Book of Genealogies

1This is the Book of the Genealogies of Adam: When God created Adam, in the likeness of God He made him.

2Male and female He created them, and He blessed them and called their name “Adam” when He created them.

3Adam lived 130 years, then fathered a son in his likeness, after his image, and named him Seth.

4Then the days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years, and He fathered other sons and daughters.

5So all Adam’s days that he lived were 930 years, and then he died.

6Seth lived 105 years, then fathered Enosh.

7Seth lived 807 years after he fathered Enosh, and he fathered sons and daughters.

8So all Seth’s days were 912 years, and then he died.

9Enosh lived 90 years, then fathered Kenan.

10Enosh lived 815 years after he fathered Kenan, and he fathered sons and daughters.

11So all of Enosh’s days were 905 years, and then he died.

12Kenan lived 70 years, then fathered Mahalalel.

13Kenan lived 840 years after he fathered Mahalalel, he fathered sons and daughters.
