Genesis 5:24 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

i.e. He appeared not any longer upon earth, or amongst mortal men. The same phrase is in Genesis 42:36 Jeremiah 31:15. For God took him out of this sinful and miserable world unto himself, and to his heavenly habitation: see Luke 23:43. And he took either his soul, of which alone this phrase is used, Ezekiel 24:16; or rather both soul and body, as he took Elias, 2 Kings 2:11, because he so took him that he did not see death, Hebrews 11:5.
