Genesis Chapter 5 Summary

Genesis 5 is a generations genealogy of the family of man through Adam and one of his many sons, Seth.

It begins with, “These are the generations of Adam,” and this chapter list his lineage all the way to brother Noah and his three sons.

In this generation, men lived very long lives, up to 969 years for the longest (Methuselah), but not one of them broke 1,000.

One eye raiser is the patriarch Enoch, who the scripture says was taken by God because he walked with God. Everyone else was written to have died except for brother Enoch.

It is possible for Enoch to live today because of this scripture, as God perhaps was showing the world what Adam could have done and transitioned to.

A final note on this chapter is that all of these patriarchs had sons (plural) and daughters (plural). They kept God’s command to be fruitful and multiply.

Please it to the Father to add blessings to the reading and doing of His Holy Word through His Son Jesus Christ. So Be It!
