Questions for Reflection & Discussion:

1. How do you normally react when you reach genealogies (family lines) in your bible reading (be honest)? Why do you think they are included? 
2. In the family lines (of Cain, and of Seth), which names are familiar to you? What do you think is highlighted in each respective line?
3. Trace the advancement of blessing (e.g., fruitfulness, taking dominion) and curse (sin, violence, death) in both family lines. What are your feelings about humanity at the end of Genesis 5?
