Context — The Genealogy from Adamgenerated

9When Enosh was 90 years old, he became the father of Kenan.
10And after he had become the father of Kenan, Enosh lived 815 years and had other sons and daughters.
11So Enosh lived a total of 905 years, and then he died.
12When Kenan was 70 years old, he became the father of Mahalalel.

Genesis 5:10 is part of a genealogical account that traces the lineage from Adam through his descendants. This section highlights the life spans and offspring of key figures, emphasizing the continuity of humanity after the creation. The genealogy serves to connect the history of humanity and God's plan through successive generations.


Cross References


The Key Word וַיּ֥וֹלֶד, vai.Yo.ledgenerated

The verb יָלַד (yalad) means to bear or beget, indicating the act of giving birth. It encompasses both the physical act of childbirth and the broader concept of lineage and family.

In this verse, it specifically refers to Enosh's act of fathering Kenan, marking a significant point in the genealogy. The verb is in the Hiphil stem, indicating causation, which emphasizes Enosh's role in continuing the line of descent.


How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated

This study reads the verse in the Berean Standard Bible, so the BSB is the wording every comparison below is made against.


Sentence Structuregenerated

The main verb וַיּ֥וֹלֶד governs the sentence, indicating Enosh's action of fathering. The structure includes a prepositional phrase indicating time ('after he had become the father of Kenan'), followed by a clause that describes Enosh's life and offspring.

The sentence is built around the central action of living and fathering, with the chronology emphasizing the order of events in Enosh's life.


Septuagint Backgroundgenerated

The Septuagint translates וַיּ֥וֹלֶד as ἐγέννησεν, which also means 'he begat'. This choice aligns closely with the Hebrew meaning, emphasizing the act of fathering.

This translation indicates a direct lineage connection, similar to the Hebrew, while the Greek structure may imply a slightly different narrative flow.

The four witnesses to this verse — Masoretic, Septuagint, Samaritan, Qumran

The Masoretic Text and the Samaritan Pentateuch agree on the majority of the wording in this verse, with one notable difference: the Samaritan Pentateuch uses יוליד (to bear) instead of the Masoretic הוֹליד (to father), which slightly alters the emphasis on the act of parentage.

אֵת (eth) is primarily a grammatical marker in Hebrew, indicating the definite direct object of a verb. It is not translated into English and typically precedes nouns that are definite. The word is derived from a demonstrative sense of entity, related to the Hebrew word for 'self.' Its Aramaic equivalent is יָת (yat).
