Genesis 5

Genesis 5 presents the genealogy from Adam to Noah, highlighting the lineage of descendants made “in the image and likeness” of God, starting with Seth and his successors. The chapter records the age of each patriarch at the birth of their children and their total lifespan, showing the succession of generations. Among them, Enoch stands out for “walking with God” and being taken by Him without experiencing death. The chapter concludes with Lamech, the father of Noah, foretelling that Noah would bring relief to humanity, setting the stage for the events of the Flood.
