Genesis 5:17 meaning and explanation
So Mahalalel lived a total of 895 years, and then he died.
Genesis 5:17, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Genesis 5 is a genealogy, a structured list tracing the line from Adam to Noah. Verses 15 and 16 introduce Mahalalel, son of Kenan, and verse 17 closes his entry with the same formula used for every man in the chapter: the total years, then the refrain "and then he died." The repetition is deliberate.
