A reading from the book of Genesis.

This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God.

Male and female, he created them, and he blessed them and named them man when they were created.

When Adam had lived 130 years, he fathered the son in his own likeness, after his image, and named

him Seth. The days of Adam after he fathered Seth were 800 years, and he had other sons and daughters.

Thus all the days that Adam lived were 930 years, and he died. When Seth had lived 105 years, he fathered

Enoch. Seth lived after he fathered

Enoch seven years and had other sons and daughters. Thus all the days of Seth were 912 years

and he died. When Enoch had lived 90 years, he fathered Keenan. Enoch lived after he fathered

Keenan 815 years and had other sons and daughters. Thus all the days of

Enosh were 905 years and he died. When Keenan had lived 70 years, he fathered Mahalal. Kenan lived

after he fathered Mahalala 840 years and had other sons and daughters. Thus all the days of

Kenan were 910 years, and he died.

When Mahalalal had lived 65 years, he fathered Jared. Mahalalel lived after he fathered Jared

830 years, and had other sons and daughters. Thus all the days of Mahalalel were 895 years, and he died.

When Jared had lived 162 years, he fathered Enoch.

Jared lived after he fathered Enoch, 800 years, and had other sons and daughters.

Thus all the days of Jared were 962 years, and he died. When Enoch had lived 65 years, he fathered

Methuselah. Enok walked with God after he fathered

Methuselah 300 years and had other sons and daughters. Thus all the days of Enoch were 365

years. Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him. When Methuselah had lived 187

years he fathered Lamec. Methuselah lived after he fathered Lamek 782 years and had other sons and daughters.
