Genesis 5:9
7 And after he had become the father of Enosh, Seth lived 807 years and had other sons and daughters.
8 So Seth lived a total of 912 years, and then he died.
When Enosh was 90 years old, he became the father of Kenan.
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.
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.
