SPECIAL NOTE:

[ I will again be working through the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation. I will be adding links, resources, images, and the like, upgrading the former work-through which began with the 2013-10-12 posting which can be found, along with the full Genesis to Revelation postings, in the Archive Page. Postings will be at midnight Eastern Time, as I am able. However, no days will be skipped, even though a posting may be late. And all postings will be housed in the Archive Page. ]


     Explanation: Genesis 5 lists patriarchs from Adam to Noah, focusing on the godly line of Adam's son Seth. Genesis 5 is the beginning of the third division of the Book of Genesis and the second of the toledoth sections, i.e., a section which uses the formula "these are the generations of." Enoch and his son Methuselah are prominent in the chapter -- Enoch because he was "translated that he should not see death" (Hebrews 11:5), and Methuselah because he was the oldest known human being. But the focus of the chapter is on Noah, particularly in reference to his father's prophecy that Noah "shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD has cursed" (verse 29). The chapter opens with a notation that God created a man in his likeness, made a woman, and called their name "Adam." Then the man, also called Adam, had a son called Seth; and Adam lived 930 years (1-5). Seth begot Enos and lived 912 years (6-8). Enos begot Cainan and lived 905 years (9-11). Cainan begot Mahalaleel and lived 910 years (12-14). Mahalaleel begot Jared and lived 895 years (15-17). Jared begot Enoch and lived 962 years (18-20). Enoch begot Methuselah and lived 365 years. The LORD took him to heaven without dying. The only other person who went to heaven without dying (2 Kings 2:11-12) was Elijah (21-24). Methuselah begot Lamech and lived 969 years (25-27). Lamech begot Noah and lived 777 years (28-31). Noah begot Shem, Ham, and Japheth (32).
