25 Adam made love to his wife(A) again, and she gave birth to a son and named him Seth,[a](B) saying, “God has granted me another child in place of Abel, since Cain killed him.”(C) 26 Seth also had a son, and he named him Enosh.(D)

At that time people began to call on[b] the name of the Lord.(E)

From Adam to Noah

This is the written account(F) of Adam’s family line.(G)

When God created mankind, he made them in the likeness of God.(H) He created them(I) male and female(J) and blessed them. And he named them “Mankind”[c] when they were created.

When Adam had lived 130 years, he had a son in his own likeness, in his own image;(K) and he named him Seth.(L) After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died.(M)

When Seth had lived 105 years, he became the father[d] of Enosh.(N) After he became the father of Enosh, Seth lived 807 years and had other sons and daughters. Altogether, Seth lived a total of 912 years, and then he died.
