On this episode, Dave tackles a big, long genealogy in Genesis chapter 5. Lots of names. Lots of begetting. From Adam to Noah, Dave unpacks the passage and dives into two major questions: how did people in the Bible live so long (900+ years in most cases in this chapter)? Also, are there gaps or holes in the genealogy?
