AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 5:3 ¶ When Adam had lived a hundred and thirty years, he became the father of a son in his own likeness, according to his image, and named him Seth. |
Bible Question: I am confused about why this is the same wording "in his own likeness" as used in Genesis 5:1. Why wasn't Cain or Abel considered to be made in his likeness. Is this verse referring to Adam's likeness or God's? Any ideas? |
Bible Answer: Abraham was made in the image of God and it follows down through the generations to Seth. Cain and Abel were also made in the image of God - we all are. |
