Genesis 5:15-32

When Mahalalel was sixty-five, he fathered Jared. Mahalalel lived an additional eight hundred and thirty years after Jared was born and had many other sons and daughters. The life span of Mahalalel was eight hundred and ninety-five years, and then he died. When Jared was one hundred and sixty-two, he fathered Enoch. Jared lived an additional eight hundred years after Enoch was born and had many other sons and daughters. The life span of Jared was nine hundred and sixty-two years, and then he died. When Enoch was sixty-five, he fathered Methuselah. Enoch walked with God for three hundred years after Methuselah was born and had many other sons and daughters. Enoch and God walked together as intimate friends; then God took him to himself, and he was seen no more. The life span of Enoch was three hundred and sixty-five years. When Methuselah was one hundred and eighty-seven, he fathered Lamech. Methuselah lived an additional seven hundred and eighty-two years after Lamech was born and had many other sons and daughters. The life span of Methuselah was nine hundred and sixty-nine years, and then he died. When Lamech was one hundred and eighty-two, he fathered a son and named him Noah, saying, “He will relieve us from our hard work and painful toil, and from the ground that YAHWEH cursed.” Lamech lived an additional five hundred and ninety-five years after Noah was born and had many other sons and daughters. The life span of Lamech was seven hundred and seventy-seven years, and then he died. After Noah had lived five hundred years, he fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
