Genesis 5
Summary
The chapter begins with a genealogy of Adam, through the line of Seth. To summarize, it goes as such: Adam, the father of Seth, the father of Enosh, the father of Cainan, the father of Mahalalel, the father of Jared, the father of Enoch, the father of Methuselah, the father of Lamech, the father of Noah.
Those worthy of special note from this list are Enoch (not Cain's son from Genesis 4:17-18), who apparently did not die, because he "walked with God; and he was not, for God took him" (v. 24), and Lamech, Noah's father, who is not to be confused with Lamech, the great-great-great grandson of Cain, Seth's brother.
This short chapter ends with verse 32: "And Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth."
