Read Genesis 5.1--17. In 5.1-32: Ten Generations from Adam and Eve to Noah. This list of ten generations links the story of Adam and Eve (Gen 2-4) with the next major character and story, Noah and the flood (Gen 6-9). Such genealogies, or family trees, occur at important transition points throughout Genesis (from Adam and Eve to Noah--5.1-32 from Noah's son Shem to Abraham --11.10-26; the descendants of Abraham's grandson Jacob--46.8-27). In verse 3: Adam has a son Seth who is in his likeness, according to his image. These same words are used for the first humans before the disobedient act in the garden of Eden (1.26-27; 5.1). The human's sin did not erase God's image from them as it passes on to the next generation (9.6). Comments or Questions..
