"Was Enoch the sixth or the seventh from Adam?" (Alleged Contradiction #E8872)
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints …
Jude 14
However, other passages seem to indicate that he is the sixth from Adam: Adam > Seth > Enos > Cainan > Mahalaleel > Jared > Enoch (see Genesis 5:3-18; I Chronicles 1:1-2; and Luke 3:37-38)
Response
Enoch is the seventh from Adam if you include Adam (inclusive numbering). If Adam and Eve made up the first generation, Enoch was in the seventh. There is no contradiction.
