Genesis 5
The passage describes the lineage of Adam, listing the descendants from Adam to Noah, including their ages at the time of the birth of their sons and the total number of years they lived. Each descendant is mentioned along with the years they lived after the birth of their son, and the total years of their life. Enoch is noted for walking with God and being taken by God without dying. The passage concludes with Lamech's son Noah, who is born when Lamech is 182 years old, and Noah's sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth are born when Noah is 500 years old.
