Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 5:6-20

6-20 Concerning each of these, except Enoch, it is said, "and he died." It is well to observe the deaths of others. They all lived very long; not one of them died till he had seen almost eight hundred years, and some of them lived much longer; a great while for an immortal soul to be prisoned in a house of clay. The present life surely was not to them such a burden as it commonly is now, else they would have been weary of it. Nor was the future life so clearly revealed then, as it now under the... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Genesis 5:1-16

Gen_5:1 Gen_7:16 . Another section of Genesis starts with Genesis 5.0 , the preface to it being found in verses Gen_5:1 and 2. Herein the unity of the human race is again stressed, for though Adam called his wife's name Isha (Genesis 2: 26) and then Eve ( Gen_3:20 ) God blessed them and called t heir name Adam from the outset. So Eve too was Adam jointly with her husband. This is not surprising, when we remember that the relationship of husband and wife was designed of God as a type of Christ... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Genesis 5:1-8

From Adam to Seth v. 1. This is the book of the generations of Adam. This Chapter presents a short summary of the history of the believing Adamites in the form of a genealogical table, with a few explanatory notes. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made He him; v. 2. male and female created he them, and called their name Adam in the day when they were created. The author here goes back to the history of the creation, Genesis 1:27-Hosea :. God created man male and... read more

THIRD SECTIONAdam and Seth.—The Sethites or Macrobii (the long-lived).—The living Worship and the Blessing of the Life-renewing in the Line of the Sons of God Genesis 5:1-32 (compare 1 Chronicles 1:1-4)1This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him. 2Male and female created he them; and blessed them and called their name Adam [man] in the day when they were created. 3And Adam lived a hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Genesis 5:1-24

Posterity of Adam Genesis 5:1-24 In contrast to Cain’s line in the previous chapter, we have Seth’s in this. Note the curious similarity in the names, as though the Cainites professed all that the Sethites held, but lacked the reality and power. There have always been these two families in the world, tares and wheat, goats and sheep. This is an old-world cemetery; we walk among old monuments with time-worn inscriptions. Though the Sethites were God-fearers, they were tinged with Adam’s sin. ... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Genesis 5:1-32

In this chapter we have a condensed account of fifteen centuries in human history. The ruin of the race had come through man's belief in the devil's lie. "Ye shall not surely die." The repetition throughout the chapter of the sentence, "And he died," indicates the vindication of God against the lie of the devil. The chapter with its account of the ages of these men is of value as it reveals how early history was preserved. Adam was yet alive when Methuselah was born, and Methuselah was yet... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 5:1-32

The History of and Genealogy of Noah (Genesis 5:1 a - Genesis 6:9 ) (TABLET III) This section commences with a list of ten patriarchs from Adam to Noah, and is followed by a passage where God makes a covenant with man after a particularly devastating example of man’s downward slide. As always in Genesis this covenant is the central point around which the passage is built. The passage ends with the colophon ‘these are the histories of Noah’. This mixture of genealogy and history is a... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 5:3-32

‘When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, after his image, and named him Seth. The days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters. Thus all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died.’ This is the pattern for the whole genealogy with the partial exception of Enoch. We have here, repeated again and again, the formula ‘became the father of, lived... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Genesis 5:1-32

Genesis 5:1-Jonah : . Sethite Genealogy of Antediluvians.— With the exception of Genesis 5:29 this comes from P, as is clear from the style, each statement being cast in the same mould, and the whole forming a mere catalogue of names and dates. There is a striking divergence between the Heb., Sam., and LXX figures, the period from the Creation to the Flood being reckoned as 1656, 1307, and 2242 (a variant yields 2262) years respectively. The question is very complex; here the editor’ s view... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Genesis 5:1-32

CRITICAL NOTES.—Notwithstanding the measure of difficulty standing in the way of ascertaining the meaning of the proper names of Scripture, the subject cannot be wisely neglected: what we do know is every now and then most striking and suggestive; and what we do not know, and with existing appliances cannot learn, occasionally possesses an interest almost amounting to fascination. We know enough to feel intensely curious to know more. In fact, these old names have the charm of fossils—they were... read more
