The Daily Ma’amar by our Rebbe Rav Eliezer Berland shlit”a, from Tuesday, 10 Sivan, courtesy of the “Hashem Hu HaElokim” leaflet:
It is written in “Asarah Ma’amarot” [Ma’amar HaNefesh Pt. 1, Ch. 2] “And [he called] his name 346 Enosh 357” = 703, for Enosh at the age of 703 decided to return in repentance, but he began at the age of 695 to worship idolatry. It comes out that he worshipped idolatry exactly 8 years, and this is alluded to in the words “Then (Az) = 8 to call in the Name of Hashem became profaned” (Bereishit 4:26) — that only eight years he worshipped idolatry.
For Shet was born to Adam HaRishon at the age of 130 (ibid. 5:3), and Enosh [was born] to Shet at the age of 105 (ibid. 6). It comes out that Enosh was the age of 695 at the time that Adam HaRishon died. And then he said that he had created Adam HaRishon, the sun, the moon, the stars, and the rest of the things that were created, the earth, heaven, and all the seas, and all the younger people believed him, and all the nations subjugated themselves to him, and everyone decided the same thing — that indeed Enosh is the one who created the heaven, the earth, and man and everything that belongs to him.
And even though Enosh had already returned in repentance at the age of 703, still this already did not help all the people who were drawn into their evil and corrupt way.
