The family that came from Adam
1 This is the story of Adam's family. When God made people, he made them to be like himself. + 2 He made them to be a man and a woman, and he blessed them+. That means that he was good to them, he made them strong and he called them humans
This is a list of people that were in Adam's family line. 3 Adam was alive for 130 years and then he had a son that he named Seth. When Seth was born, he was just like Adam and looked like him too. 4 Adam lived for another 800 years after Seth was born and Adam had more sons and daughters. 5 Adam died when he was 930 years old.
6 When Seth was 105 years old he had a son named Enosh. 7 Seth lived for another 807 years, and he had more sons and daughters. 8 Seth died when he was 912 years old.
9 When Enosh was 90 years old he had a son named Keynan. 10 Enosh lived for another 815 years, and he had more sons and daughters. 11 Enosh died when he was 905 years old.
12 When Keynan was 70 years old he had a son named Maha-lalel. 13 Keynan lived for another 840 years, and he had more sons and daughters. 14 Keynan died when he was 910 years old.
15 When Maha-lalel was 65 years old he had a son named Jared. 16 Maha-lalel lived for another 830 years, and he had more sons and daughters. 17 Maha-lalel died when he was 895 years old.
18 When Jared was 162 years old he had a son named Enock. 19 Jared lived for another 800 years, and he had more sons and daughters. 20 Jared died when he was 962 years old.
21 When Enock was 65 years old he had a son named Methu-selah. 22 Enock lived for another 300 years after Methu-selah was born, and he had more sons and daughters. 23-24 Enock was a good man who spent a lot of time with God. Enock lived until he was 365 years old, then one day, people didn't see him anymore. He did not die, God took him straight up to heaven. +
25 When Methu-selah was 187 years old he had a son named Larmek. 26 Methu-selah lived for another 782 years, and he had more sons and daughters. 27 Methu-selah died when he was 969 years old.
28 When Larmek was 182 years old he had a son. 29 Larmek named his son Noah. Larmek said, “The Lord has cursed the ground, and that is why we have to work really hard to get our food. But I will call my son Noah. He will make us feel better.”
The name Noah sounds like the Hebrew word that means, He will make us feel better. 30 Then Larmek lived for another 595 years and he had more sons and daughters. 31 Larmek died when he was 777 years old.
32 When Noah was 500 years old he had 3 sons, named Shem, Ham and Jay-feth.
