The King James Bible uses the name of a person and/or place in Enoch's time called Mehujael.

<blockquote>And unto Enoch was born Irad: and Irad begat Mehujael: and Mehujael begat Methusael: and Methusael begat Lamech. {{s||Genesis|4|18}}</blockquote>

This is essentially the same name as Mahujah in the Book of Moses because Hebrew does not use vowels. Also, Mehuja-el ends in el. Mahu-jah ends in jah, but both of these suffixes are common ways of associating a name with God in Hebrew.<ref>https://thirdhour.org/blog/faith/scripture/joseph-moses-enoch-mahujah/</ref> And in both the Bible and the Book of Moses, the name is in connection with Enoch.

<blockquote>And there came a man unto him, whose name was Mahijah, and said unto him: Tell us plainly who thou art, and from whence thou comest? {{s||Moses|6|40}} </blockquote>

It also contains a variation on the name, Mahujah:

<blockquote>And from that time forth Enoch began to prophesy, saying unto the people, that: As I was journeying, and stood upon the place Mahujah, and cried unto the Lord, there came a voice out of heaven, saying—Turn ye, and get ye upon the mount Simeon. {{s||Moses|7|2}}</blockquote>

The amazing part is, <b>the Masoretic text of the Bible contains both Mahujah and Mahijah</b>. The Masoretic text of the Bible did not come about until much later, Joseph Smith could not have known.
