Genesis 5:8, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Genesis 5 is a genealogy, a structured list tracing the line from Adam to Noah. The narrator is recounting Seth's life in the same pattern used for every patriarch: his age at fathering Enosh, the years that followed, other sons and daughters, then a total and the refrain "and then he died." Seth, named in verse 3 as the son born in Adam's likeness after Abel's death, lived 912 years.
