The Genealogy of Genesis 5

All Hebrew names are words with a meaning and when we examine the meanings of the names of Adam and his descendants in Genesis chapter 5, we find something very interesting. Let’s begin with the name Adam from Genesis 5:1.

This Hebrew name, pronounced adam (121) is a Hebrew word that means “man.”

The name Seth (8352), pronounced “sheyt” in Hebrew, is related to the root word shiyt (7896) and means “to set or put in place.” The name Seth means “established” or “appointed.”

Next is the name Enosh (583), which is derived from the word enosh (582). This word also means “man,” but more literally a “mortal.”

Then we have Keynan (7018). This name is derived from the word qeyn (7064) meaning a “nest.” Keynan means “dwelling.”

Mahalala’eyl (4111) is a combination of two words. The word mahalal (4110) literally means “shine.” The word el (410) means “God.” So, Mahalale’eyl means “the shining of God” or “the light of God.”

Jared (3382), pronounced yared in Hebrew, comes from the verb yarad (3381) and means “come down.”

Then we have the name Enoch (2585), pronounced hhanokh in Hebrew. This name comes from the verb hhanakkh (2596) meaning “to dedicate.” The name Enoch means “dedicated.”

The name Methuselah (4968), pronounced Metushelahh in Hebrew, is two words. The Hebrew word mot (4194) means “death.” Metu is a conjugation of this verb and means “his death.” The word shelahh (7973) is a verb meaning “send.” So Metushelahh means “his death brings.” Interestingly, the flood of Noah came in the year that Metushelahh died.

Next is the name Lamehh (3929), but the meaning of this name is difficult as this word, or any other related word is not used in the Hebrew Bible, making a definition difficult. It is usually accepted to mean “to bring down low,” or “despair.”

The last name in this genealogy is Noah (5146), pronounced no’ahh in Hebrew. The Hebrew verb nu’ahh (5118) means “to rest.” From this verb comes the noun no’ahh (5118) meaning “rest” and this noun is the name no’ahh, which then means “rest.”

When we look at the meanings of each of these names… we get…

Man appointed a mortal dwelling place, the light of God will come down dedicated, his death will bring the despairing rest.

The story continues all the way through Yeshua with the Genealogy in Matthew 1.

Hey Jeff, thanks for all your work! I was interested because I saw a similar one to this given by Chuck Missler (famous preacher), I then checked online with my basic Hebrew understanding but people said it was false. However, you have shown otherwise evidentially, so thank you!

Noah, being the 10th from Adam is also associated to Jonah/dove on the Biblewheel pattern.

Jonah is the 10th book of the 2nd cycle, 32nd book overall (explained below).


The Biblewheel divides the 66 books of the Bible, the Protestant cannon of Scriptures. It is divided into 3 sets or cycles of books:

Books 1-22:
Genesis - Song of Solomon;

Books 23-44:
Isaiah - Acts;

And the 22 Epistles:
Romans - Revelation.

And each book numbered is associated or linked with the book of the next cycle:

Genesis is well read with Isaiah and Romans;
Exodus is well read with Jeremiah and 1Corinthians;
Leviticus is well read with Lamentations and 2Corinthians;...

So each set of three books are usually called Spokes as the spoke of a wheel.

And “wheel” in Hebrew is Gilgal which numerical value adds up to 66 (3+30+3+30). So the Bible is identified as God’s wheel:

Proverbs 20:26 (KJV) A wise king scattereth the wicked, and bringeth the wheel (Auphan) over them.

The wheel is known as both auphan in Hebrew and Gilgal:

Joshua 5:9 (KJV)
And the LORD said unto Joshua, This day have I rolled away the reproach of Egypt from off you. Wherefore the name of the place is called Gilgal unto this day.

Joshua 5:10 (KJV)
And the children of Israel encamped in Gilgal, and kept the passover on the fourteenth day of the month at even in the plains of Jericho.

And Ezekiel wheels are known as Auphan and Gilgal as well, which have eyes, and are accompanied by the 4. Living creatures which also represent the 4 Gospels. So the Biblewheel is the word of God.

I have spent the last hour sharing this video with everyone I know. Thank you so much for this. I am subscribing. I love Hebrew and want to learn it. The language is so deep. It blows my mind how our creator thinks sometimes.

[sofokles]

Hey thank you for making this videos, I learned a lot about Hebrew.

