Quote:



Folah, in Genesis 5:1 we have the word (sefer). translates to book and is often translated as "narrative" in Genesis 5.

The word translated as "generations" is (toledot) .

speaks of generations by birth cycles (not birth to death). In other words the age of the man when a child is born to the age of his son when his child is born and so forth.

the root word is (y'lad) - which means to give birth.

So Genesis 5 is the book about the generations (plural) from the age of their father when the child is born to the next birth and so on.
