From Adam to Noah
1️⃣ The Line of Adam
This chapter records the family line from Adam to Noah, showing how humanity continued to grow after the fall.
When God created humans, He made them in His image — male and female — and blessed them.
2️⃣ Adam’s Family
-
Adam was 130 years old when he had a son named Seth, who looked and lived much like his father.
-
After Seth, Adam had many other sons and daughters, and he lived to be 930 years old before he died.
3️⃣ Seth’s Line
-
Seth had a son named Enosh at age 105.
He lived another 807 years, having more children, and died at 912. -
Enosh had Kenan at 90, lived 905 years total, and died.
-
Kenan had Mahalalel at 70, lived 910 years, and died.
-
Mahalalel had Jared at 65, lived 895 years, and died.
-
Jared had Enoch at 162, lived 962 years, and died.
4️⃣ The Unique Story of Enoch
Enoch stands out — he lived a close, faithful relationship with God for 365 years.
Then, instead of dying like the others,
“Enoch walked faithfully with God; then he was no more, because God took him.”
This means God took him directly to heaven, showing that death isn’t the end for those who walk closely with Him.
5️⃣ From Methuselah to Noah
-
Methuselah, Enoch’s son, lived 969 years, the longest life recorded in the Bible.
-
His son Lamech lived 777 years.
-
Lamech had a son named Noah, saying:
“He will comfort us in our hard work and the painful labor of farming this cursed ground.”
After that, Lamech had more children, and Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth — the three men from whom all later nations would come.
✅ Summary in Today’s Terms
-
Genesis 5 bridges the story between Adam and Noah.
-
It shows that, even though death entered the world, life continued through generations.
-
Enoch’s story reminds us that a close walk with God leads to life beyond death.
-
Humanity was spreading, working, and struggling under the effects of sin — but God’s plan for redemption was still unfolding through Noah’s line.
