Was not was all the Statement — Philology of Bible

This poem is based on Genesis 5:23-24, "And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him." Enoch sounds like ye noch, you exist not.

The key word is Philology. "Was Not" and "God took him" are not lexicons, says the poem, and Bible is a philological work.

"Was not" was all the Statement.¹
The Unpretension stuns－
Perhaps－the Comprehension－
They wore no Lexicons－

But lest our Speculation ⁵
In inanition die
Because "God took him" mention－
That was Philology－
