Genesis 5

1This is the written account of Adam’s descendants. On the day 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 on the day they were created.

3When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth.

4After Adam fathered Seth, he lived eight hundred years, and he fathered sons and daughters.

5So all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and then he died.

6When Seth had lived 105 years, he fathered Enosh.

7After Seth fathered Enosh, he lived 807 years, and he fathered sons and daughters.

8So all the days of Seth were 912 years, and then he died.

9When Enosh had lived ninety years, he fathered Kenan.

10After Enosh fathered Kenan, he lived 815 years, and he fathered sons and daughters.

11So all the days of Enosh were 905 years, and then he died.

12When Kenan had lived seventy years, he fathered Mahalalel.

13After Kenan fathered Mahalalel, he lived 840 years, and he fathered sons and daughters.

14So all the days of Kenan were 910 years, and then he died.

15When Mahalalel had lived sixty-five years, he fathered Jared.

16After Mahalalel fathered Jared, he lived 830 years, and he fathered sons and daughters.

17So all the days of Mahalalel were 895 years, and then he died.

18When Jared had lived 162 years, he fathered Enoch.

19After Jared fathered Enoch, he lived eight hundred years, and he fathered sons and daughters.

20So all the days of Jared were 962 years, and then he died.

21When Enoch had lived sixty-five years, he fathered Methuselah.

22After he fathered Methuselah, Enoch walked with God three hundred years, and he fathered sons and daughters.

23So all the days of Enoch were 365 years.

24Enoch walked with God, and then he was no more, because God took him.

25When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he fathered Lamech.

26After Methuselah fathered Lamech, he lived 782 years, and he fathered sons and daughters.

27So all the days of Methuselah were 969 years, and then he died.

28When Lamech had lived 182 years, he fathered a son.

29He named him Noah, saying, “This one will give us relief from our work and from the painful toil of our hands, because of the ground that Yahweh has cursed.”

30After Lamech fathered Noah, he lived 595 years, and he fathered sons and daughters.

31So all the days of Lamech were 777 years, and then he died.

32When Noah was five hundred years old, he fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
