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

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

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

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

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

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