Jared

Jared sits in the long family line from Adam to Noah. Genesis 5 says he lived “nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died,” and that he fathered Enoch, the man who walked with God. Each entry in this list ends the same way, with a life lived and a death. Luke 3 names Jared again when it traces the ancestors of Jesus back toward the beginning. We are told little about the man himself, only that he belonged to a chain of fathers and sons. Genesis 5 is the place to read it.
