Descendants of Adam

¹ This is the book (the written record, the history) of the generations of the descendants of Adam. When God created man, He made him ^(C1)in the likeness of God not physical, but a spiritual personality and moral likeness.² He created them ^(C1)male and female, and ^(C2)blessed them and named them ^(F1)Mankind at the time they were created.

³ When Adam had lived a hundred and thirty years, he ^(F1)became the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth.⁴ After he became the father of Seth, Adam lived eight hundred years and had other sons and daughters.⁵ So Adam lived nine hundred and thirty years in all, and he died.

⁶ When Seth was a hundred and five years old, he became the father of Enosh.⁷ Seth lived eight hundred and seven years after the birth of Enosh, and he had other sons and daughters.⁸ So Seth lived nine hundred and twelve years, and he died.

⁹ When Enosh was ninety years old, he became the father of Kenan.¹⁰ Enosh lived eight hundred and fifteen years after the birth of Kenan and had other sons and daughters.¹¹ So Enosh lived nine hundred and five years, and he died.

¹² When Kenan was seventy years old, he became the father of Mahalalel.¹³ Kenan lived eight hundred and forty years after the birth of Mahalalel and had other sons and daughters.¹⁴ So Kenan lived nine hundred and ten years, and he died.

¹⁵ When Mahalalel was sixty-five years old, he became the father of Jared.¹⁶ Mahalalel lived eight hundred and thirty years after the birth of Jared and had other sons and daughters.¹⁷ So Mahalalel lived eight hundred and ninety-five years, and he died.

¹⁸ When Jared was a hundred and sixty-two years old, he became the father of Enoch.¹⁹ Jared lived eight hundred years after the birth of Enoch and had other sons and daughters.²⁰ So Jared lived nine hundred and sixty-two years, and he died.

²¹ When Enoch was sixty-five years old, he became the father of Methuselah.²² Enoch ^(C1)walked in habitual fellowship with God three hundred years after the birth of Methuselah and had other sons and daughters.²³ So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.²⁴ And in reverent fear and obedience ^(C1)Enoch walked with God; and he was not found among men, because God ^(C2)took him away to be home with Him. ^(VR1)

²⁵ When Methuselah was a hundred and eighty-seven years old, he became the father of Lamech.²⁶ Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years after the birth of Lamech and had other sons and daughters.²⁷ So Methuselah lived nine hundred and sixty-nine years, and he died.

²⁸ When Lamech was a hundred and eighty-two years old, he became the father of a son.²⁹ He named him Noah, saying, "This one shall bring us rest and comfort from our work and from the dreadful toil of our hands because of ^(C1)the ground which the LORD cursed."³⁰ Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-five years after the birth of Noah and had other sons and daughters.³¹ So all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years, and he died.

³² After Noah was ^(C1)five hundred years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
