Verš 1
This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;
Gn 1:26 - And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Gn 9:6 - Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
1Kor 11:7 - For a man indeed ought not to cover his head, forasmuch as he is the image and glory of God: but the woman is the glory of the man.

Gn 5,1 - "Zoznam", hebr. séfer, značí síce v prvom rade ,knihu', ale aj akýkoľvek ,menší spis, záznam', teda aj ,zoznam'.
Gn 5,2-32 - V rodostrome Setitovcov od Adama až po Lamecha, otca Noemovho, je desať generácií. Udané sú roky tých mužov, čo predstavovali jednotlivé generácie. Na prvý pohľad by sa teda zdalo, že ľahko možno určiť čas od stvorenia sveta do potopy sveta, od Adama po Noema. Stačilo by sčítať celkové roky desiatich predstaviteľov spomenutých generácii a došli by sme k presnému poznaniu času od stvorenia prvého človeka až po potopu sveta. Treba si však uvedomiť, že svätopiscovi nešlo tak o určenie času, o chronológiu, ako skôr o to, aby poukázal na pôvod jednotlivých rodín od Adama po Noema, potom od Noema po Abraháma a napokon od Abraháma po Jakuba a izraelský národ; v tomto národe sa vyplní protoevanjelium, ktoré sa medzičasom znova a znova prísľubom Božím potvrdzuje. Na dokázanie tohto faktu stačí uviesť, že v Svätom písme sú genealógie na niektorých miestach neúplné, nezhodujú sa ani v menách (Mt 1,8 n.; 1 Krn 3,10 n. atď.). Preto právom možno predpokladať, že v rodostrome sú vynechané niektoré generácie, ako keby v reťazi vypadli niektoré ohnivká. – O mimoriadne dlhom veku patriarchov možno povedať iba toľko, že ho nachádzame len v najstaršej vrstve Pentateuchu, kde sa s obľubou narába so symbolickými číslami, ktoré my už dnes nerozriešime. Babylonské záznamy uvádzajú pri starých kráľoch ešte oveľa vyšší vek.
Gn 5,21-24 - Henoch sa líši od ostatných patriarchov tým, že jeho život je znateľne kratší, počet jeho rokov sa dokonale zhoduje s počtom dní slnečného roku, Písmo o ňom hovorí, že "chodil s Bohom", ako neskôr o Noemovi a "Boh ho vzal", ako Eliáša. Preto je veľkou postavou židovskej tradície, ktorá ho stavia za príklad svojej nábožnosti.
