Welcome back to Through the Bible, where we continue reading the Word of God in the King James Version. Today, we come to Genesis chapter 5.

At first glance, this chapter may seem different from what we’ve read so far. Instead of narrative, we are given a genealogy—a record of generations from Adam onward. But within these names and years, there is a deeper message.

Genesis chapter 5 traces the line of Adam through his descendants, showing the continuation of life after the fall. Each name represents a generation, a story, a life lived under the reality of a changed world.

As you listen, you will notice a repeating phrase: “and he died.” This steady rhythm reminds us of the consequence introduced in Genesis chapter 3. Death has entered the world, and it touches every generation.

Yet even here, there is hope. In the middle of this genealogy, we encounter Enoch—a man who walked with God, and was not, for God took him. His life stands out as a powerful reminder that even in a fallen world, a close relationship with God is possible.

You will also hear the name Noah introduced, pointing forward to what is coming next. This chapter quietly prepares us for the events that will follow.

Take a moment to reflect as you listen. Genesis chapter 5 is more than a list—it is a record of humanity, mortality, and the ongoing story of God’s plan.

Now, let us continue.
