Hanoch is mentioned in Gen.46.9, Exo.6.14, Num.26.5, and 1Ch.5.3 as one of the sons of Reuben, the firstborn son of Israel (or 'Jacob'). He is listed among the descendants of Reuben who went down to Egypt with Jacob during the time of Joseph (Gen.46.8-9). Hanoch's descendants formed the Hanochite clan within the tribe of Reuben (Num.26.5). The tribe of Reuben, along with the tribes of Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh, settled in the region east of the Jordan River after the Israelites conquered the land of Canaan (Num.32.1-5, 33-42). The mention of Hanoch in the genealogies of Reuben emphasizes the importance of family lineage and the organization of the Israelite tribes according to their ancestors.
