创世记 5:6 RCUVSS

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Genesis 5:1-32

1. The effects of the curse on humanity ch. 5There are at least three purposes for the inclusion of this genealogy, which contains 10 paragraphs (Genesis 5:1-32).1. It shows the development of the human race from Adam to Noah and bridges the gap in time between these two major individuals. One writer argued that the ages of these patriarchs were inflated to glorify them. [Note: R. K. Harrison, "From Adam to Noah: A Reconsideration of the Antediluvian Patriarchs’ Ages," Journal of the... read more

John Dummelow's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 5:1-32

The Descendants of Adam to NoahThe purpose of the historian in giving the names and ages of the antediluvian Patriarchs was, no doubt, to show the glorious ancestry of the chosen race, and to account for the period between the Creation and the Flood. This, according to the Hebrews, was 1656 years. (See on Genesis 10:32.) Various attempts have been made to explain the great ages attributed to these Patriarchs, but they are purely conjectural, and the view now generally held is that the Hebrews,... read more

Enoch Genesis 5:24 The character of Enoch is the point on which attention is fixed. He 'walked with God,' he 'pleased God'. I. What is Implied in this Description? ( a ) Agreement. 'Can two walk together except they be agreed?' Man naturally is at enmity with God, averse to Him, disliking His law. This enmity must be destroyed. There is no peace with the wicked, and as the first requisite to walking with God obedience is required. ( b ) Intimate Communion. Agreement in aim and purpose is... read more

THE FLOODGenesis 5:1-32; Genesis 6:1-22; Genesis 7:1-24; Genesis 8:1-22; Genesis 9:1-29THE first great event which indelibly impressed itself on the memory of the primeval world was the Flood. There is every reason to believe that this catastrophe was co-extensive with the human population of the world. In every branch of the human family traditions of the event are found. These traditions need not be recited, though some of them bear a remarkable likeness to the Biblical story, while others... read more

5:6 And {d} Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:(d) He proves Adam’s generation by those who came from Seth, to show the true Church, and also what care God had over the same from the beginning, in that he continued his graces toward it by a continual succession. read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 5:1-32

THE FAMILY OF ADAM - THROUGH SETH This chapter is called "the book of the genealogy of Adam" (v.1). However, the line of Cain is omitted and only the line of Seth included. The reason for this is indicated in this verse: "in the day that God created man, He made him in the likeness of God." But Cain, through his rebellion, lost that likeness, therefore only the line of Seth was recognized as "sons of God," while the women of Cain's line were called "the daughters of men" (Genesis 6:2). ... read more

THE STREAM OF HUMANITY DIVIDED TWO KINDS OF WORSHIPPERS (Genesis 4:1-8 ) What were the occupations of these brothers? What does the name of God in (Genesis 4:3 bring to mind from our second lesson? We are not told how God showed respect for Abel’s offering and disrespect for Cain’s, but possibly, as on later occasions, fire may have come out from before the Lord (i.e., in this case from between the cherubim) to consume the one in token of its acceptance. A more important question is why... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Genesis 5:1-32

Nobodyism Gen 5:1 This fifth chapter of the book of Genesis is the beginning of that long series of chapters in human history which are extremely uninteresting. What do we know about Seth, Enos, Cainan, Mahalaleel, and Jared? We know nothing and we care nothing, for they left no memorial behind them that shows their quality or excites our interest. You must have already noticed that this chapter is as true as any chapter in human history, especially as it shows so clearly, what we ourselves... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Genesis 5:4-20

And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died. In passing hastily over so many verses, and which contains so many ages, in the lives of the patriarchs, we have reason to be humbled in the reflection, and to feel the full force of the prophet's words, All flesh is grass. But it is worthy observation, at the same time, how express the Holy Ghost is, in so particularly enumerating the holy seed, while that of the ungodly is so shortly noticed, and so speedily ended.... read more
