This excerpt from Genesis details the lineage of humanity from Adam to Noah, noting that God initially created humans in his likeness. It then chronologically lists each patriarch's age at the birth of his named son, their subsequent lifespan, and their total years lived, ending with the observation that all these early figures eventually died, with the exception of Enoch, who was taken by God. The passage highlights the birth of Noah and Lamech's hope that his son would provide comfort from the cursed ground. Finally, it mentions Noah having three sons after he turned 500 years old.
