Genesis 5

Descendants of Adam

1This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God.

2He created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them Man in the day when they were created.

3When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth.

4Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters.

5So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died.

6Seth lived one hundred and five years, and became the father of Enosh.

7Then Seth lived eight hundred and seven years after he became the father of Enosh, and he had other sons and daughters.

8So all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years, and he died.

9Enosh lived ninety years, and became the father of Kenan.

10Then Enosh lived eight hundred and fifteen years after he became the father of Kenan, and he had other sons and daughters.

11So all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years, and he died.

12Kenan lived seventy years, and became the father of Mahalalel.

13Then Kenan lived eight hundred and forty years after he became the father of Mahalalel, and he had other sons and daughters.

14So all the days of Kenan were nine hundred and ten years, and he died.

15Mahalalel lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Jared.

16Then Mahalalel lived eight hundred and thirty years after he became the father of Jared, and he had other sons and daughters.

17So all the days of Mahalalel were eight hundred and ninety-five years, and he died.

18Jared lived one hundred and sixty-two years, and became the father of Enoch.

19Then Jared lived eight hundred years after he became the father of Enoch, and he had other sons and daughters.

20So all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years, and he died.

21Enoch lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Methuselah.

22Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters.

25Methuselah lived one hundred and eighty-seven years, and became the father of Lamech.

26Then Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years after he became the father of Lamech, and he had other sons and daughters.

27So all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years, and he died.

28Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years, and became the father of a son.

29Now he called his name Noah, saying, “This one will give us rest from our work and from the toil of our hands arising from the ground which the Lord has cursed.”