▓▒░   NOW  is the right time to
make the *spiritual connection*

Yes, really.   ░▒▓

An alternate (more accurate) translation

Adam=Human
Seth=heir, replacement¹
Enosh=person
Cainan=dwelling
Mahalaleel=in praise of God
Jared=[angels] descend²
Enoch=teacher³
Methuselah=his death bringing
Lamech=mighty youth/young one⁴
Noah=to grief/an act of grief⁴

1-Eve believed Seth was a replacement for Abel
2-It's explained that
Jared was named that way because the angels descended in his time
3-Enoch could also mean "teacher"
4-based on arabic cognates

Sir, do you have study material on 1samuel?

[ShayAviv]

Amazing. Do you think that the ages are symbolic, like in other ancient cultures?

[astroxturbo]

Who knows or can interpret what these means;
Man appointed mortal dwelling, light of God came down dedicated. His death will bring despairing rest.
I'm not sure what this means; What I think it means (though I could be wrong, which is way I ask if anyone can tell me what they think it means)

Part 1
~Man appointed (Appointed can mean = Scheduled, arranged, and choose?)
~mortal dwelling (?)(I'm not sure with this one, but maybe perishable living, or perishable life?)
Therefore: Man chose(Man appointed) perishable life over God, (←I say this because Adam and eve choose mortal life over the immortal God in the Garden of Eden) (Mortal dwelling).

Part 2
~Light of God (Jesus)
~came down dedicated (to live the will of God)
~And his death will bring rest to despair, (rest can mean = death, to kill despair, possibly)
the opposite of despair would be Hope, hope is synonymous with faith, faith = hope with assurance, thus if his death brought death to despair, it than brought faith, or hope to life.
Therefore; Jesus (Light of God) came down to live the will of God (dedicated), and his death brought assurance and hope (and his death bring despairing rest)

All Together
Man chose perishable life over God,
But Yeshua came to the world doing that which God commanded him to do, through his death he brought hope and assurance and by his death, death to despair.

I'm not entirely sure as I said, I could be dead wrong, but if you think you know what it could be trying to say, please replay and share your thoughts to this comment, I would like to know what it means. and if you agree like this comment.

[hyperboily]

It seems to me as though he's telling a story of his emotions of the creation through the naming of the children or The lineage for say I was so excited by this Revelation that I hastily put my comment in here if I would have waited to the end then I would have been sitting around here bored with nothing to do any rate Peace Love really good Channel

"Restore the Path", Can you elaborate?

Great information brother, thanks in christ

[edwardgilmore]

Numbers 6:24 - :26
The Lord bless you and keep you ( Jehovah )
The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you ( Jesus )
The Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace ( Jacob )

This is a prayer for spirits to receive peace, heaven.

The Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you ( Jesus )

Isaiah ( Prophet for the last days ) in dead sea scrolls:
9:2
The people walking in darkness have seen a great light ( Jesus ). Those dwelling in the land of the shadow of death ( spirit world ) light has shined upon them.

John 8:12
When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, I am the light of the world ( spirit world ). Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.

Jehovah - Jesus - Jacob
( Jacob a hebrew man final servant of Jehovah )

The best thing about Jeff's witnessing are his videos (like this one) ; but his books I don't care for, because of some Semantics issues.

[Jamie-Russell-CME]

The Great Light did come in the midst of the week of millenia, week of years, and maybe the week of regular days.

[Jamie-Russell-CME]

Consider the fact that the seed of the woman is a prophecy. And God prophecied it through the sons of God. Can you see it?

שלום
Hope all is well Jeff .. great video.. this video could be a combination to the refutation of Dr. Browns video... as he also dismissed any hidden messages as the genealogy of the Bible names leading to the story of Yeshua....
Praise Yah and blessings to you and yours ...

Você sente tédio de ler as genealogias da Bíblia?
Essa aqui talvez você goste.

Adão אדם, Sete שת, Enos אנוש,  Cainã קינן, Maalalel מהללאל, Jarede ירד,  Enoque חנוך, Metusalém מתושלח, Lameque למך,  Noé נוח

Mas o intrigante é o significado dos nomes:

*Homem mortal designado para habitar a luz de Deus desceu dedicado sua morte trará descanso desesperador.*

Como seria sua interpretação?

[truthfulchic]

I absolutely love the wonderful work that you have done helping to bring clarification to people of faith on what was truly written and to help bring us closer to our creator through the word! If you could, would you please do a video touching on the fact that 'God' isn't YHWH's name! I've had to revealed to me that God actually comes from the name Gade'el from the original name for the fallen angel Satan, that Lord is actually English for ba'al, and Jesus is Greek for hail Zeus! Please enlighten us on the proper names that should be used and what names should be avoided!
