1 This is the record of the descendants of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God;

2 he created them male and female. When they were created, he blessed them and named them "man."

3 Adam was one hundred and thirty years old when he begot a son in his likeness, after his image; and he named him Seth.

4 Adam lived eight hundred years after the birth of Seth, and he had other sons and daughters.

5 The whole lifetime of Adam was nine hundred and thirty years; then he died.

6 When Seth was one hundred and five years old, he became the father of Enosh.

7 Seth lived eight hundred and seven years after the birth of Enosh, and he had other sons and daughters.

8 The whole lifetime of Seth was nine hundred and twelve years; then he died.

9 When Enosh was ninety years old, he became the father of Kenan.

10 Enosh lived eight hundred and fifteen years after the birth of Kenan, and he had other sons and daughters.

11 The whole lifetime of Enosh was nine hundred and five years; then he died.

12 When Kenan was seventy years old, he became the father of Mahalalel.

13 Kenan lived eight hundred and forty years after the birth of Mahalalel, and he had other sons and daughters.

14 The whole lifetime of Kenan was nine hundred and ten years; then he died.

15 When Mahalalel was sixty-five years old, he became the father of Jared.

16 Mahalalel lived eight hundred and thirty years after the birth of Jared, and he had other sons and daughters.

17 The whole lifetime of Mahalalel was eight hundred and ninety-five years; then he died.

18 When Jared was one hundred and sixty-two years old, he became the father of Enoch.

19 Jared lived eight hundred years after the birth of Enoch, and he had other sons and daughters.

20 The whole lifetime of Jared was nine hundred and sixty-two years; then he died.

21 When Enoch was sixty-five years old, he became the father of Methuselah.

22 Enoch lived three hundred years after the birth of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters.

23 The whole lifetime of Enoch was three hundred and sixty-five years.

24 Then Enoch walked with God, and he was no longer here, for God took him.

25 When Methuselah was one hundred and eighty-seven years old, he became the father of Lamech.

26 Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years after the birth of Lamech, and he had other sons and daughters.

27 The whole lifetime of Methuselah was nine hundred and sixty-nine years; then he died.

28 When Lamech was one hundred and eighty-two years old, he begot a son

29 and named him Noah, saying, "Out of the very ground that the LORD has put under a curse, this one shall bring us relief from our work and the toil of our hands."

30 Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-five years after the birth of Noah, and he had other sons and daughters.

31 The whole lifetime of Lamech was seven hundred and seventy-seven years; then he died.

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

v 1,2. Adam comes from the word red, so he may have had a ruddy complexion. But their name, Adam, meant human kind. All the genes for all races were contained in Adam, and people probably looked similar until Babel segregated a concentration of genes in individual races. He was created in the likeness of God Created both male and female. Tradition has it that Noah made the 3rd document composing the book of Genesis. It was believed to be started by Adam, continured by Enoch and Methuselah, then completed by Noah. l

v 3,4. Not stated how many sons and daughters born before Seth or total.

v 5-32. We may be in error in accepting Ushers dates based on figuring years stated. by the men named. This is not a chronology but a family history, and does not say how many were born before the one listed. For instance Seth is listed, but we know he had two brothers born first, and we have no idea how many other brothers and sisters at this time. There were some, because Cain took along his wife, who would have been either a sister or a niece. This is an outline of the line of Christ, and may not account for all the years involved, perhaps a thousand or two, more or less. There may be omissions of unknown length, as the omission of Ahaziah and Joash between Joram and Uzziah in our Lord’s genealogy, Mt. 1:1-17. There are other omissions in 1 Chronicles 1-9. With the figures in this chapter and Genesis
:H it could indicate there were owever, M years between creation of man and the flood. Morris, in the Genesis Record, gives strong indication that Usher’s dates  are probably pretty close.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

v 21-24. Enoch means “dedicated”. Srong’s says Methuselah means “man of the spear” but others say more likely it is, “When he dies, it shall be sent”. This is a chapter of death. Eight times we read, “And he died.” It is noteworthy that Enoch had such a close relationship with God for 300 years that he was transformed instead of dying. =

4Here we have a picture of the rapture of the Church.

v 27. At 969 years, Methuselah is the oldest person recorded.

v 29. Lamech trusted God that comfort from the ungodly world would come through Noah. Noah means rest. His life of witness was rough, but God gave him rest and security from destruction.

v 32. This does not necessarily mean these were triplets, but all born after he was 500.
