This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint. This is still an early look into the drafted text of the Open English Translation of the Bible. Please double-check the text in advance before using in public.
5 This is the list of Adam’s descendants. When God had created humankind, he made them in his own likeness.[ref] 2 He created them as male and female,[ref] and he blessed them and named them ‘humans’. 3 When Adam was 130 years old, he had a son who was like him in many ways, and he named him Shet (Seth). 4 After Shet’s birth, Adam lived another 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 5 So Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died.
6 When Shet was 105 years old, he had a son named Enosh. 7 After Enosh’s birth, Shet lived another 807 years and had other sons and daughters. 8 So Shet lived a total of 912 years, and then he died.
9 When Enosh was 90 years old, he had a son named Keynan. 10 After Keynan’s birth, Enosh lived another 815 years and had other sons and daughters. 11 So Enosh lived a total of 905 years, and then he died.
12 When Keynan was 70 years old, he had a son named Mahalalel. 13 After Mahalalel’s birth, Keynan lived another 840 years and had other sons and daughters. 14 So Keynan lived a total of 910 years, and then he died.
15 When Mahalalel was 65 years old, he had a son named Yered (Jared). 16 After Yered’s birth, Mahalalel lived another 830 years and had other sons and daughters. 17 So Mahalalel lived a total of 895 years, and then he died.
18 When Yered was 162 years old, he had a son named Hanok (Enoch). 19 After Hanok’s birth, Yered lived another 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 20 So Yered lived a total of 962 years, and then he died.
21 When Hanok was 65 years old, he had a son named Metushelah (Methuselah). 22 After Metushelah’s birth, Hanok walked with God for 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 23 So Hanok lived a total of 365 years. 24 Hanok walked with God, and then he was not there, because God took him away.[ref]
25 When Metushelah was 187 years old, he had a son named Lemek (Lamech). 26 After Lemek’s birth, Metushelah lived another 782 years and had other sons and daughters. 27 So Metushelah lived a total of 969 years, and then he died.
28 When Lemek was 182 years old, he had a son 29 and he named him Noah (which sounds like the Hebrew word for ‘relief’) because he said, “This son will give us relief from the difficult work that we have to do because Yahweh has cursed the ground.” 30 After Noah’s birth, Lemek lived another 595 years and had other sons and daughters. 31 So Lemek lived a total of 777 years, and then he died.
32 After Noah was 500 years old, he had sons whose names were Yefet (Japheth), Shem, and Ham.[fn]
5:32 Gen 10:21 indicates that Yefet was the eldest, and Gen 9:24 indicates that Ham was the youngest.
