The Family of Adam^(A)

5 This is the book of the ^(B)genealogy of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in ^(C)the likeness of God. ² He created them ^(D)male and female, and ^(E)blessed them and called them Mankind in the day they were created. ³ And Adam lived one hundred and thirty years, and begot a son ^(F)in his own likeness, after his image, and ^(G)named him Seth. ⁴ After he begot Seth, ^(H)the days of Adam were eight hundred years; ^(I)and he had sons and daughters. ⁵ So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; ^(J)and he died.

⁶ Seth lived one hundred and five years, and begot ^(K)Enosh. ⁷ After he begot Enosh, Seth lived eight hundred and seven years, and had sons and daughters. ⁸ So all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died.

⁹ Enosh lived ninety years, and begot ^[a]Cainan. ¹⁰ After he begot Cainan, Enosh lived eight hundred and fifteen years, and had sons and daughters. ¹¹ So all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years; and he died.

¹² Cainan lived seventy years, and begot Mahalalel. ¹³ After he begot Mahalalel, Cainan lived eight hundred and forty years, and had sons and daughters. ¹⁴ So all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years; and he died.

¹⁵ Mahalalel lived sixty-five years, and begot Jared. ¹⁶ After he begot Jared, Mahalalel lived eight hundred and thirty years, and had sons and daughters. ¹⁷ So all the days of Mahalalel were eight hundred and ninety-five years; and he died.

¹⁸ Jared lived one hundred and sixty-two years, and begot ^(L)Enoch. ¹⁹ After he begot Enoch, Jared lived eight hundred years, and had sons and daughters. ²⁰ So all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years; and he died.

²¹ Enoch lived sixty-five years, and begot Methuselah. ²² After he begot Methuselah, Enoch ^(M)walked with God three hundred years, and had sons and daughters. ²³ So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. ²⁴ And ^(N)Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God ^(O)took him.

²⁵ Methuselah lived one hundred and eighty-seven years, and begot Lamech. ²⁶ After he begot Lamech, Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years, and had sons and daughters. ²⁷ So all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years; and he died.

²⁸ Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years, and had a son. ²⁹ And he called his name ^(P)Noah,^[b] saying, “This one will comfort us concerning our work and the toil of our hands, because of the ground ^(Q)which the Lord has cursed.” ³⁰ After he begot Noah, Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-five years, and had sons and daughters. ³¹ So all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years; and he died.

³² And Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah begot ^(R)Shem, Ham, ^(S)and Japheth.

The Wickedness and Judgment of Man

6 Now it came to pass, ^(T)when men began to multiply on the face of the earth, and daughters were born to them, ² that the sons of God saw the daughters of men, that they were beautiful; and they ^(U)took wives for themselves of all whom they chose.

³ And the Lord said, ^(V)“My Spirit shall not ^(W)strive^[c] with man forever, ^(X)for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years.” ⁴ There were ^[d]giants on the earth in those ^(Y)days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men and they bore children to them. Those were the mighty men who were of old, men of renown.

⁵ Then ^[e]the Lord saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every ^(Z)intent^[f] of the thoughts of his heart was only evil ^[g]continually. ⁶ And ^(AA)the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and ^(AB)He was grieved in His ^(AC)heart. ⁷ So the Lord said, “I will ^(AD)destroy man whom I have created from the face of the earth, both man and beast, creeping thing and birds of the air, for I am sorry that I have made them.” ⁸ But Noah ^(AE)found grace in the eyes of the Lord.
