(<a href="/genesis/5-10.htm">Genesis 5:10</a>)<br><br><b>Context and Analysis:</b> <br><a href="/genesis/5-10.htm">Genesis 5:10</a> is part of the genealogical record found in <a href="/bsb/genesis/5.htm">Genesis 5</a>, which traces the lineage from Adam through his son Seth to Noah. This chapter is often referred to as the "Book of the Generations of Adam." It serves as a bridge between the creation narrative and the account of Noah and the Flood, highlighting the continuity of God's creation through successive generations.<br><br><b>Seth and Enosh:</b> <br>Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve, is a significant figure in biblical history. After the tragic events involving Cain and Abel, Seth's birth is seen as a renewal of hope and a continuation of the godly line. <a href="/genesis/4-26.htm">Genesis 4:26</a> notes that during the time of Enosh, people began to call upon the name of the LORD, indicating a revival or strengthening of worship and devotion to God.<br><br><b>Longevity and Lineage:</b> <br>The extended lifespans recorded in <a href="/bsb/genesis/5.htm">Genesis 5</a>, including Seth's 807 years after the birth of Enosh, have been the subject of much discussion and interpretation. These long lifespans are often understood as a reflection of the early, pristine conditions of creation, before the full effects of sin and the curse had taken hold. They also underscore the importance of each generation in the unfolding of God's redemptive plan.<br><br><b>Theological Significance:</b> <br>The genealogies in <a href="/bsb/genesis/5.htm">Genesis 5</a> are not merely historical records; they carry theological weight. They emphasize the faithfulness of God in preserving a lineage through which His promises would be fulfilled. This lineage ultimately leads to Noah, through whom God would preserve humanity and creation during the Flood, and eventually to Jesus Christ, the promised Messiah.<br><br><b>Application:</b> <br><a href="/genesis/5-10.htm">Genesis 5:10</a>, like the rest of the genealogical record, reminds believers of the importance of faithfulness across generations. It encourages reflection on one's own role in the continuation of faith and the transmission of God's truth to future generations. The verse also serves as a testament to God's enduring presence and purpose throughout human history.<br><br><b>Conclusion:</b> <br><a href="/genesis/5-10.htm">Genesis 5:10</a>, while brief, is a vital link in the biblical narrative, connecting the early patriarchs to the broader story of redemption. It highlights the themes of continuity, faithfulness, and divine purpose, encouraging believers to trust in God's sovereign plan across the ages.<a name="cnc" id="cnc"></a><div class="vheading">Concordance</div><span class="encheading">815 (1 Occurrence)</span><p><span class="rtext"><a href="/genesis/5-10.htm">Genesis 5:10</a></span><br />Enosh lived after he became the father of Kenan, eight hundred fifteen years, and became the father of sons and daughters.<br /><span class="source">(See NIV)</span><a name="thes" id="thes"></a><div class="vheading2">Thesaurus</div><a href="/topical/num/815.htm"><span class="l"><b>815</b> (1 Occurrence)</span></a><br><b>...</b> Multi-Version Concordance <b>815</b> (1 Occurrence).
