The Lord Will

Genesis 5:5

β€œAnd all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.”

KJV

Read in Genesis 5

Meaning

Adam's years are totaled and the genealogy closes his entry with the direct statement that he died.

Read carefully

The reported longevity belongs to the genealogy's own ancient chronology and should not be casually converted into unsupported modern biological theories.

Reflection

The refrain of death carries Genesis 3's mortality into the generations that follow, even where lifespans are exceptionally long.
