6 When Seth had lived 105 years, he fathered Enosh. 7 Seth lived after he fathered Enosh 807 years  8  All the days of Seth were 912 years.

18 When Jared had lived 162 years, he fathered Enoch. 19 Jared lived after he fathered Enoch 800 years .20  All the days of Jared were 962 years.

 

21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he fathered Methuselah. 22 Enoch walked with God[b] after he fathered Methuselah 300 years. 23 Thus all the days of Enoch were 365 years. 24 Enoch walked with God, and he was not,[c] for God took him.

 

25 When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he fathered Lamech. 26 Methuselah lived after he fathered Lamech 782 years. 27 All the days of Methuselah were 969 years.

 

28 When Lamech had lived 182 years, he fathered a son 29 and called his name Noah, saying, “Out of the ground that the LORD has cursed, this one shall bring us relief[d] from our work and from the painful toil of our hands.” 30 Lamech lived after he fathered Noah 595 years. 31 Thus all the days of Lamech were 777 years.

 

32 After Noah was 500 years old, Noah fathered Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
