Enoch ( Hebrew: ; Tiberian: , Standard: ) is a name occurring twice in the generations of Adam. In one, he is described as having had a city named after him, but it is the other occurrence for which the name is famous. Despite the fame, the second mention of the name merely says that Enoch walked with God, and was not, for God took him, that he lived 365 years, and was an ancestor of Noah. There are no other known mentions of the character in the entire tanakh. Despite the brief description, its highly esoteric nature lead Enoch to be one of the main two focal points for much of first millennium BC jewish mysticism. In Islam, he is usually referred to as Idris (إدريس), and regarded as a prophet, and the grandfather of Noah (referred to as Nuh-نوح). ...more on Wikipedia about "Enoch, ancestor of Noah"

Shasu is an Egyptian term for nomads who appeared in the Levant from the 15th Century BC all the way to the Third Intermediate Period. The name evolved from a transliteration of the Egyptian word š3sw, meaning "moving on foot", into the term for Bedouin-type wanderers. The term first originated in a 15th Century list of peoples in the Transjordan, with one of the Shasu described as "Yhw in the land of the Shasu". Thus, a scholar- Donald Redford- implies that from this evidence the people that would eventually be the "Israel" recorded on the Merneptah Stele (widely known as the Israel Stele) and later form the Kingdom of Israel were originally a Shasu tribe. As a result of this, some have used Redford's work to verify the Exodus, but since no extra-Biblical data exists regarding an Exodus at all, this link remains sketchy. However, Redford's work does shine new possibilities regarding the origins of Israel in history. ...more on Wikipedia about "Shasu"
