Genesis 5:3-4

5:3 When Adam had lived 130 years he fathered a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and he named him Seth. 5:4 The length of time Adam lived after he became the father of Seth was 800 years; during this time he had other sons and daughters.


tn Heb “and Adam lived 130 years.” In the translation the verb is subordinated to the following verb, “and he fathered,” and rendered as a temporal clause.

tn Heb “The days of Adam.”

tn Heb “he fathered.”

tn The word “other” is not in the Hebrew text, but is supplied for stylistic reasons.
