Happy Mother's Day

Genesis 1:28 says: Be fruitful and multiply...

Genesis 4:1 & 2a says: Now Adam made love with his wife, Eve, and she conceived and gave birth to Cain, and she said, "I have gotten a manchild with the help of the LORD. And again, she gave birth to his brother Abel.

Genesis 4:20 says: And Adah gave birth to Jabal ...vs.21 and his brother's name was Jubal. vs 22 Zillah gave birth to Tubal-cain, the forger of all implements of bronze and iron; and the sister of Tubal-cain was Naamah.

Genesis 4:25 And Adam made love with his wife again; and she gave birth to a son, and named him Seth, for she said, "God has appointed me another offspring in place of Abel; for Cain murdered him." vs 26 And to Seth, to him also a son was born; and he called his name Enosh. Then men began to call upon the name of the LORD.

Genesis 5 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day when God created man, He made him in the likeness of God. he created them male and female, and He blessed them and named them Man in the day when they were created. When Adam had lived one hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth. Then the days of Adam after he became the father of Seth were eight hundred years, and he had other sons and daughters. So all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years, and he died. And Seth lived one hundred and five years, and became the father of Enosh. Then Seth lived eight hundred and seven years after he became the father of Enosh, and he had other sons and daughters. So all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years, and he died. And Enosh lived ninety years, and became the father of Kenan. Then Enosh lived eight hundred and fifteen years after he became the father of Kenan, and he had other sons and daughters. So all the days of Enosh were nine hundred and five years, and he died. And Kenan lived seventy years, and became the father of Mahalalel. Then Kenan lived eight hundred and forty years after he became the father of Mahalalel, and he ahd other sons and daughters. So all the days of Kenana were nine hundred and ten years, and he died. And Mahalalel lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Jared. Then Mahalalel lived eight hundred and thirty years after he became the father of Jared, and he had other sons and daughters. So all the days of Mahalalel were eight hundred and ninety-five years, and he died. And Jared lived one hundred and sixty-two years, and became the father of Enoch. Then Jared lived eight hundred years after he became the father of Enoch, and he had other sons and daughters. So all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years and he died. And Enoch lived sixty-five years, and became the father of Methuselah. Then Enoch walked with God three hundred years after he became the father of Methuselah, and he had other sons and daughters. So all the days of Enoch were three hundred and sixty-five years. And Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him. And Methuselah lived one hundred and eight-seven years, and became the father of Lamech. Then Methuselah lived seven hundred and eighty-two years after he became the father of Lamaech, and he had other sons and daughters. So all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred and sixty-nine years, and he died. And Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years, and became the father of a son. Now he called his name Noah, saying, "This one shall give us rest from our work and from the toil of our hands arising from the ground with the LORD has cursed." Then Lamech lived five hundred and ninety-five years after he became the father of Noah, and he ahd other sons and daughters. So all the days of Lamaech were seven hundred and seventy-seven years, and he died. And Noah was five hundred years old, and Noah became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Happy Father's Day, too.

This fun to graph. And in graphing, you realize that Seth was 700 years old when his own father died. He would live another 115 years. Math question: When Adam died, how many generations were making babies?

Methuselah outlived his own son by five years? When Methuselah died, God shut Noah and his family in the ark, and flooded the earth. So, since we are given Adam's age and Methuselah's age, and Noah's age, it is pretty easy to figure out what year the flood happened. We are not told that Methuselah drowned. I believe he died and was buried.
