5:1 it is clear that the comparison is being made between
created in the image and likeness of God versus born in the image and
likeness of sinful man.
Adam and Eve were no doubt in the image of God, but the
succeeding generations were in the image of their sinful fathers.

5:3 Note that in spite of Cain being the first born, he is
not reckoned among the “sons of God” because he was reckoned as the son of
perdition the first seed of the devil.

5:3 Three women were mentioned in chapter 4 in Cain’s
genealogy, and their names had to do with beauty, ornament, shade,
loveliness. This sets the stage for the comparison in Gen chapter 6, between
the sons of God and the daughters of men.

5:4 Although it could be construed that the sons and
daughters mention belong to Seth, because of the context clues, and the
subject under discussion we can conclude that the sons and daughters belonged
to Adam.

Gen 5:5-23 Please note that this is a specific lineage
which is being mentioned. It is not to be said or understood that these were
the first born, It is possible that there were other sons and daughter born
before the ones mentioned.

How many generations after Adam was Enoch.

7 generations from Adam to Enoch. Adam died but Enoch did
not.

5:29 For example, when you concatenate the
meanings of the names in the genealogy in Genesis 5, he noted, you will find
that a prophecy emerges: “Humanity
appointed wretched, falling. The blessed God will descend - dedicated. His
death will bring power, rest.” The class was impressed: “that's
why we love this man,” said one of the class members.

5:29 It seems that the inhabitants of Earth then knew that
something miraculous was to happen. All had hoped for deliverance from the
curse. All had wanted an easier life, thus, Noah’s Father (Lamech) made this
declaration because he believed that his son would be the one to deliver them
from the curse of the Earth.

This was my most ambitious project. I had hoped to provide a verse by verse commentary of the entire bible. However, my computer was stolen and I did not get to upload all the commentary I had documented up to Joshua. I was devasted by the theft and did not continue the commentary.
