Genesis 5

Adam’s Descendants to Noah

32 verses
  • Genesis chapter 5 is a genealogical record detailing Adam's descent through Seth, his third son, to Noah, who later builds the ark to save his family and animals from the flood. This chapter is known as the "Adam's Descent List" and focuses on the line of Seth, in contrast to the line of Cain that was mentioned in the previous chapter. This chapter mentions the ages of the patriarchs and the age at which they had children and died. In addition, the idea that the patriarchs lived very long lives is highlighted, some even living more than 900 years. The chapter also emphasizes the importance of descent and the continuity of the family line over time. Although it may seem like a monotonous genealogical record, Genesis chapter 5 is significant because it establishes the connection between Adam, the first man, and Noah, the man God chooses to repopulate the Earth after the flood. This genealogical line is important for the understanding of biblical history and for the Judeo-Christian tradition in general.
