Genesis 5:12
10 And after he had become the father of Kenan, Enosh lived 815 years and had other sons and daughters.
11 So Enosh lived a total of 905 years, and then he died.
When Kenan was 70 years old, he became the father of Mahalalel.
13 And after he had become the father of Mahalalel, Kenan lived 840 years and had other sons and daughters.
14 So Kenan lived a total of 910 years, and then he died.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
