The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? the Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Let's read the entire bible, one chapter at a time.

Genesis V

1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;

2 Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created.

3 And Adam lived an hundred and thirty years, and begat a son in his own likeness, and after his image; and called his name Seth:

4 And the days of Adam after he had begotten Seth were eight hundred years: and he begat sons and daughters:

5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

6 And Seth lived an hundred and five years, and begat Enos:

7 And Seth lived after he begat Enos eight hundred and seven years, and begat sons and daughters:

8 And all the days of Seth were nine hundred and twelve years: and he died.

9 And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:

10 And Enos lived after he begat Cainan eight hundred and fifteen years, and begat sons and daughters:

11 And all the days of Enos were nine hundred and five years: and he died.

12 And Cainan lived seventy years and begat Mahalaleel:

13 And Cainan lived after he begat Mahalaleel eight hundred and forty years, and begat sons and daughters:

14 And all the days of Cainan were nine hundred and ten years: and he died.

15 And Mahalaleel lived sixty and five years, and begat Jared:

16 And Mahalaleel lived after he begat Jared eight hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters:

17 And all the days of Mahalaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died.

18 And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:

19 And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

20 And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died.

21 And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah:

22 And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:

23 And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years:

24 And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.

25 And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech.

26 And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters:

27 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.

28 And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:

29 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.

30 And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:

31 And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died.

32 And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Notes

Since this is a genealogy Chapter, there isn't much to say except, do you think people really lived this long in times before the flood?

I tried to find other examples of longivity in other cultures. The ancient Greeks believed in the five ages of men where men historically had much longer lifespans. The Hindu Yuga also says something similar.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuga#Characteristics_of_each_Yuga

I've been looking for similar examples in other cultures. I heard of Inuit stories of people living a very long time before a flood but can't find the source right now

What do we think about those crazily long lifespans? The world physically being less "fallen" so the material bodies degenerating a lot slower (assuming you believe the Fall caused damage to the world as ourselves)?

It's been theorized that the human genome hadn't accumulated so many bad mutations yet. That's what I think, anyway.


afdcc2  No.719619

>>719617

Seems a reasonable theory. It's definitely a gradual process, Moses and Joshua etc lived a bit longer than normal still.

Note how much older Noah was when he had his first son. That seems to be the point where lifespans began to be much shorter.

There are over a thousand chapters in the bible. To post a chapter a day will take over three years. Are you prepared for this?


3d571d  No.719812

>>719800

Dont know but might as well make a start of it and see how far I get. Hopefully someone else will take over if for some reason I can't continue


afdcc2  No.720532

>>719621

Did Methuselah die in the flood? Wow, how old would he have gotten otherwise??


300706  No.720590

>>720532

Nope the flood began when he died. His name literally means "his death shall bring"

That's based off botched edits by the Masoretic text fyi. They made Shem outlive his own descendants to create the idea that he lived until the time of his distant descendant Abraham. And to this day they teach that Shem was actually Melchizedek the whole time.

Why do this? Because they live or die based off of Temple doctrine and the Levitical priesthood. And the Epistle of Hebrews crushed both of these, by saying Jesus was the new High Priest in the order of Melchizedek, who had no father or mother, and was greater than Levi (for Levi vicariously submitted to Melchizedek since he was in Abraham's loins).

One little edit changed everything: Now that Shem is actually Melchizedek in Jewish teaching, it means he was the start of the Levitical priesthood and invalidates Jesus' claim to high priest.

Here's your daily lesson on how insidious the Jews are.

Also, sorry for derailing. This would properly be under a discussion of Genesis 11 rather than Genesis 5.
