Genesis 5:21-32 ▼

21 When Enoch was sixty-five years old, he became the father of Methuselah.

22 Enoch walked [in habitual fellowship] with God three hundred years after the birth of Methuselah and had other sons and daughters.

23 So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years.

24 And [in reverent fear and obedience] Enoch walked with God; and he was not [found among men], because God took him [away to be home with Him].

25 When Methuselah was a hundred and eighty-seven years old, he became the father of Lamech.

26 Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years after the birth of Lamech and had other sons and daughters.

27 So Methuselah lived nine hundred and sixty-nine years, and he died.

28 When Lamech was a hundred and eighty-two years old, he became the father of a son.

29 He named him Noah, saying, “This one shall bring us rest and comfort from our work and from the [dreadful] toil of our hands because of the ground which the LORD cursed.”

30 Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-five years after the birth of Noah and had other sons and daughters.

31 So all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years, and he died.

32 After Noah was five hundred years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
