Footnotes

  1. Genesis 5:21 Lees ook Judas 1:14.
  2. Genesis 5:22 Wát zal er dan gebeuren? De grote overstroming! (Lees Genesis 6). Kennelijk had God al aan Henoch, die aan Hem toegewijd was, laten weten wat Hij zou gaan doen met de aarde. Metusala leefde heel erg lang. Zó lang had God nog geduld met de mensen voordat Hij de aarde verwoestte door het water.
