Which was [the son] of Methuselah, which was [the son] of Enoch, which was [the son] of Jared, which was [the son] of Maleleel, which was [the son] of Cainan,
Which was the son of Mathusala,…. The same with Methuselah; and so he is called by the Septuagint in Ge 5:25
which was the son of Enoch, Ge 5:21
which was the son of Jared Ge 5:18,
which was the son of Maleleel; the same with Mahalaleel; who is also so called by the seventy interpreters, in Ge 5:15 as here; which was the son of Cainan, Ge 5:12.
