Genesis 5:21-32

21Enoch lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Methuselah. 22Then Enoch 1walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters. 23So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. 242Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God 3took him.

25Methuselah lived one hundred and eighty-seven years, and became the father of Lamech. 26Then Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years after he became the father of Lamech, and he had other sons and daughters. 27So all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years, and he died.

28Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years, and became the father of a son. 29Now he called his name Noah, saying, “This one will 4give us rest from our work and from the toil of our hands arising from 5the ground which the Lord has cursed.” 30Then Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-five years after he became the father of Noah, and he had other sons and daughters. 31So all the days of Lamech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years, and he died.

32Noah was 6five hundred years old, and Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
