The Descendants of Adam
(1 Chronicles 1:1-4)
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.”a
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.
6When Seth was 105 years old, he became the father of Enosh. 7And after he had become the father of Enosh, Seth lived 807 years and had other sons and daughters. 8So Seth lived a total of 912 years, and then he died.
9When Enosh was 90 years old, he became the father of Kenan. 10And after he had become the father of Kenan, Enosh lived 815 years and had other sons and daughters. 11So Enosh lived a total of 905 years, and then he died.
12When Kenan was 70 years old, he became the father of Mahalaleel. 13And after he had become the father of Mahalaleel, Kenan lived 840 years and had other sons and daughters. 14So Kenan lived a total of 910 years, and then he died.
15When Mahalaleel was 65 years old, he became the father of Jared. 16And after he had become the father of Jared, Mahalaleel lived 830 years and had other sons and daughters. 17So Mahalaleel lived a total of 895 years, and then he died.
Several observations in these verses.
God named “man” or mankind in other translations.
The “lifespan of man” prior to the flood is long, 895 years except for Enoch which we will see tomorrow he was a special person.
The book of Genesis was written by Moses.
I’m glad my lifespan isn’t 895+ years!
How long do you wish your lifespan was?
Blessings, David
