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

Chapter 5Now chapter five,This is the book of the generations of Adam. [And as you read these generations of Adam and as it lists them for us] In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created. And Adam lived one hundred and twenty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth ( Genesis 5:1-3 ).So you see Adam was a hundred... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Genesis 5:19

Gen 5:19 And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters: Ver. 19. And Jared lived after he begat Enoch. ] He lived the longer, likely, for the great content he took in so good a son. Towardly and hopeful children do help to lengthen their parents’ days. God therefore lengtheneth theirs, according to that “first commandment with promise.” Eph 6:2 Or, if he take from them this long lease, he gives them, as he did Enoch, a freehold of a better value. read more
