Genesis 5:1-5

The Line of Adam Continues Under Death, Yet God Preserves the Promised Seed

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in His own likeness.

2 Male and female He created them, and He blessed them. And in the day they were created, He called them “man.”

3 When Adam was 130 years old, he had a son in his own likeness, after his own image; and he named him Seth.

4 And after he had become the father of Seth, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters.

5 So Adam lived a total of 930 years, and then he died.
