[1] God created men and women to be like himself. He gave them his blessing and called them human beings. This is a list of the descendants of Adam, the first man: [3] When Adam was one hundred thirty, he had a son who was just like him, and he named him Seth. Adam had more children [5] and died at the age of nine hundred thirty. [6] When Seth was one hundred five, he had a son named Enosh. [7] Seth had more children [8] and died at the age of nine hundred twelve. [9] When Enosh was ninety, he had a son named Kenan. [10] Enosh had more children [11] and died at the age of nine hundred five. [12] When Kenan was seventy, he had a son named Mahalalel. [13] Kenan had more children [14] and died at the age of nine hundred ten. [15] When Mahalalel was sixty-five, he had a son named Jared. [16] Mahalalel had more children [17] and died at the age of eight hundred ninety-five. [18] When Jared was one hundred sixty-two, he had a son named Enoch. [19] Jared had more children [20] and died at the age of nine hundred sixty-two. [21] When Enoch was sixty-five, he had a son named Methuselah, [22] and during the next three hundred years he had more children. Enoch truly loved God, [23] and God took him away at the age of three hundred sixty-five. [25] When Methuselah was one hundred eighty-seven, he had a son named Lamech. [26] Methuselah had more children [27] and died at the age of nine hundred sixty-nine. [28] When Lamech was one hundred eighty-two, he had a son. [29] Lamech said, "I'll name him Noah because he will give us comfort, as we struggle hard to make a living on this land that the LORD has put under a curse." [30] Lamech had more children [31] and died at the age of seven hundred seventy-seven. [32] After Noah was five hundred years old, he had three sons and named them Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
