Book of Genealogies
5 This is the Book of the Genealogies of Adam:
When God created Adam, in the likeness of God He made him. 2 Male and female He created them, and He blessed them and called their name “Adam” when He created them. 3 Adam lived 130 years, then fathered a son in his likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. 4 Then the days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years, and He fathered other sons and daughters. 5 So all Adam’s days that he lived were 930 years, and then he died.
6 Seth lived 105 years, then fathered Enosh. 7 Seth lived 807 years after he fathered Enosh, and he fathered sons and daughters. 8 So all Seth’s days were 912 years, and then he died.
9 Enosh lived 90 years, then fathered Kenan. 10 Enosh lived 815 years after he fathered Kenan, and he fathered sons and daughters. 11 So all of Enosh’s days were 905 years, and then he died.
12 Kenan lived 70 years, then fathered Mahalalel. 13 Kenan lived 840 years after he fathered Mahalalel, he fathered sons and daughters. 14 So all of Kenan’s days were 910 years, and then he died.
15 Mahalalel lived 65 years, then fathered Jared. 16 Mahalalel lived 830 years after he fathered Jared, and he fathered sons and daughters. 17 So all of Mahalalel’s days were 895 years, and then he died.
18 Jared lived 162 years, then fathered Enoch. 19 Jared lived 800 years after he fathered Enoch, and he fathered sons and daughters. 20 So all of Jared’s days were 962 years, and then he died.
21 Enoch lived 65 years, then fathered Methuselah.
22 Now Enoch walked with God continually for 300 years after he fathered Methuselah, and he fathered sons and daughters. 23 So all of Enoch’s days were 365 years.
24 And Enoch continually walked with God—then he was not there, because God took him.
25 Methuselah lived 187 years and fathered Lamech. 26 And Methuselah lived 782 years after he fathered Lamech, and he fathered other sons and daughters. 27 So all of Methuselah’s days were 969 years, and then he died.

Adam’s Family History
5 This is the ·family history [L book of the generations; see 2:4] of Adam. When God created ·human beings [humankind; T man; C Hebrew 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; T man].
3 When Adam was 130 years old, he became the father of another son in his likeness and image [C indicating 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 [C the long lives in this genealogy indicate God’s blessing; these names are also in Jesus’ genealogy in Luke 3:36–38].
6 When Seth was 105 years old, he had a son named Enosh. 7 After Enosh was born, Seth lived 807 years and had other sons and daughters. 8 So Seth lived a total of 912 years, and then he died.
9 When Enosh was 90 years old, he had a son named Kenan. 10 After Kenan was born, Enosh lived 815 years and had other sons and daughters. 11 So Enosh lived a total of 905 years, and then he died.
12 When Kenan was 70 years old, he had a son named Mahalalel. 13 After Mahalalel was born, Kenan lived 840 years and had other sons and daughters. 14 So Kenan lived a total of 910 years, and then he died.
15 When Mahalalel was 65 years old, he had a son named Jared. 16 After Jared was born, Mahalalel lived 830 years and had other sons and daughters. 17 So Mahalalel lived a total of 895 years, and then he died.
18 When Jared was 162 years old, he had a son named Enoch. 19 After Enoch was born, Jared lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 20 So Jared lived a total of 962 years, and then he died.
21 When Enoch was 65 years old, he had a son named Methuselah. 22 After Methuselah was born, Enoch walked with God 300 years more and had other sons and daughters. 23 So Enoch lived a total of 365 years. 24 Enoch walked with God [C he had a close relationship with God; Heb. 11:5–6]; one day Enoch could not be found, because God took him [C like Elijah (2 Kin. 2:11), he did not die].
25 When Methuselah was 187 years old, he had a son named Lamech. 26 After Lamech was born, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters. 27 So Methuselah lived a total of 969 years, and then he died.
28 When Lamech was 182, he had a son. 29 Lamech named his son Noah [C the name resembles the Hebrew word for “rest”] and said, “He will ·comfort us in [or give us rest from] our work, which comes from the ground the Lord has cursed [3:17–19].” 30 After Noah was born, Lamech lived 595 years and had other sons and daughters. 31 So Lamech lived a total of 777 years, and then he died.
32 After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth [9:18–29; 10].
