Genesis 5

Adam's Descendants to Noah

¹This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God.²Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created.³When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth.⁴The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters.⁵Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died.

⁶When Seth had lived 105 years, he fathered Enosh.⁷Seth lived after he fathered Enosh 807 years and had other sons and daughters.⁸Thus all the days of Seth were 912 years, and he died.

⁹When Enosh had lived 90 years, he fathered Kenan.¹⁰Enosh lived after he fathered Kenan 815 years and had other sons and daughters.¹¹Thus all the days of Enosh were 905 years, and he died.

¹²When Kenan had lived 70 years, he fathered Mahalalel.¹³Kenan lived after he fathered Mahalalel 840 years and had other sons and daughters.¹⁴Thus all the days of Kenan were 910 years, and he died.

¹⁵When Mahalalel had lived 65 years, he fathered Jared.¹⁶Mahalalel lived after he fathered Jared 830 years and had other sons and daughters.¹⁷Thus all the days of Mahalalel were 895 years, and he died.

¹⁸When Jared had lived 162 years, he fathered Enoch.¹⁹Jared lived after he fathered Enoch 800 years and had other sons and daughters.²⁰Thus all the days of Jared were 962 years, and he died.

²¹When Enoch had lived 65 years, he fathered Methuselah.²²Enoch walked with God after he fathered Methuselah 300 years and had other sons and daughters.²³Thus all the days of Enoch were 365 years.²⁴Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.

²⁵When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he fathered Lamech.²⁶Methuselah lived after he fathered Lamech 782 years and had other sons and daughters.²⁷Thus all the days of Methuselah were 969 years, and he died.

²⁸When Lamech had lived 182 years, he fathered a son²⁹and called his name Noah, saying, “Out of the ground that the Lord has cursed, this one shall bring us relief from our work and from the painful toil of our hands.”³⁰Lamech lived after he fathered Noah 595 years and had other sons and daughters.³¹Thus all the days of Lamech were 777 years, and he died.

³²After Noah was 500 years old, Noah fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
