Genesis 5:1-5

Expanded Bible

Adam’s Family History

5 This is the ·family history [^Lbook of the generations; see 2:4] of Adam. When God created ·human beings [humankind; ^Tman; ^CHebrew Adam; 1:27–28], he made them in his own likeness. ² He created them male and female, and on that day he blessed them and named them ·human beings [humankind; or Adam; ^Tman].

³ When Adam was 130 years old, he became the father of another son in his likeness and image [^Cindicating he was like Adam and that he also bore God’s image], and Adam named him Seth [4:25]. ⁴ After Seth was born, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. ⁵ So Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died [^Cthe long lives in this genealogy indicate God’s blessing; these names are also in Jesus’ genealogy in Luke 3:36–38].
