BIBLICAL CHRONOLOGY
Generation 10: Hebrew years 1080 to 1200 (2680-2560 BCE)
Introduction
Mankind became increasingly corrupted with practices of abominations.
Enosh
In Hebrew year 1140, Enosh, who was Seth's son, died at the age of 905. The name Enosh, written אֱנוֹשׁ in Hebrew, means ‘human’. Symbolically, with his passing, what was left of ‘humanity’ on earth died with him.
All the early descendants of Adam died after him and the earth became populated with a more violent human race.
