New Living Translation (NLT)
Genesis 5
26 After the birth of Lamech, Methuselah lived another 782 years, and he had other sons and daughters.
27 Methuselah lived 969 years, and then he died.
28 When Lamech was 182 years old, he became the father of a son.
29 Lamech named his son Noah, for he said, “May he bring us relief from our work and the painful labor of farming this ground that the LORD has cursed.”
30 After the birth of Noah, Lamech lived another 595 years, and he had other sons and daughters.
31 Lamech lived 777 years, and then he died.
32 By the time Noah was 500 years old, he was the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
Genesis 6
1 Then the people began to multiply on the earth, and daughters were born to them.
2 The sons of God saw the beautiful women and took any they wanted as their wives.
3 Then the LORD said, “My Spirit will not put up with humans for such a long time, for they are only mortal flesh. In the future, their normal lifespan will be no more than 120 years.”
4 In those days, and for some time after, giant Nephilites lived on the earth, for whenever the sons of God had intercourse with women, they gave birth to children who became the heroes and famous warriors of ancient times.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
