Frequently Asked Questions

What is the genealogy in Genesis chapter 5?
Genesis 5 traces the line from Adam to Noah, listing each patriarch's age at the birth of his named son, his remaining years, and total lifespan, ending with Noah and his three sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
What happened to Enoch in Genesis 5?
Verses 21-24 say Enoch 'walked with God' for 300 years after fathering Methuselah and then simply 'was not; for God took him' — he is the only person in the chapter who doesn't end with 'and he died.' Hebrews 11:5-6 reflects on this.
How old was Methuselah when he died?
Verse 27 gives Methuselah's total lifespan as 969 years, the longest of anyone listed in the chapter.
