5 This is the written account of the generations of Adam: On the day God created mankind, he made him in the likeness of God. 2 He created them male and female, and he blessed them and called their name “mankind” on the day they were created.

3 And Adam lived 130 years, then he fathered a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and he called his name Seth. 4 And the days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years, and he fathered other sons and daughters. 5 So all the days of Adam that he lived were 930 years, and he died.

6 And Seth lived 105 years, then he fathered Enosh. 7 Then after he fathered Enosh, Seth lived 807 years, and he fathered other sons and daughters. 8 So all the days of Seth were 912 years, and he died.

9 And Enosh lived ninety years, then he fathered Kenan. 10 Then after he fathered Kenan, Enosh lived 815 years, and he fathered other sons and daughters. 11 So all the days of Enosh were 905 years, and he died.

12 And Kenan lived seventy years, then he fathered Mahalalel. 13 Then after he fathered Mahalalel, Kenan lived 840 years, and he fathered other sons and daughters. 14 So all the days of Kenan were 910 years, and he died.

15 And Mahalalel lived sixty-five years, then he fathered Jared. 16 Then after he fathered Jared, Mahalalel lived 830 years, and he fathered other sons and daughters. 17 So all the days of Mahalalel were 895 years, and he died.

18 And Jared lived 162 years, then he fathered Enoch. 19 Then after he fathered Enoch, Jared lived 800 years, and he fathered other sons and daughters. 20 So all the days of Jared were 962 years, and he died.

21 And Enoch lived sixty-five years, then he fathered Methuselah. 22 Then after he fathered Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years, and he fathered other sons and daughters. 23 So all the days of Enoch were 365 years. 24 And Enoch walked with God, and then he was not there, because God took him away.

25 And Methuselah lived 187 years, then he fathered Lamech. 26 Then after he fathered Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years, and he fathered other sons and daughters. 27 So all the days of Methuselah were 969 years, and he died.

28 And Lamech lived 182 years, then he fathered a son, 29 and he called his name Noah, saying, “This one will comfort us from our labors and from the toil of our hands because of the ground which Yahweh has cursed.” 30 Then after he fathered Noah, Lamech lived 595 years, and he fathered other sons and daughters. 31 So all the days of Lamech were 777 years, and he died.

32 And Noah was a son of 500 years, then Noah fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
