Genesis 5:10

Study note

Setting — The narrator records genealogical data for the third patriarch, marking the period following Enosh’s birth of Kenan. The words — הוֹלִיד/וֹ (ho.li.D/o) translates literally as "he fathered," and אֱנ֗וֹשׁ ('e.No.osh) names the subject of the chronicle. The thread — This chronological formula frames the surrounding patriarchal records in Genesis 5:9 and Genesis 5:11 to track generational succession. Why it lands — The text requires the reader to note Enosh’s remaining lifespan and additional progeny to preserve the recorded line of descent.
