· 6 viewsGenesis 5 traces the generations from Adam to Noah, emphasizing the legacy each ancestor leaves behind. The chapter repeatedly highlights the inevitability of death, as each life ends with the phrase “and then he died.” Yet, amid this pattern, hope emerges in the stories of Enoch, who walks with God and is taken, and Noah, whose birth is seen as a promise of comfort for the future.

Made in the image of God (v.1)

1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. When God created man, he made him in the likeness of God.
People are made in God’s image and now they are going to have offspring that are little images of them.
The Temptation and the Fall (v.6–7)
The Temptation and the Fall (v.6–7)

Read Genesis 3:6-7
6 So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was to be desired to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate, and she also gave some to her husband who was with her, and he ate. 7 Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths.
Eve sees the fruit, wants it, and eats. Adam is with her and eats too.
Immediately, they realize they’re naked—they feel shame for the first time.
They try to cover up with leaves and hide from God.
Hiding and Blame (v.8–13)
Hiding and Blame (v.8–13)

Read Genesis 3:8-13
8 And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. 9 But the Lord God called to the man and said to him, “Where are you?” 10 And he said, “I heard the sound of you in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked, and I hid myself.” 11 He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten of the tree of which I commanded you not to eat?” 12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit of the tree, and I ate.” 13 Then the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this that you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.”
God comes looking for them, even though they’re hiding.
Adam blames Eve (and God!), Eve blames the serpent.
Sin leads to hiding, fear, and blaming others.
God’s Judgment and Promise (v.14–19)
God’s Judgment and Promise (v.14–19)

14 The Lord God said to the serpent,
“Because you have done this,
cursed are you above all livestock
and above all beasts of the field;
on your belly you shall go,
and dust you shall eat
all the days of your life.
15 I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your offspring and her offspring;
he shall bruise your head,
and you shall bruise his heel.”
16 To the woman he said,
“I will surely multiply your pain in childbearing;
in pain you shall bring forth children.
Your desire shall be contrary to your husband,
but he shall rule over you.”
17 And to Adam he said,
“Because you have listened to the voice of your wife
and have eaten of the tree
of which I commanded you,
‘You shall not eat of it,’
cursed is the ground because of you;
in pain you shall eat of it all the days of your life;
18 thorns and thistles it shall bring forth for you;
and you shall eat the plants of the field.
19 By the sweat of your face
you shall eat bread,
till you return to the ground,
for out of it you were taken;
for you are dust,
and to dust you shall return.”
God gives consequences: pain, brokenness, hard work, and death enter the world.
BUT—God promises that one day, someone from Eve’s family will crush the serpent’s head (first hint of Jesus!).
Hope and Covering (v.20–24)

20 The man called his wife’s name Eve, because she was the mother of all living. 21 And the Lord God made for Adam and for his wife garments of skins and clothed them.
22 Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—” 23 therefore the Lord God sent him out from the garden of Eden to work the ground from which he was taken. 24 He drove out the man, and at the east of the garden of Eden he placed the cherubim and a flaming sword that turned every way to guard the way to the tree of life.
God makes clothes for Adam and Eve—He covers their shame.
They have to leave the garden, but God goes with them and promises hope.
