But Azor was filled with mischief continually, and when he was 110 years of age he became the father of Eleazar, and after he begat Eleazar, Azor lived 340 years and he died.
But Eleazar walked uprightly before God always, and when he was 180 years of age he became the father of Zanosh, and again when Eleazar was 210 years of age, his wife gave birth to the daughter whom they called Maciah, even she who became the most high priestess of God. And when he was old, Eleazar died, having lived 640 years.
Summary: Son of Azor, Eleazar was a ninth-generation descendant of Enoch and Larisha (B:20:12). With his wife Mishka, Eleazar was father to at least two children: Zanosh and Maciah. According to Azrael’s Commentary, Eleazar and Mishka were appointed as the High Priest and Priestess of the last remaining remnants of the Adamic Family. Their daughter, Maciah, also held the position of High Priestess (AZC — Maciah).
