Genesis 5

GENESIS 5 -- Sunday, March 20, 2011

What follows in chapter five is a straightforward genealogy of the patriarchs ending with Noah's triplets, Shem, Ham, and Japeth:

• 3928 BC Enosh to Kenan (Gen. 5:9)
• 3838 BC Kenan to Mahalalel (Gen. 5:12)
• 3768 BC Mahalalel to Jared (Gen. 5:15)
• 3703 BC Jared to Enoch (Gen. 5:18)
• 3541 BC Enoch to Methuselah (Gen. 5:21)
• 3476 BC Methuselah to Lamech (Gen. 5:25)
• 3289 BC Lamech to Noah (Gen. 5:28)
• 3107 BC Noah to Shem (Gen. 5:32)

When Enoch was 365 years old Yahweh took him somewhere.

Methuselah lived 969 years and died in the same year as the flood, which was 2507 BC. Maybe he died IN the flood.
