This is the list of the descendants of Adam. (When God created human beings, he made them like himself. He created them male and female, blessed them, and named them “Human Beings.”) When Adam was 130 years old, he had a son who was like him, and he named him Seth. After that, Adam lived another 800 years. He had other children and died at the age of 930.
When Seth was 105, he had a son, Enosh, and then lived another 807 years. He had other children and died at the age of 912.
When Enosh was 90, he had a son, Kenan, and then lived another 815 years. He had other children and died at the age of 905.
When Kenan was 70, he had a son, Mahalalel, and then lived another 840 years. He had other children and died at the age of 910.
