Genesis 5:4
וַ יִּהְיוּ יְמֵי אָדָם אַחֲרֵי הֹולִידֹו אֶת שֵׁת שְׁמֹנֶה מֵאֹת שָׁנָה וַ יֹּולֶד בָּנִים וּ בָנֹות
And they are becoming the days of Red-one the back of208 his generating Seth eight hundred of a duplication, and he is generating builders and built-ones.
| 208 | the back of his generating. Hebrew אַֽחֲרֵי֙ הֹולִידֹ֣ו, acharai (Strong’s #310) means concretely hind/back parts. This is a plural construct similar to adonai which means concretely lords or masters and shaddai which means destroyers. Tradition has taken them as singular words. This is written deliberately with the infinitive of to generate throughout the record. |
