- Does Genesis 5:1 indicate that this is a second or third description of the origin of humanity?
- What is meant by the phrase “and called their name Adam in the day of their creation” – is this an indication of parity?
- Genesis 5:3 makes no reference to Cain and Abel; why?
- Other than the genealogy beginning with Genesis 5:3-21, is there any other information provided?
- And in Genesis 5:21, what is meant by the phrase “and Enoch made himself walk with God”?
- The same phrase is utilized in Genesis 5:24 but with an entirely different “conclusion”. What is meant by “for God took him,” quite different from the verb forms used before which are “and he died”?
- In Genesis 5:29, Lamekh is quoted in terms of naming his son Noah in order that “this child will give us consolation from our sorrow as a result of the cursing of the earth by God”; what curse?
