Genesis 5 · Grade 3
A Family Line of Faith
Read the Story
Genesis 5 traces the family line from Adam to Noah. Adam had a son named Seth, made in Adam's likeness. The list goes on: Seth, Enosh, Kenan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methuselah, Lamech, and Noah. These men lived very long lives.
Most of the list repeats a pattern: a man lived, had sons and daughters, and then he died. Death had come into the world, just as God warned in Genesis 3.
But Enoch is different. Twice the chapter says that Enoch walked with God. Then he was not found, because God took him. Enoch did not die like the others. Methuselah, Enoch's son, lived longer than anyone else in the list. Lamech named his son Noah and hoped he would bring comfort from the hard work caused by the curse.
