Genesis Chapter 5

Old Testament · Hebrew original · 32 verses

Genesis 5 traces ten generations from Adam to Noah. Each entry follows a set pattern: a man lives, fathers a son, has other children, and dies. The chapter opens with Adam and closes with Noah and his three sons.

The repeated phrase "and he died" underscores the reality of death that entered with the Fall. One exception breaks the pattern. Enoch walks with God and is taken without dying, offering a quiet hint that death is not the final word. The chapter shows human decay and the hope that remains.
