And after he had become the father of Noah
This phrase marks a significant moment in the genealogical record of Genesis. The name "Noah" is derived from the Hebrew root "נחם" (nacham), which means "to comfort" or "to rest." This etymology is significant because Noah is destined to bring relief and comfort to humanity, which is burdened by sin and the curse on the ground (Genesis 5:29). The mention of Noah here foreshadows his pivotal role in the narrative of the Flood, where he becomes a vessel of God's grace and a new beginning for creation.

Lamech lived 595 years
The longevity of Lamech, as with other patriarchs in Genesis, reflects the antediluvian (pre-Flood) era's unique conditions. The extended lifespans recorded in Genesis 5 have been the subject of much theological reflection. From a conservative Christian perspective, these ages are taken as literal, underscoring the vitality and vigor of early humanity before the effects of sin and the Flood further diminished human lifespan. Lamech's long life also emphasizes the continuity of God's plan through generations, as each patriarch faithfully passes down the knowledge of God to the next.

and had other sons and daughters
This phrase indicates the proliferation of humanity even in the midst of a fallen world. The mention of "other sons and daughters" suggests that God's command to "be fruitful and multiply" (Genesis 1:28) continues to be fulfilled despite the pervasive presence of sin. It also highlights the importance of family and lineage in the biblical narrative, as each generation plays a role in the unfolding of God's redemptive plan. The genealogies in Genesis serve not only as historical records but also as theological affirmations of God's faithfulness to His creation and His covenant promises.
