In his likeness he created them, male and female, and so on their creation’s day
He blessed them and called them Man. Now when Adam had drawn one hundred and thirty years breath,
Then he fathered a son in his own likeness, after his image, and he named him Seth.

When Enoch had lived for sixty-five years, he fathered Methuselah, and after that,
Enoch walked in God’s ways for three hundred full years, and many sons and daughters begat.
And the days of Enoch totaled three hundred sixty-five years. (Years have that many days)
Then he was no more, for God had taken him (Taken Enoch who had walked in God’s ways).

Days Methuselah lived totaled nine hundred and sixty-nine years. And then he expired.
When Lamech had lived for a full hundred and eighty-seven years, he fathered a son.
He named him Noah, saying, “We will have our sorrow relieved, comforted by this one.
All the sorrow of pain when we work with our hands, all the aches that result from our toil,
All the pain we are caused just by working the ground, because of when the Lord cursed the soil.”
After Noah’s birth, Lamech lived five hundred ninety-five years, sons and daughters he sired.
