Genesis 5

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 a hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. ⁴The days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years; and he had other sons and daughters. ⁵Thus all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.

⁶When Seth had lived a hundred and five years, he became the father of Enosh. ⁷Seth lived after the birth of Enosh eight hundred and seven years, and had other sons and daughters. ⁸Thus all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died.

⁹When Enosh had lived ninety years, he became the father of Kenan. ¹⁰Enosh lived after the birth of Kenan eight hundred and fifteen years, and had other sons and daughters. ¹¹Thus all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years; and he died.

¹²When Kenan had lived seventy years, he became the father of Ma-halʹalel. ¹³Kenan lived after the birth of Ma-halʹalel eight hundred and forty years, and had other sons and daughters. ¹⁴Thus all the days of Kenan were nine hundred and ten years; and he died.

¹⁵When Ma-halʹalel had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Jared. ¹⁶Ma-halʹalel lived after the birth of Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and had other sons and daughters. ¹⁷Thus all the days of Ma-halʹalel were eight hundred and ninety-five years; and he died.

¹⁸When Jared had lived a hundred and sixty-two years he became the father of Enoch. ¹⁹Jared lived after the birth of Enoch eight hundred years, and had other sons and daughters. ²⁰Thus all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years; and he died.

²¹When Enoch had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Methuʹselah. ²²Enoch walked with God after the birth of Methuʹselah three hundred years, and had other sons and daughters. ²³Thus all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. ²⁴Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.

²⁵When Methuʹselah had lived a hundred and eighty-seven years, he became the father of Lamech. ²⁶Methuʹselah lived after the birth of Lamech seven hundred and eighty-two years, and had other sons and daughters. ²⁷Thus all the days of Methuʹselah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years; and he died.

²⁸When Lamech had lived a hundred and eighty-two years, he became the father of a son, ²⁹and called his name Noah, saying, “Out of the ground which the Lord has cursed this one shall bring us relief from our work and from the toil of our hands.” ³⁰Lamech lived after the birth of Noah five hundred and ninety-five years, and had other sons and daughters. ³¹Thus all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years; and he died.

³²After Noah was five hundred years old, Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
