SCRIPTURE

"and all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:" — Genesis 5:23 (ASV)

And all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty
five years .
] A year of years, living as many years as there are days in a year; not half the age of the rest of the patriarchs: our poet F20 calls him one of middle age; though his being taken away in the midst of his days was not a token of divine displeasure, but of favour, as follows; see (Psalms 55:23) .
