Book of Genealogies
5 This is the Book of the Genealogies of Adam:
When God created Adam, in the likeness of God He made him. 2 Male and female He created them, and He blessed them and called their name “Adam” when He created them. 3 Adam lived 130 years, then fathered a son in his likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. 4 Then the days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years, and He fathered other sons and daughters. 5 So all Adam’s days that he lived were 930 years, and then he died.
6 Seth lived 105 years, then fathered Enosh. 7 Seth lived 807 years after he fathered Enosh, and he fathered sons and daughters. 8 So all Seth’s days were 912 years, and then he died.
9 Enosh lived 90 years, then fathered Kenan. 10 Enosh lived 815 years after he fathered Kenan, and he fathered sons and daughters. 11 So all of Enosh’s days were 905 years, and then he died.
12 Kenan lived 70 years, then fathered Mahalalel. 13 Kenan lived 840 years after he fathered Mahalalel, he fathered sons and daughters. 14 So all of Kenan’s days were 910 years, and then he died.
15 Mahalalel lived 65 years, then fathered Jared. 16 Mahalalel lived 830 years after he fathered Jared, and he fathered sons and daughters. 17 So all of Mahalalel’s days were 895 years, and then he died.
18 Jared lived 162 years, then fathered Enoch. 19 Jared lived 800 years after he fathered Enoch, and he fathered sons and daughters. 20 So all of Jared’s days were 962 years, and then he died.
21 Enoch lived 65 years, then fathered Methuselah.
22 Now Enoch walked with God continually for 300 years after he fathered Methuselah, and he fathered sons and daughters. 23 So all of Enoch’s days were 365 years.
24 And Enoch continually walked with God—then he was not there, because God took him.
25 Methuselah lived 187 years and fathered Lamech. 26 And Methuselah lived 782 years after he fathered Lamech, and he fathered other sons and daughters. 27 So all of Methuselah’s days were 969 years, and then he died.
28 Lamech lived 182 years and he fathered a son.
29 And he named him Noah saying, “This one will comfort us from our work and from the pain of our hands because of the ground which Adonai cursed.”
30 Lamech lived 595 years after he fathered Noah, and he fathered sons and daughters. 31 So all of Lamech’s days were 777 years, and then he died. 32 And Noah was 500 years old when he fathered Shem, Ham and Japheth.
