²¹When Enoch had lived sixty-five years, he became the father of Methuselah.^{* 22}Enoch walked with God after the birth of Methuselah three hundred years and had other sons and daughters. ²³Thus all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty-five years. ²⁴Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him.^*

²⁵When Methuselah had lived one hundred eighty-seven years, he became the father of Lamech. ²⁶Methuselah lived after the birth of Lamech seven hundred eighty-two years and had other sons and daughters.^{* 27}Thus all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty-nine years, and he died.

²⁸When Lamech had lived one hundred eighty-two years, he became the father of a son; ²⁹he named him Noah, saying, “Out of the ground that the Lord has cursed this one shall bring us relief from our work and from the toil of our hands.”^{* 30}Lamech lived after the birth of Noah five hundred ninety-five years and had other sons and daughters. ³¹Thus all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy-seven years, and he died.

³²After Noah was five hundred years old, Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.^*
