Chapter 5 of Genesis gives us the blood line from Adam to Noah. After Cain and Abel were born and Cain slew Abel, Adam had another son named Seth who took the place of Cain. From Seth to Noah were several generations. Many of the descendants of Seth lived over 900 years and had sons and daughters all the days of their lives. In Chapter 5 we have the account of Enoch, who walked with GOD. His life was short (365) years because he walked with GOD and GOD took him. Some people say that one day GOD and Enoch were walking along and GOD said “Enoch, it is closer to my house than yours so come go home with me.” Chapter 5 goes to where Noah had three sons, Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Chapter 6 tells us that men began to multiply on the earth and sons and daughters were born to them. The daughters were beautiful and the sons of GOD began to take them for wives. It goes on to say that giants were on the earth.
