Genesis 5

The Families From Adam To Noah

This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made He him.

And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years; and he begot sons and daughters. And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died.
