Ok!! Everyone...check this out and tell me God is not cool as all get out!!!! The problem In Genesis 5 is that these proper names are not translated for the reader from their Hebrew meanings, so you have to unravel these by digging into the meaning of the Hebrew roots that make up the names. So....Here we go!! Adam (adomah) "MAN" Seth "appointed" (Genesis 4:25) Enosh: (from root anash, "to be incurable") "mortal" "frail" "miserable" Kenan: "sorrow" "dirge" "elegy" Mahalal el: "the blessed God" (mahalal) "blessed" ; (El) the name for God. Jared: (from the verb yaradh) "shall come down" Enoch: "commencement" or "teaching" Methusaleh: "his death shall bring"...muth, a root that means "death" ; shalach means "bring" or send forth" Lamech: "despairing" (from which we get "lament" or "lamentation") Noah: (derived from nacham) "comfort or rest" (Genesis 5:29) So now we can look at the genealogy with more insight!! The sequence....Adam....Seth...Enosh...Kenan...Mahalaleel ...Jared....Enoch...Methusaleh...Lamech....Noah....Reads in English as "Man is appointed mortal sorrow; (But) the blessed God shall come down teaching that His death shall bring (the) despairing rest!!! There are several profound lessons here. First, here is a summary of the New Testament Gospel tucked away in a genealogy in the Torah. This demonstrates something you will encounter throughout all Scripture: Every detail is there by Design. It also tells us that Gods plan of redemption was not a knee jerk reaction, but that God had ordained it well before the foundation of the world!! Hallelujah!!!!!!
