Bible Genealogy from Adam to Noah
Genesis traces the early family line from Adam through Seth to Noah, preparing the flood narrative and the restart of humanity after judgment.
Biblical Context
The genealogy in Genesis 5 is more than a list of names. It shows life continuing after Eden while repeatedly reminding readers of death. The line moves toward Noah, whose name is tied to comfort and whose life becomes central in the flood story.
