After he had become the father of Enoch
The phrase highlights the significant event of Jared becoming a father to Enoch. In Hebrew, the name "Enoch" (חֲנוֹךְ, Chanokh) means "dedicated" or "initiated." Enoch is a pivotal figure in biblical history, known for his close walk with God. This phrase sets the stage for the introduction of Enoch, who is later described as having "walked with God" (Genesis 5:24). The act of fathering Enoch signifies a continuation of the godly lineage from Adam, emphasizing the importance of family and generational faithfulness in God's plan.

Jared lived 800 years
The longevity of Jared's life, living 800 years after the birth of Enoch, reflects the antediluvian (pre-Flood) era's extended lifespans. This remarkable longevity is a testament to the vitality and robustness of early human life, as ordained by God. It also underscores the patience and long-suffering nature of God, allowing ample time for humanity to fulfill its purpose. The extended years provided opportunities for teaching, learning, and spiritual growth, emphasizing the value of time in God's creation.

and had other sons and daughters
This phrase indicates that Jared's family was not limited to Enoch alone but included other sons and daughters. The Hebrew word for "sons" (בָּנִים, banim) and "daughters" (בָּנוֹת, banot) suggests a continuation of the human race and the fulfillment of God's command to "be fruitful and multiply" (Genesis 1:28). The mention of other children highlights the communal and familial aspects of early human society, where family units were central to social and spiritual life. It also points to the spread of humanity across the earth, fulfilling God's design for human dominion and stewardship over creation.
