Enosh Enosh

Enosh is the son of Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve.

Enosh is one of a few words to indicate man or mankind and it is rooted in the word anash ('nsh 135, 136, 137):

anash (anash 135) means desperate, woeful, very sick (TWOTOT , "most frequently it is used to describe a wound or pain which is incurable..." This may shed some light on the enigmatic Beast From The Sea and the fatal wound of which it was healed - Rev 13:3; if not the healing caused by the Christ - Matt 8:17/ Isa 53:4).
anash ('nsh 136) is the root of Enosh (enosh 136a) meaning man or mankind in its frailty and weakness.
anash ('nsh 137) is the assumed root of ishsha ('ishsha 137a), wife, woman, female.

The name Enosh means Man Frail And Miserable (Jones) or Mortal (NOBSE).

Other names that have to do with words for man are: Adam (Earthling), Gabriel (God's Guy), Methushael (Man Of God), and Zecheriah (YHWH's Male) and Ishi (My Man).
