2 Creating them male and female,
he blessed them
and called them humans[f]
when[g] he created them.
3 After Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son just like him,[h] that is,[i] according to his own likeness, and named him Seth. 4 Adam lived another 800 years, fathering other[j] sons and daughters after he had fathered Seth. 5 Adam lived a total[k] of 930 years, and then died.
