Genesis5

Genesis chapter 5 presents the genealogical record from Adam to Noah, detailing the lineage of the patriarchs. It consistently lists their ages at the birth of their primary son, their subsequent years, and their total lifespans, concluding with the phrase "and he died." A notable exception is Enoch, who "walked with God" and was taken by God without experiencing death.
