Study note
Setting — The chronicler continues a patriarchal genealogy, listing the ancestors between Jared and Noah to establish ancestral lineage. The words — חֲנ֥וֹךְ (cha.Nokh) denotes Enoch, and לָֽמֶךְ (La.mekh) denotes Lamech, both recorded as direct links in the ancestral line. The thread — The text connects to Genesis 5:21, which notes Enoch fathered Methuselah at sixty-five, and Luke 3:36, which traces Jesus’ lineage back through Lamech to Noah. Why it lands — The passage requires the reader to acknowledge the unbroken transmission of ancestry from Adam to Noah without interruption or omission.
