Genesis 5

¹This is the book (the written record, the history) of the generations of [the descendants of] Adam. When God created man, He made him in the likeness of God [not physical, but a spiritual personality and moral likeness].

²He created them male and female, and blessed them and named them[1] Mankind at the time they were created.

³When Adam had lived a hundred and thirty years, he[2] became the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth.

⁴After he became the father of Seth, Adam lived eight hundred years and had other sons and daughters.

⁵So Adam lived nine hundred and thirty years in all, and he died.

⁶When Seth was a hundred and five years old, he became the father of Enosh.

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

⁸So Seth lived nine hundred and twelve years, and he died.

⁹When Enosh was ninety years old, he became the father of Kenan.

¹⁰Enosh lived eight hundred and fifteen years after the birth of Kenan and had other sons and daughters.

¹¹So Enosh lived nine hundred and five years, and he died.

¹²When Kenan was seventy years old, he became the father of Mahalalel.

¹³Kenan lived eight hundred and forty years after the birth of Mahalalel and had other sons and daughters.

¹⁴So Kenan lived nine hundred and ten years, and he died.

¹⁵When Mahalalel was sixty-five years old, he became the father of Jared.

¹⁶Mahalalel lived eight hundred and thirty years after the birth of Jared and had other sons and daughters.

¹⁷So Mahalalel lived eight hundred and ninety-five years, and he died.

¹⁸When Jared was a hundred and sixty-two years old, he became the father of Enoch.

¹⁹Jared lived eight hundred years after the birth of Enoch and had other sons and daughters.

²⁰So Jared lived nine hundred and sixty-two years, and he died.

²¹When Enoch was sixty-five years old, he became the father of Methuselah.

²²Enoch walked [in habitual fellowship] with God three hundred years after the birth of Methuselah and had other sons and daughters.

²³So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.

²⁴And [in reverent fear and obedience] Enoch walked with God; and he was not [found among men], because God took him [away to be home with Him].

²⁵When Methuselah was a hundred and eighty-seven years old, he became the father of Lamech.

²⁷So Methuselah lived nine hundred and sixty-nine years, and he died.

²⁸When Lamech was a hundred and eighty-two years old, he became the father of a son.

²⁹He named him Noah, saying, "This one shall bring us rest and comfort from our work and from the [dreadful] toil of our hands because of the ground which the LORD cursed."

³⁰Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-five years after the birth of Noah and had other sons and daughters.

³¹So all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years, and he died.

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