The Descendants of Adam
(1 Chronicles 1:1–3)

1This is the book of the lineage of Adam. In the day that God created man, he made him to the likeness of God. 2He created them, male and female; and he blessed them. And he called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

3Then Adam lived for one hundred and thirty years. And then he conceived a son in his own image and likeness, and he called his name Seth. 4And after he conceived Seth, the days of Adam that passed were eight hundred years. And he conceived sons and daughters. 5And all the time that passed while Adam lived was nine hundred and thirty years, and then he died.

6Seth likewise lived for one hundred and five years, and then he conceived Enos. 7And after he conceived Enos, Seth lived for eight hundred and seven years, and he conceived sons and daughters. 8And all the days of Seth that passed were nine hundred and twelve years, and then he died.

9In truth, Enos lived ninety years, and then he conceived Cainan. 10After his birth, he lived eight hundred and fifteen years, and he conceived sons and daughters. 11And all the days of Enos that passed were nine hundred and five years, and then he died.

12Likewise, Cainan lived seventy years, and then he conceived Mahalalel. 13And after he conceived Mahalalel, Cainan lived for eight hundred and forty years, and he conceived sons and daughters. 14And all the days of Cainan that passed were nine hundred and ten years, and then he died.

15And Mahalalel lived sixty-five years, and then he conceived Jared. 16And after he conceived Jared, Mahalalel lived for eight hundred and thirty years, and he conceived sons and daughters. 17And all the days of Mahalalel that passed were eight hundred and ninety-five years, and then he died.

God Takes Up Enoch
(Hebrews 11:5)

18And Jared lived for one hundred and sixty-two years, and then he conceived Enoch. 19And after he conceived Enoch, Jared lived for eight hundred years, and he conceived sons and daughters. 20And all the days of Jared that passed were nine hundred and sixty-two years, and then he died.

21Now Enoch lived for sixty-five years, and then he conceived Methuselah. 22And Enoch walked with God. And after he conceived Methuselah, he lived for three hundred years, and he conceived sons and daughters. 23And all the days of Enoch that passed were three hundred and sixty-five years. 24And he walked with God, and then he was seen no more, because God took him.

From Methuselah to Noah

25Likewise, Methuselah lived for one hundred and eighty-seven years, and then he conceived Lamech. 26And after he conceived Lamech, Methuselah lived for seven hundred and eighty-two years, and he conceived sons and daughters. 27And all the days of Methuselah that passed were nine hundred and sixty-nine years, and then he died.

28Then Lamech lived for one hundred and eighty-two years, and he conceived a son. 29And he called his name Noah, saying, “This one will console us from the works and hardships of our hands, in the land that the Lord has cursed.” 30And after he conceived Noah, Lamech lived for five hundred and ninety-five years, and he conceived sons and daughters. 31And all the days of Lamech that passed were seven hundred and seventy-seven years, and then he died.

32In truth, when Noah was five hundred years old, he conceived Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
