5:1 Adam’s (important) descendants

(1 Chr. 1:1-4)

5This is the list of Adam’s descendants. When God had created humankind, he made them in his own likeness.[ref] 2He created them as male and female, and he blessed them and named them ‘humans’.[ref] 3When Adam was 130 years old, he had a son who was like him in many ways, and he named him Shet (Seth). 4After Shet’s birth, Adam lived another 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 5So Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died.

6When Shet was 105 years old, he had a son named Enosh. 7After Enosh’s birth, Seth lived another 807 years and had other sons and daughters. 8So Shet lived a total of 912 years, and then he died.

9When Enosh was 90 years old, he had a son named Kenan. 10After Kenan’s birth, Enosh lived another 815 years and had other sons and daughters. 11So Enosh lived a total of 905 years, and then he died.

12When Kenan was 70 years old, he had a son named Mahalalel. 13After Mahalalel’s birth, Kenan lived another 840 years and had other sons and daughters. 14So Kenan lived a total of 910 years, and then he died.

15When Mahalalel was 65 years old, he had a son named Yared (Jared). 16After Yared’s birth, Mahalalel lived another 830 years and had other sons and daughters. 17So Mahalalel lived a total of 895 years, and then he died.

18When Yared was 162 years old, he had a son named Hanoch (Enoch). 19After Hanoch’s birth, Yared lived another 800 years and had other sons and daughters. 20So Yared lived a total of 962 years, and then he died.

21When Hanoch was 65 years old, he had a son named Metushalah (Methuselah). 22After Metushalah’s birth, Hanoch walked with God for 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 23So Hanoch lived a total of 365 years. 24Hanoch walked with God, and then he was not there, because God took him away.[ref]

25When Metushalah was 187 years old, he had a son named Lemek (Lamech). 26After Lemek’s birth, Metushalah lived another 782 years and had other sons and daughters. 27So Metushalah lived a total of 969 years, and then he died.

28When Lemek was 182 years old, he had a son 29and 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.” 30After Noah’s birth, Lemek lived another 595 years and had other sons and daughters. 31So Lemek lived a total of 777 years, and then he died.

32After Noah was 500 years old, he had sons whose names were Yafet (Japheth), Shem, and Ham.[fn]


5:32 Gen 10:21 indicates that Yafet was the eldest, and Gen 9:24 indicates that Ham was the youngest.
