Adam's Descendants to Noah

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

28 When Lamech had lived for 182 years, he fathered a son 29 and called his name Noah, saying, “Out of the ground (J)that the Lord has cursed this one shall bring us relief[d] from our work and from the painful toil of our hands.” 30 Lamech lived after he fathered Noah for 595 years and had other sons and daughters. 31 Thus all the days of Lamech were 777 years, and he died.

32 After Noah was 500 years old, Noah fathered (K)Shem, Ham, and (L)Japheth.
