注释
5:1-32
本章所记为洪水前的十位祖宗，他们的长寿若与其他民族传说的古人比较，所记的年龄还不算太大。虽然如此，有关十位祖宗的年龄，是不易解决的难题。 圣经上说的年是指十二个月的年，月指廿九或叁十日的月。 上古人类是否能享如此的长寿，考古人类学至今尚未有一圆满的答案。教父和神学家提出了两个理由来解释原始人的长寿原因：一、自然环境的优良条件：即在人犯原罪之後，仍未丧失天主在造人时所赋的优良人性；二、长寿的主因是天主上智的措施，使人能迅速繁殖，并使人将天主的原始启示传於後代子孙。
5:2-3
亚当生了相似自己的子女，因为他是照天主的肖像受造的，他生儿养女，即是传生天主至尊贵的肖像於万世万代的人类。
5:18-24
论哈诺客的事，见德44:16；犹14,15；希11:5。
5:29
拉默客对诺厄的祝福是一预言。此预言在8:22; 9:8-17实现了。
