5 This is the book of the generations of Adam. On the day when God created man, He made him ^(A)in the likeness of God. ²He created them ^(B)male and female, and He ^(C)blessed them and named them “mankind” on the day when 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. ⁴Then the days of Adam after he fathered Seth were eight hundred years, and he fathered other sons and daughters. ⁵So all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died.
