Read Genesis 5 1-5 - 13:50

• Connects this genealogy to the creation narrative

• Created in God’s likeness

• Created them male and female

• He blessed them

• He named them (authority and ultimate Father)

• The intent still continues, even though not as originally designed

• Genealogy Formula

• Person lived a number of years

• Person father and Person

• Person lived another number of years

• Person has other sons and daughters

• Person died

• Replay of the end of Ch 4 (Framed by Cain’s Line)

• Adam’s own likeness and own image (passing down)

• See the Blessing

• See the hope (points back to Gen 3:15?)

• There are others out there (1 baby mama as far as we can see)

• See the Consequence of sin (‘,and he died’)

Read Genesis 5 6-14 - 18:12

• Formula followed until Enoch

• Additional information on Enoch (Walked with God)

• To walk with God is to have communion or intimacy with God

• Walk in New Testament generally means conduct that springs from a intimacy with God

• There is an outcome for Enoch walking with God

• Missing the refrain that every other person has (‘,and he died’)

• Somehow the punishment of being returned to ground missed Enoch

• No information given as to what happened exactly

• He was and he was not

• Lifespan of ONLY 365 years, is not a punishment for sin (his walk reiterated)

Read Genesis 5 15-24 - 20:35

• Methuselah the longest living called out (969 years)

• Lamech (not the same one) fathers a son with a hope (look at the song and the prayer)

• Indicates the continued impacts of the curse on the ground from the fall

• Indicates the hardship that is felt due to the curse

• Seeking relief form the pain and toil that work now requires

• Anticipating and hoping that his son offers relief from that painful toil (Gen 3:15?)

Read Genesis 5 25-32 - 23:35

• The formula is not fully applied to Noah

• Some indication that we are expecting to more of Noah

• Not just one son mentioned, but all have been mentioned

• All this takes us from Adam and Seth to the next major player in the Story of God and man
