Genèse 5:1 Meaning and Commentary

Genesis 5:1

This is the book of the generations of Adam
An account of persons born of him, or who descended from him by generation in the line of Seth, down to Noah, consisting of ten generations; for a genealogy of all his descendants is not here given, not of those in the line of Cain, nor of the collateral branches in the line of Seth, only of those that descended one from another in a direct line to Noah: in the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he
him;
this is repeated from ( Genesis 1:27 ) to put in mind that man is a creature of God; that God made him, and not he himself; that the first man was not begotten or produced in like manner as his sons are, but was immediately created; that his creation was in time, when there were days, and it was not on the first of these, but on the sixth; and that he was made in the likeness of God, which chiefly lay in knowledge, righteousness, and holiness, and in dominion over the creatures.

Genèse 5:1 In-Context

1 Voici le livre de la postérité d'Adam. Au jour où Dieu créa l'homme, il le fit à la ressemblance de Dieu.

2 Il les créa mâle et femelle, et il les bénit, et leur donna le nom d'Homme, au jour qu'ils furent créés.

3 Or, Adam vécut cent trente ans, et engendra un fils à sa ressemblance, selon son image, et il lui donna le nom de Seth.

4 Et les jours d'Adam, après qu'il eut engendré Seth, furent de huit cents ans; et il engendra des fils et des filles.

5 Tout le temps qu'Adam vécut, fut donc de neuf cent trente ans; puis il mourut.
