Topical Encyclopedia The genealogy from Adam to Noah is a significant lineage outlined in the Book of Genesis, providing a direct line from the first man created by God to the patriarch who survived the Great Flood. This genealogy is found in Genesis 5 and serves as a foundational element in understanding the early history of humanity according to the Bible.Adam Adam is the first human created by God, formed from the dust of the ground and given life through the breath of God (Genesis 2:7). He is placed in the Garden of Eden and given dominion over all living creatures. Adam's disobedience, alongside Eve, leads to the Fall, introducing sin and death into the world. Adam lived for 930 years (Genesis 5:5). Seth After the murder of Abel by Cain, Adam and Eve have another son, Seth, who is seen as a godly replacement for Abel. Seth is born when Adam is 130 years old (Genesis 5:3). He becomes the ancestor of a line that remains faithful to God. Seth lives for 912 years (Genesis 5:8). Enosh Enosh, the son of Seth, is born when Seth is 105 years old (Genesis 5:6). During Enosh's time, people begin to call upon the name of the LORD, indicating a revival or continuation of worship (Genesis 4:26). Enosh lives for 905 years (Genesis 5:11). Kenan Kenan, the son of Enosh, is born when Enosh is 90 years old (Genesis 5:9). Kenan's life is marked by the continuation of the godly line. He lives for 910 years (Genesis 5:14). Mahalalel Mahalalel, the son of Kenan, is born when Kenan is 70 years old (Genesis 5:12). His name is often interpreted to mean "praise of God." Mahalalel lives for 895 years (Genesis 5:17). Jared Jared, the son of Mahalalel, is born when Mahalalel is 65 years old (Genesis 5:15). Jared's name is associated with the descent, possibly indicating a time of spiritual decline. He lives for 962 years (Genesis 5:20). Enoch Enoch, the son of Jared, is born when Jared is 162 years old (Genesis 5:18). Enoch is notable for his close walk with God. Unlike others in the genealogy, Enoch does not die but is taken by God, indicating his righteousness (Genesis 5:24). Enoch lives for 365 years (Genesis 5:23). Methuselah Methuselah, the son of Enoch, is born when Enoch is 65 years old (Genesis 5:21). He is famously known as the longest-lived human in the Bible, reaching 969 years (Genesis 5:27). His death is traditionally associated with the timing of the Great Flood. Lamech Lamech, the son of Methuselah, is born when Methuselah is 187 years old (Genesis 5:25). Lamech is the father of Noah and expresses hope for relief from the curse of the ground through his son (Genesis 5:29). Lamech lives for 777 years (Genesis 5:31). Noah Noah, the son of Lamech, is born when Lamech is 182 years old (Genesis 5:28). Noah is a pivotal figure, chosen by God to survive the Flood due to his righteousness. He becomes the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth, through whom the earth is repopulated (Genesis 5:32). This genealogy not only traces the lineage from Adam to Noah but also highlights the faithfulness of certain individuals amidst a world increasingly filled with corruption and violence. Each name carries significance, reflecting the spiritual and moral conditions of their times.
