The Gospel in Chronicles.

Dr. Robinson gives the signification of the first ten names in 1 Chron. 1, as follows:—
“Adam—Man in God’s image. Seth—Substituted. Enosh—Frail man. Kenan—Lamenting. Mahalaleel—The blessed God. Jared—Shall come down. Enoch—Teaching. Methuselah—His death shall send. Lamech—To the humble. Noah—Consolation.”
He renders it in this wise:—“To man created in God’s image, but now substituted by man, frail, and full of lamentations, the blessed God himself shall come down, teaching; and his death shall send to the humble consolation.”
