Genesis 5

₁This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God. ₂Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and named them Man when they were created. ₃When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. ₄The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years; and he had other sons and daughters. ₅Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died.

₆When Seth had lived 105 years, he fathered Enosh. ₇Seth lived after he fathered Enosh 807 years and had other sons and daughters. ₈Thus all the days of Seth were 912 years, and he died.

₉When Enosh had lived 90 years, he fathered Kenan. ₁₀Enosh lived after he fathered Kenan 815 years and had other sons and daughters. ₁₁Thus all the days of Enosh were 905 years, and he died.

₁₂When Kenan had lived 70 years, he fathered Mahalalel. ₁₃Kenan lived after he fathered Mahalalel 840 years and had other sons and daughters. ₁₄Thus all the days of Kenan were 910 years, and he died.

₁₅When Mahalalel had lived 65 years, he fathered Jared. ₁₆Mahalalel lived after he fathered Jared 830 years and had other sons and daughters. ₁₇Thus all the days of Mahalalel were 895 years, and he died.

₁₈When Jared had lived 162 years he fathered Enoch. ₁₉Jared lived after he fathered Enoch 800 years and had other sons and daughters. ₂₀Thus all the days of Jared were 962 years, and he died.

₂₁When Enoch had lived 65 years, he fathered Methuselah. ₂₂Enoch walked with God after he fathered Methuselah 300 years and had other sons and daughters. ₂₃Thus all the days of Enoch were 365 years. ₂₄Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.

₂₅When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he fathered Lamech. ₂₆Methuselah lived after he fathered Lamech 782 years and had other sons and daughters. ₂₇Thus all the days of Methuselah were 969 years, and he died.

₂₈When Lamech had lived 182 years, he fathered a son ₂₉and called his name Noah, saying, “Out of the ground that the Lord has cursed, this one shall bring us relief from our work and from the painful toil of our hands.” ₃₀Lamech lived after he fathered Noah 595 years and had other sons and daughters. ₃₁Thus all the days of Lamech were 777 years, and he died.

₃₂After Noah was 500 years old, Noah fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
