Genesis 5

Adam's Descendants to Noah and His Sons

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 a hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. 4The days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years; and he had other sons and daughters. 5Thus all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.

6When Seth had lived a hundred and five years, he became the father of Enosh. 7Seth lived after the birth of Enosh eight hundred and seven years, and had other sons and daughters. 8Thus all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years; and he died.

9When Enosh had lived ninety years, he became the father of Kenan. 10Enosh lived after the birth of Kenan eight hundred and fifteen years, and had other sons and daughters. 11Thus all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years; and he died.

12When Kenan had lived seventy years, he became the father of Mahal'alel. 13Kenan lived after the birth of Mahal'alel eight hundred and forty years, and had other sons and daughters. 14Thus all the days of Kenan were nine hundred and ten years; and he died.

15When Mahal'alel had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Jared. 16Mahal'alel lived after the birth of Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and had other sons and daughters. 17Thus all the days of Mahal'alel were eight hundred and ninety-five years; and he died.

18When Jared had lived a hundred and sixty-two years he became the father of Enoch. 19Jared lived after the birth of Enoch eight hundred years, and had other sons and daughters. 20Thus all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years; and he died.

21When Enoch had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Methu'selah. 22Enoch walked with God after the birth of Methu'selah three hundred years, and had other sons and daughters. 23Thus all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. 24Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.

25When Methu'selah had lived a hundred and eighty-seven years, he became the father of Lamech. 26Methu'selah lived after the birth of Lamech seven hundred and eighty-two years, and had other sons and daughters. 27Thus all the days of Methu'selah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years; and he died.

28When Lamech had lived a hundred and eighty-two years, he became the father of a son, 29and called his name Noah, saying, "Out of the ground which the Lord has cursed this one shall bring us relief from our work and from the toil of our hands." 30Lamech lived after the birth of Noah five hundred and ninety-five years, and had other sons and daughters. 31Thus all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years; and he died.

32After Noah was five hundred years old, Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
