The lineage represented in Genesis 5 are the leading righteous figures before the flood. The names of these men can teach us about the working of God in a world much like our own, growing increasingly dark as judgment approaches.
Food for thought from the recorded discussion
Why is the first verse in this genealogy? What does this chapter tell you?
Most of the patriarchs had their first son before their 200th birthday. Why did Noah wait 500 years?
What is the prophecy of Noah?
How did these men obtain their names?
Why does the letter called Jude in the Apostolic Writings mention that Khanokh (Enoch) was the seventh from Adam (Jude 14)?
Why aren’t Cain or Abel mentioned in this chapter?
Who was Shet (Seth) (Gen. 4:24-26)? Why did Eve name him what she did? What Eve say about Shet? What does it mean when it says that Shet’s descendants were the first to “call upon the name of the LORD”? What does the name Shet mean? How did Eve know these things?
What does Mahahal’el mean? (See a use of the word mahalal in Prov. 27:21.)
What does Khanokh mean? How is Khanokh unique among these righteous descendants of Shet (Gen. 5:24; Heb. 11:5)?
Why does it tell us twice that Khanokh “walked” with God? Where did God take Khanokh?
Who is the probable scribe of this line?
What happened to Metushaleh (Methusaleh)?
What did Lamech say about Noakh? Where did the name Noakh originate (Gen. 5:29)?
Why are the ages of the righteous line (i.e., ancestors of Yeshua through Miriam) in this chapter noted, but the ages of the line of Cain are not recorded? Why?
How was Khanokh “translated” (Gen. 5:24; cf. Heb. 7:12 and Jude 4)? What death was God protect Khanokh from experiencing — His own death or the carnage of the flood?
