创世记第五章   第 5 章 

  创 5 章 > 圣经中为什么有族谱? 

  5 章 圣经中记载了几个家谱。有些人认为这些家谱记载了家族、支派和国家的整个历史;也有些人认为它们并非包括每一个人,只记录了有名声的人或族长。某某生某某可表示父子关系,也可表示某某是某某的祖先。因为在很久以前,有许多地方文字记载的东西很简单原始,甚至没有什么文献。希伯来人把民族的历史口传给后代,家谱就成为一个概要,帮助他们紧记历史。家谱不断延伸且世代相传,它不但保存了家族的传统,更重要的是印证圣经的应许──要来的弥赛亚耶稣基督会是亚伯拉罕的后裔。 

  从圣经记载的族谱,我们认识到神一个有趣的特性:祂不只看重民族或国家,祂更看重每一个人,所以神用人的名字称呼人,提到他们的寿数和他们的后裔。当你在茫茫人海中感到迷失时,请谨记神爱每一个人,祂爱你也关心你! 

  创 5:3-5> 我是否对某些人耿耿于怀,而忘了他们也是神宝贵的创造? 

  5:3-5 如果追溯到亚当夏娃,全人类都是彼此关联的。当我们对人有了成见或仇恨的时候,要记住大家都是骨肉同胞,每一个人都是神宝贵独特的创造。

  创 5:25-27> 为什么创世记中的人这么长寿? 

  5:25-27 为什么这些人这么长寿?有些人认为这里记载的年岁是家族的寿命而不是个人的寿命。那些相信这些数字是人实质年岁的人为此有三种解释:( 1 )在上古时期,致命的疾病比较少,人类的遗传基因也较纯正;( 2 )当时还没有雨水降下, " 空气以上的水 " ( 1:7 )把宇宙中有害的射线隔开,并保护人类不受环境中危害生命的因素影响;( 3 )神赐人长寿,好使他们有时间去 " 生养众多,遍满地面 " ( 1:28 )。──《灵修版圣经注释》
