This passage reviews the history of humanity and reminds us that the image of God is bound up in the relationship between male and female (see 1 Corinthians 11:3 and Ephesians 5:25). Notice the pattern of the genealogy and then the breaks in the pattern (also in Matthew 1!). Enoch walked with God; consider what that means by the occurrence of “walk” in the New Testament (beware that many English translations have “live” where it should be “walk,” such as in Ephesians 4—5). People lived a long time after Adam’s corruption; the effects of dying take time to ruin the life that God created.
