Berean Standard Bible

“This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in His own likeness.”

Genesis 5:1

Study note

Genesis is organized around a series of headings that introduce family records, and this verse opens one of them: the written account of Adam's line. It begins a genealogy that runs from Adam to Noah across ten generations, with each name marked by a birth, a long life and, again and again, a death.
