460. Summary
THIS chapter deals specifically with the propagation of the earliest church in later generations, almost up to the time of the Flood.
Footnotes:
{*1} (in the text of Genesis 5:29). The Hebrew is drawing a connection between the name Noah and a verb for "console," נִחַם (niḥḥam). The original root has to do with "rest," a meaning elucidated below at 851. [LHC, RS]
{*2} (in the text of Genesis 5:32). Based on the notion of one's having "become a child" (been born) at a certain point in the past, "a son of (so many) years" is a Hebraism meaning simply "(so many) years old" and is often translated in that way. [LHC]
