1 | Is Lamec a descendant of Seth or Cain? | Genesis | Christianheart | 121 | ||
I am starting to study the Bible.In Genesis 4:17-18 and 5:17-26,we read about Seth s and Cain s descendants.But I have a doubt,is Lamec a descendant from Seth or Cain? because his name(and the name of his father Metusael)appears in both lines of descendants.Thank you for your help.Be blessed. | ||||||
2 | Is Lamec a descendant of Seth or Cain? | Genesis | Matt | 141 | ||
Be careful in your reading. In Cain's lineage Lamach's father is METHUSHAEL and in Seth's lineage Lamach's father is METHUSELAH. If you sketch out a family tree of each it is evident that the Lamach in Cain and Seth's descendents is not the same Lamach. This should not be any more of a problem than confusing any other two people with the same name. Also, be careful with the timing issue. Just because Seth is dealt with in chapter 15 following Cain's lineage do not assume that it is chronologically correct. I would strongly suggest a book by Henderson and Henderson called "Living by the Book" if you want to develop your bible studying skills. God Bless |
