This is very interesting scholarship.
Interestingly the JST OT Manuscript,Revision 2 replaces the KJV text: "Genesis 5;22-24 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters; 23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years; 24 And Enoch walked with God; and he was not; for God took him."
Joseph replaced that reading with the text: "Genesis 5:28 And Enoch and all his people walked with God, And he dwelt in the midst of Zion. And it came to pass, that Zion was not, for God received it up into his own bosom; and from thence went forth the saying, Zion is fled."
This reflects a significantly differing view from existing ancient artifacts. It also is reflected in the Book of Moses in this manner as well, as mentioned in the article.
