, AVm ' respira- tion,' RV ' relief '). Cf. Act 32, Henry viIl. c. 2, § 9 ( 1540), ' After his enlargement and commyng out of prison.' And that 'enlarge' is used in this sense in AV is evident, as Ps 4' 'thou hast en- larged me when I was in distress' (RV 'hast set me at large'); prob. also 2S •22" = Ps 18^" 'thou hast enlarged my steps under me.' So when applied to the heart, Ps llff" (n-rnn). Is 60» (an-;), 2 Co 6" (TrXarwu), the sen.se is first of all freedom, and then the joy that flows from it (cf. 2 Co G" n\aTvv<a, and 10* /iFyaXiVw), the opp. being 'to be straitened,' as in La l** (cf. Jer 4'» 'I am pained at my very heart,' lit., as RVm 'the walls of my heart 1 '), and 2 Co 6". J. HASTINGS.

ENOCH (^bq).— 1. The eldest son of Cain (Gn 4"- "). His father is said to have built a city and called it after his son's name. Its identity is quite uncertain (cf. DiUm. and Del. adloc, also Budde, Urqesch. 12011'.). 2. The son of Jared, and father of Methuselah, seventh in descent from Adam in the line of Seth. His life is described by the remarkable expres.sion, ' Enoch walked with God' (Gn 5**). Not less remarkable is the brief account given of his death. After 365 years ' ho was not, for God took him.' This is unde'

utood bj the wiiter to the Hebrews to mean, 'By faith Knoch was translated tliat he shouhl not see death ; and he was not found, because God trans- lated him' (He IP). In Jewish tradition many fabulous legends gathered around Enocli. He was represented as the inventor of letters, arithmetic, and astronomy, and as tlie first author. A book containing his visions and prophecies was said to have been preserved by Jsoali in the ark, and handed down through succes.sive generations. (See Ryie in Expos. Times, iii. (1892), 355, and E'irli/ Narratives of Genesis, p. 90 f.; and the next three articles.) R. M. Boyd.
ENOCH IN NT.— Enoch, the son of Jared (Gn S""), is mentioned in three passages of the NT ; traditional exegesis has found an allusion to him in a fourth.
1. In Lk 3" he has a place among the ancestors of our Lord.
2. In He 11' it is said that ' by faith Enoch was translated.' His faith is inferred (v.') from the LXX word einjpia-niffev (Gn 5-- ** ; this verb is used in translating the Heb. 'to walk with [before]' in Genesis II. cc. 6» 17' 24« 48", Ps 114», Sir 44'«, cf. Ps 2.">^ 34"). Nothing is added in He 11» to tlie record of Gen. I.e. (LXX), except the explanatory phrase toO ^tj ISeif Bdvarov. \\ ith tliis exposition in the Alexandrian Epistle to the Hebrews it is interesting to compare the allegorical interpreta- tion of PhUo de Ahr. §§ 3, 4. The name 'E^wx 's exjilained by him as meaning (lis hv 'EXXTj^-ts (Inoiev) xfxapicr/x^i'O! (i.e. -i:n is connected with i;n). The /ifrdffeffu is explained as vph rb pfKnov /ktojSoXt) ; the ovx rfvplaiKTo as signifying either that after repentance the old evU life is blotted out as though it had never been, or that the good man (6 dffTeios) uwoxwpet Kal fxbvuciv iyair^. Though in the original Hebrew of Sir 44'* Enoch is de- scribed as "an exanijile {lit. sign) of knowledge' (ef. aiireaiy ai'roO, Wis 4"), yet in the Greek and Old Latin (Cod. Am. 'ut det gentilms pa-niten- tiam '), as in PhUo, he is repre.sented as ' an ex- ample of repentance.' In Sir 49" {ifeX-fiiKpBri dTrA T^t yJif ; cf- Cod. Am. in 44" ' translatus est in
SaraJdiso') his translation is interpreted literally, osephus {Ant. I. iii. 4) uses an ambiguous classical plira.se, ' He went unto the Deity {anexupriJey irpis tA flfioi') ; hence neither is his death recorded.' For Jewish and Christian legends about Enoch, see the references in Schiirer, HJP II. i. 342, 11. iii. 70.
3. In Jude '* the description f/3J»^of iwA 'ASipi is taken from the Book of Enoch (60* 9:)'), and a passage from that book (!'• ') is quoted as a warn- ing actually uttered by the patriarch, dealing pro- phetically {iirpoip. Kal Toi>Tois) with the false teachers of the apostolic age.
