[FONT=Verdana]- [B][COLOR=#ff0000]†.[/COLOR] Gen 5:28-29 . .When Lamech had lived 182 years, he begot a son. And he named him Noah, saying: This one will provide us relief from our work and from the toil of our hands, out of the very soil which the Lord placed under a curse.[/B] The word for "Noah" is from [I]nuwach[/I] (noo'-akh) and means[B]:[/B] rest or quiet. But not the kind of quiet one might find in a sound-proof room. More like the peace and quiet a person ...
[FONT=Verdana]- [B][COLOR=#ff0000]†.[/COLOR] Gen 5:10 . . After the birth of Kenan, Enosh lived 815 years and begot sons and daughters.[/B] You know, some of these guys really didn't accomplish very much. All they seemed to do was reproduce. But the important thing is[B]:[/B] they made a line to Messiah and, as is the duty of patriarchs, preserved whatever sacred teachings were handed down from their fathers.

I have slain a man for wounding me, and a lad for bruising me. If Cain is avenged sevenfold, then Lamech seventy-sevenfold.[/B] Brag, Brag, Brag-- boy, I tell you some men sure love to show off and glorify themselves in front of women; no doubt about it. Apparently ol' Lamech figured the homicide he committed wasn't ...
[FONT=Verdana]- [B][COLOR=#ff0000]†.[/COLOR] Gen 4:20 . . Adah bore Jabal; he was the ancestor of those who dwell in tents and amidst herds.[/B] This is the Bible's very first mention of man-made portable shelters. Tents, teepees, wigwams, etc; make it possible to roam long distances in relative comfort while searching for foods and pastures. Abraham and Sarah were housed in portable shelters the whole time they lived in Canaan. With portable shelters, Enochville could be a ...
