Genesis 5

This chapter provides a concise genealogy from Adam to Noah, establishing the biblical timeline before the Great Flood. It features the incredibly long lifespans of the patriarchs, many living for over 900 years, and includes the remarkable story of Enoch, who ""walked with God"" and was taken by Him without experiencing death. The repeated phrase, ""and then he died,"" serves as a constant reminder of the judgment of sin pronounced in Eden, emphasizing the steady march toward the coming judgment under Noah.
