  • Summary

  • Genesis 5 is one of those chapters people tend to read through pretty quickly. It’s a genealogy chapter. It’s a list of names: so and so the son of so and so, so and so begat so and so.

    Not only that, it’s a list of names of people from Adam to Noah. Why do we need a genealogy of people from Adam to Noah? The genealogy is gonna reset at Noah anyway. This seems extra.

    And yet, if you stop and smell the roses, you’re going to read about one guy in Genesis 5 who stands out above the rest.

    Genesis 5:21-24

    21 When Enoch had lived 65 years, he fathered Methuselah. 22 Enoch walked with God after he fathered Methuselah 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 23 Thus all the days of Enoch were 365 years. 24 Enoch walked with God, and he was not, for God took him.

    Enoch walked with God, and he was not. Was not what? That’s a weird sentence. Enoch walked with God, and he was not…for God took him.

    What’s going on in this verse? I find it to be weird, and I’d like to explore why it’s in the Bible.

    Turn to Genesis 5, and let’s get weird.
