Descendants of Adam

1-2 (A) God created men and women to be like himself. He gave them his blessing and called them human beings. The following is a list of the descendants of Adam, the first man:

3-4 When Adam was 130, he had a son who was just like him, and he named him Seth. Adam had more children and died at the age of 930.

When Seth was 105, he had a son named Enosh. Seth had more children and died at the age of 912.

When Enosh was 90, he had a son named Kenan. 10 Enosh had more children 11 and died at the age of 905.

12 When Kenan was 70, he had a son named Mahalalel. 13 Kenan had more children 14 and died at the age of 910.

15 When Mahalalel was 65, he had a son named Jared. 16 Mahalalel had more children 17 and died at the age of 895.

18 When Jared was 162, he had a son named Enoch. 19 Jared had more children 20 and died at the age of 962.

21 When Enoch was 65, he had a son named Methuselah, 22 and during the next 300 years he had more children. Enoch truly loved God, 23-24 (B) and God took him away at the age of 365.

25 When Methuselah was 187, he had a son named Lamech. 26 Methuselah had more children 27 and died at the age of 969.

28 When Lamech was one 182, he had a son. 29 Lamech said, “I'll name him Noah because he will give us comfort,[a] as we struggle hard to make a living on this land that the Lord has put under a curse.” 30 Lamech had more children 31 and died at the age of 777.

32 After Noah was 500 years old, he had three sons and named them Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
