Genesis 5:18 says, And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:  Verse nineteen states, And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:  Verse twenty adds, And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.  Verse twenty-one states, And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:  Then verse twenty-two declares,  And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:  We are told that Enoch walked with God.  I believe that Enoch had a very close personal spiritual relationship with God, and not that he walked with God physically.  Verse twenty-three states, And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:  Then verse twenty-four proclaims, And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.  Enoch is one of only two people who thee Bible tells us never died.  When Enoch was three-hundred and sixty-five years old, God took him on to heaven.  Verse twenty-five states, And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech:  Verse twenty-six adds, And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:  Then verse twenty-seven adds, And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.  The only thing of significance about Methuselah is that he lived longer than anyone else listed in the Bible.  Verse twenty-eight says, And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:  Verse twenty-nine states, And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed.  We are told that Noah was to be a comfort to the people, but he became the one through whom mankind would be physically saved.  Verse thirty adds, And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:  Verse thirty-one concludes, And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.  Verse thirty two states, And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.  Instead of one son, three sons of Noah are named.
