וּלְשֵׁ֤ת גַּם־הוּא֙ יֻלַּד־בֵּ֔ן וַיִּקְרָ֥א אֶת־שְׁמ֖וֹ אֱנ֑וֹשׁ אָ֣ז הוּחַ֔ל לִקְרֹ֖א בְּשֵׁ֥ם יְהוָֽה׃ (פ)
A Seth, lui aussi, il naquit un fils; il lui donna pour nom Énos. Alors on commença d’invoquer le nom de l’Éternel.
The Midrash of Philo
Why Enos, the son of Seth, hoped to call upon the name of the Lord God? (Genesis 4:26).
That the Worse is wont to Attack the Better
[138] Having shown, then, as far as in us lay, citing in the person of Moses a most truthful witness, that joy is peculiar to the wise man, let us show in the next place that hope is so also, calling in the same witness as before. For the son of Seth named Enos, which means “man” [was distinguished by] hope. “This man,” it says, “first hoped to call on the name of the Lord God” (Gen. 4:26). It is a sound statement. For what could be found more in keeping with one who is truly a man than a hope and expectation of obtaining good things from the only bountiful God? This is, to tell the truth, men’s only birth in the strict sense, since those who do not set their hope on God have no part in a rational nature.
