Summary
→ Timestamps:
(00:00) The book of the generations of Adam. Another way to view the long lives of the early Patriarchs. The Sumerian King List may help give context to their ages.
(11:38) A brief overview of Enoch literature. The name Mahijah in Moses 6.40 was also found on second century fragments discovered at Qumran in 1948.
(19:13) Scriptures are a book of remembrance.
(21:15) Seers see things we cannot see.
(31:54) The call narrative. Enoch’s prophetic call is consistent with elements of the narrative call pattern.
(34:44) The Plan of Salvation as taught by Adam and Enoch is the same message the Savior taught. The Atoning Messiah is central to the plan, but was removed from the Old Testament.
(49:26) Another way of understanding “children conceived in sin” in Moses 6.55. This text can be connected to the Fallen Angels or the Watchers in 1 Enoch.
(54:50) Children of Christ versus Children of Satan as portrayed in Alma 5 and its connection to Moses 6.55.
(56:19) “Man of Holiness” in Moses 6.57 can be describing God as a man of the temple or the husband of the divine woman.
(58:55) An invitation to find Jesus everywhere.

| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, welcome to Talking Scripture, a podcast where we illustrate relevance and application of the scriptures in Come Follow Me. |

| 0:23.3 | Welcome to Talking Scripture. I'm Mike. |
| 0:25.1 | And I'm Bryce. |
| 0:26.0 | And today we are going to be in Genesis 5 and Moses 6. |
| 0:30.0 | And we're going to tackle Genesis 5 and kind of a scholarly look at the genealogy of these patriarchs, because I think there's some questions that |
| 0:40.0 | we need to be aware of, and then we'll jump into the contribution of Joseph Smith, adding to, |
| 0:46.9 | and producing Moses chapter 6. Now, just a reminder as we go through this, Joseph Smith is 24, |
| 0:53.2 | almost 25 when he produces Moses chapter 6. And when you look at the |
| 0:58.3 | depth that he's producing, it's incredible. Because I would say that the contribution of Moses 6 is to put |
| 1:05.3 | the gospel, prophets, and Jesus back into the Old Testament. And we're going to see in Moses chapter 6 that from the |
| 1:14.2 | very beginning, Adam taught the role of Christ in our lives and the simplicity of the gospel. |
| 1:22.7 | So we'll get to that. But let's start with Genesis chapter 5, a lineage of the patriarchs. And they lived for |
| 1:30.8 | hundreds of years, almost a thousand years, which seems a little unusual. So Mike, what's your |
| 1:38.7 | take on that? What is your take on the age of these patriarchs? What are the different ways we can look at that? |
| 1:45.5 | Well, to start, if you go to Genesis 5, there's 10 patriarchs. It's the lineage from Adam to Noah. |
| 1:53.4 | And Adam lived 930 years. The person who lived the longest and everyone, you know, they even have a tree called the Methuselah tree, right? Methusel lived to be 969 years old. And a lot of people read this, and they do |
| 2:07.7 | take it literally. And in the show notes, we link some of the statements from some of the early |
| 2:12.4 | brethren that took it literally. But then we have a statement from James E. Talmadge, when he was an early apostle. |
| 2:18.4 | A brilliant apostle. Right. And he says that the opening chapters of Genesis and scriptures |
