BORING!

Genesis 5

Yikes, Genesis 5 is truly dull. Hard to find much in the sea of names and ages.
Here are a couple of things:

1) The temporary nature of life: Even these old timers eventually ran out of steam and left the earth. I don't get how they lived so long- but even so...their clock was ticking.

2) Enoch- the walked with God guy- lived a short (by the out of control standards of this chapter) life. Maybe the idea of being blessed with a long life doesn't have much validity.

And I'm done. Anyone have some insight on the value of geneology?

Perhaps a way to validate bilibcal facts with historical record? Perhaps a way to show that you can live a long time and still not have your named remembered? It's a chapter that's tempting to skip-

Short entry... ahhh geneology night.
