L’histoire de la famille d’Adam
D’Adam aux fils de Noé
5 Voici l’histoire de la famille d’Adam. Quand Dieu créa les êtres humains, il les fit de telle sorte qu’ils lui ressemblent. 2 Il les créa homme et femme, il les bénit et leur donna le nom d’hommes le jour où ils furent créés.
3 Adam était âgé de 130 ans quand il eut un fils qui lui ressemble, qui soit son image. Il lui donna le nom de Seth. 4 Après cela, Adam vécut encore 800 ans et il eut d’autres enfants. 5 La durée totale de sa vie fut de 930 ans, puis il mourut.
