In the day that Elohim created the human being, in the likeness of Elohim he made him. 2Male and female he created them, and he blessed them and called their name “Human Being” in the day they were created. 3And Adam lived one hundred and thirty years and fathered a son in his likeness, according to his image, and called his name Seth. 4And the days of Adam after he fathered Seth were eight hundred years; and he fathered sons and daughters. 5And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years; and he died. 6And Seth lived one hundred and five years and fathered Enosh. 7And Seth lived after he fathered Enosh eight hundred and seven years and fathered sons and daughters. 8And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years and he died. 9And Enosh lived ninety years and fathered Kenan. 10And Enosh lived after he fathered Kenan eight hundred and fifteen years and fathered sons and daughters. 11And all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years and he died. 12And Kenan lived seventy years and fathered Mahalalel. 13And Kenan lived after he fathered Mahalalel eight hundred and forty years and fathered sons and daughters. 14And all the days of Kenan were nine hundred and ten years and he died. 15And Mahalalel lived sixty-five years and fathered Jared. 16And Mahalalel lived after he fathered Jared eight hundred and thirty years and fathered sons and daughters. 17And all the days of Mahalalel were eight hundred and ninety-five years and he died. 18And Jared lived one hundred and sixty-two years and fathered Enoch. 19And Jared lived after he fathered Enoch eight hundred years and fathered sons and daughters. 20And all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years and he died. 21And Enoch lived sixty-five years and fathered Methuselah. 22And Enoch walked with Elohim after he fathered Methuselah three hundred years and fathered sons and daughters. 23And all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. 24And Enoch walked with Elohim, and he was not, for Elohim took him.
