App-14 . **him.** Emph. reference to Adam. **them,** i.e. Adam and Eve, going back to [Genesis 1:27](../../../kjv/genesis/1/27) ; [Genesis 2:7](../../../kjv/genesis/2/7) . **own.** Adam *created* in God's likeness. All his descendants *begotten* in Adam's likeness, after his Fall. See [Psalms 51:5](../../../kjv/psalms/51/5) .[Romans 5:12-19](../../../kjv/romans/5/12-19) . **Seth.** Refers back to [Genesis 4:25](../../../kjv/genesis/4/25) , and develops his line. **the days of Adam.** None of these particulars are given of Cain's line. Not even of their deaths. **begat.** If Adam begat after Seth, so doubtless others after Cain and Abel. **Enos.** See [Genesis 4:26](../../../kjv/genesis/4/26) . **Cainan** = Hebrew a possession. **Mahalaleel** = praise of God. **Jared** = descent. **Enoch** = teaching, or initiation. **Methuselah** = when he is dead it shall be sent, i.e. the Deluge. **Walked** = walked to and fro; why not literally as with Adam before the Fall? [Genesis 2:19](../../../kjv/genesis/2/19) ; [Genesis 3:8](../../../kjv/genesis/3/8) . **took him.** See [Hebrews 11:5](../../../kjv/hebrews/11/5) . Translated without dying: as Elijah was, [2 Kings 2:9](../../../kjv/2-kings/2/9) . Enoch was "the seventh from Adam" ([Jude 1:14](../../../kjv/jude/1/14) ). He prophesied "by faith". Therefore Divinely instructed, [Romans 10:17](../../../kjv/romans/10/17) . **Lamech** (powerful). **Noah** = rest, comfort, or consolation. [Genesis 8:21](../../../kjv/genesis/8/21) . **comfort us concerning** = give us rest from. **work:** should be *works* (with Samaritan Pentateuch, Septuagint, Syriac, &c). **work and toil** = grievous toil, or trouble, " *works* " reference probably to the evil deeds going on around. See [Genesis 6:3](../../../kjv/genesis/6/3) , and compare [Exodus 23:24](../../../kjv/exodus/23/24) .[Leviticus 18:3](../../../kjv/leviticus/18/3) .[Micah 6:16](../../../kjv/micah/6/16) . [Ecclesiastes 4:3](../../../kjv/ecclesiastes/4/3) .[Job 33:17](../../../kjv/job/33/17) . Probably Figure of speech *Hendiadys* ( App-6 ), for emph. = toilsome labour. **the LORD.** Hebrew. *Jehovah.* App-4 . **five.** See chronology of Patriarchs. App-22 . **begat.** See [Genesis 6:10](../../../kjv/genesis/6/10) below. **Shem, Ham, and Japheth.** Named in inverted order. Japheth was the elder ([Genesis 10:21](../../../kjv/genesis/10/21) ), Shem the youngest, and, as in other cases, the youngest chosen for the blessing. Compare the inversion of the order in [Genesis 10:1](../../../kjv/genesis/10/1) , and [Genesis 2:6](../../../kjv/genesis/2/6) , and [Genesis 2:21](../../../kjv/genesis/2/21) , and See [Genesis 11:10](../../../kjv/genesis/11/10) and note on [Genesis 9:24](../../../kjv/genesis/9/24) ; [Genesis 10:1](../../../kjv/genesis/10/1) . ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com","name":"Real Bible Believers","description":"RBB","publisher":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"potentialAction":[{"@type":"SearchAction","target":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/?s={search_term_string}","query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"ImageObject","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/genesis/5#primaryimage","inLanguage":"en-US","url":"/images/missing.jpg","contentUrl":"/images/missing.jpg","width":640,"height":370,"caption":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Genesis 5"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/genesis/5#webpage","url":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/genesis/5","name":"Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Genesis 5","isPartOf":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/commentaries/bullingers-companion-bible-notes/genesis/5#primaryimage"},"datePublished":null,"dateModified":null,"author":{"@id":"https://realbiblebelievers.com/#/schema/person/e966585dde703268e7f6ae890ea98509"},"description":"book of the generation.
