Only two people did not die , they were Elijah and Esau.

Different Answer:

If one reads the entire Bible, cover to cover, one will discover that every human who lived eventually died, one way or another.

Some people believe that Elijah did not die, but The Bible does not state that.

At 2 Kings 2:11, 12 the prophet Elijah is described as "ascending in the windstorm to the heavens." The heavens here referred to are the atmospheric heavens in which windstorms occur, not the spiritual heavens of God's presence. Elijah did not die at the time of such ascension, but he continued to live for a number of years after his heavenly transportation away from his successor Elisha. Nor did Elijah upon death ascend to the spiritual heavens, since Jesus, while on earth, clearly stated that "no man has ascended into heaven." (John 3:13)

A number of years after his ascension in the windstorm Elijah is still alive and active as a prophet, this time to the king of Judah. Because of the wicked course taken by King Jehoram of Judah, Elijah writes him a letter expressing Jehovah's condemnation, which is fulfilled shortly thereafter. - 2 Chronicles 21:12-15.

Another man that many believe did not die was Enoch. However, again the Bible does not say he did did not die. It says in Genesis 5:24 "And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him."

In what way did God take him? The answer is found in Hebrews: 11:5 "By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God."

So it says "he did not SEE death." In other words, his life was eneded, and he entered into a dead state from which he will be resurrected without having been aware of dying.

Why can I say this for a fact? Because the Bible clearly says that bhe did in fact die. After the above quote in Hebrews 11:5, it talks about a few others, then it concludes with this statement:

"These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth." (Hebrews 11:13) "These ALL DIED in faith ..."
