The Genealogy of Genesis 5

I first heard of this from yesterday morning's sermon at York Baptist Church.

Hebrew (English)

Adam (Man)
Seth (Appointed)
Enosh (Mortal, Frail)
Kenan (Sorrow)
Mahalalel (The Blessed God)
Jared (Shall come down)
Enoch (Teaching)
Methuselah (His death shall bring)
Lamech (The despairing)
Noah (Rest, or comfort)

From Adam to Noah, man was appointed to walk with God, but sinned and became mortal, frail, causing sorrow. Yet the Blessed God shall come down, teaching, and His death shall bring the despairing rest, or comfort.
