Genesis 5
1. Recapitulation of the creation of man.
3. The genealogy, age, and death of the patriarchs from Adam to Noah.
22. Enoch's godliness and translation into Heaven.
25. The family line of Methuselah to Noah and his sons














And after he had become the father of Kenan
This phrase indicates the continuation of the genealogical line from Adam through Seth. Kenan, also spelled Cainan, is part of the antediluvian patriarchs, a group of individuals who lived before the Great Flood. The genealogies in Genesis serve to connect the creation narrative to the story of Noah and the flood, emphasizing the continuity of God's plan through specific chosen individuals. Kenan's name is significant in Hebrew, meaning "possession" or "sorrow," which may reflect the human condition post-Fall. This lineage is also mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus in Luke 3:37, highlighting the importance of these early figures in the biblical narrative.

Enosh lived 815 years
The long lifespans recorded in Genesis 5 are a subject of much discussion. These extended ages may symbolize the vitality and blessing of the early human race, living closer to the perfection of creation. Enosh's lifespan, like others in this genealogy, underscores the gradual decline in human longevity post-Flood, as seen in later genealogies. The name Enosh means "man" or "mortal," reflecting the frailty and transience of human life, a theme echoed in Psalm 8:4 and Job 7:17.

and had other sons and daughters
This phrase indicates that the genealogies in Genesis are selective, focusing on the line through which God's covenant promises are fulfilled. The mention of "other sons and daughters" suggests a broader population than the specific line mentioned, which is important for understanding the spread of humanity across the earth. This detail also highlights the biblical theme of fruitfulness and multiplication, as commanded in Genesis 1:28. The presence of other children ensures the continuation of human society and the fulfillment of God's command to fill the earth.
