Genesis 5:1

Genesis 5:1 says, This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;  We are told that this book, or chapter will give the genealogy of Adam, and are reminded that Adam was created by God in the image of God.  Verse two states, Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.  God created both men and women.  Verse three says, And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth:  We are not told about the birth of Cain and Abel, but of Seth when Adam was one hundred and thirty years old, and the genealogy will be followed through Seth.  Verse four states, And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:  We are told that Adam lived for eight hundred years after Seth was born, and he had more sons and daughters, about whom we have no information.  Verse five declares, And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.  Adam and Eve had not eaten of the tree of life, so after nine hundred and thirty years he died.  Physical death and suffering were a result of disobedience to God, and everlasting life with God can only be restored through our faith in Christ.  The next several verses list Seth and his descendants.  The only thing we might note is that all the descendants were not listed.  Verse six says, And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos: Verse seven adds, And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:  Verse eight concludes, And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.  Verse nine states, And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:  Verse ten adds, And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:  Verse eleven concludes,  And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died. Verse twelve states, And Cainan lived seventy years, and begat Mahalaleel:  Verse thirteen adds, And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters:  Verse fourteen concludes, And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died.  Verse fifteen states, And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:  Verse sixteen adds, And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:  Verse seventeen concludes, And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died.
