Genesis 5:2

Adam
Creation

1 This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, He made him in His own likeness.

Male and female He created them, and He blessed them. And in the day they were created, He called them “man.”

3 When Adam was 130 years old, he had a son in his own likeness, after his own image; and he named him Seth.

4 And after he had become the father of Seth, Adam lived 800 years and had other sons and daughters.
