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.
Now Zanosh was 310 years old when he begat Eliakim, and after Eliakim, Zanosh lived but 70 years and he died.

Summary: (c. 8,300 BCE) Zanosh was the son of Eleazar and Mishka, who served as the High Priest and Priestess of the last remaining remnants of the Adaam. Zanosh lived 380 years, and had a son named Eliakim (B:20:13-14). Zanosh had a younger sister named Maciah, who also became a High Priestess like her mother. According to the Commentary, Maciah has been the only woman to be translated as a result of her great holiness before God (AZC — Maciah; para. 4).
