The second Enoch in the Book of Jasher was a descendant of the first, and descended from Seth as well as from Cain. (Jasher 2:37)Sefer Ha-Yashar: Or, the Book of Jasher (1887), Salt Lake City: J. Parry & Co., p. 5 This Enoch was the father of Methuselah, and was reputed to be so wise that a hundred and thirty kings and princes "required of Enoch that he reign over them, to which he consented."(Jasher 3:9)Sefer Ha-Yashar: Or, the Book of Jasher (1887), Salt Lake City: J. Parry & Co., p. 6 The Harvard Book of Jasher relates that the year Adam died, Enoch decided to live apart from other people. He appeared once a week, then once a month, then once a year, teaching his subjects about the ways of God. When it came time for his ascension into Heaven, he did not die. 
A horse descended from Heaven, paced in the air, and for seven days Enoch rode the horse. On the seventh day, Enoch and the horse were taken up into heaven in a whirlwind, with other horses and chariots of fire.(Jasher 3:17-36)Sefer Ha-Yashar: Or, the Book of Jasher (1887), Salt Lake City: J. Parry & Co., pp 7-8 Enoch inherited the garments of skin that God had made for Adam and Eve when they were banished from Eden.
