#Genesis
#Noah
#Lamech

A regular show hosted by #GregStafford with new videos uploaded or premiering most weekdays and Saturdays, followed by a separate Sunday show. Our Day Text videos are about 20-60 minutes long. We discuss biblical and other ancient documents which are grouped together for the discussion, as we progressively work our way through biblical and related texts.

This show is about Genesis 5:28-32 from translations of both the Hebrew (H) and Greek (G) texts:

(H) 5:28 When Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years, then he brought forth a son.
(G) 5:28 Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-eight years. Then he brought forth a son.

(H) 5:29 Then he began to call his name “Noah,” meaning to say, “This one will comfort us from our works and from the hard labor of our hands because of the ground which Jaho(h)-ah has cursed [compare Genesis 3:17 and 4:11].”
(G) 5:29 Lamech called the name of his son “Noe,” saying, “This one will relieve us from our works and from the pains of our hands and from the land which Lord God [Jaho(h)-ah] cursed.”

(H) 5:30 After he brought forth Noah, Lamech continued to live for five hundred and ninety-five years and he continued to bring forth sons and daughters.
(G) 5:30 After he brought forth Noah, Lamech lived five hundred and sixty-five years and he brought forth more sons and daughters.

(H) 5:31 So all the days of Lamech came to be seven hundred and seventy-seven years. Then he died.
(G) 5:31 All the days of Lamech became seven hundred and fifty-three years, and he died.

(H) 5:32 When Noah became a son of five hundred years, Noah brought forth Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
(G) 5:32 Noah was five hundred years old and he brought forth three sons named Sem, Cham, and Iapheth.
