Why did the first humans live so long? Genesis says Adam lived 930 years, and he wasn’t even the oldest one on the list.
Adam lived 930 years. Seth, 912. Enosh, 905. The numbers go on — and most of us skip right past them.
In this episode of Veil & Broc, we slow down and actually look at the genealogy in Genesis — not as a list of names, but as a map of humanity’s beginning. We talk about the Eden diet, the one language, and the quiet detail that changes everything: in the days of Enosh, people began to call on the name of the Lord.
And then there’s Enoch — the man who lived the least and mattered the most. Not how long you live. But who you walk with.
