Birth of Adam of Seth

Seder Olam Zutta 2:2

Adam lived one hundred and thirty years until Seth was born. That was the year 130 from Creation, and the years of his life were 930. Seth lived one hundred and five years until Enosh was born. That was the year 235 from Creation, and the years of his life were 912. Enosh lived ninety years until Kenan was born. That was the year 325 from Creation, and the years of his life were 905. Kenan lived seventy years until Mahalalel was born. That was the year 395 from Creation, and the years of his life were 910. Mahalalel lived sixty-five years until Jared was born. That was the year 460 from Creation, and the years of his life were 895. Jared lived one hundred and sixty-two years until Enoch was born. That was the year 622 from Creation, and the years of his life were 962. Enoch lived sixty-five years until Methuselah was born. That was the year 687 from Creation. Enoch walked with God three hundred and sixty-five years, and he was no more, for God took him. That was the year 987 from Creation. Methuselah lived one hundred and eighty-seven years until Lamech was born. That was the year 874 from Creation, and the years of his life were 969. Lamech lived one hundred and eighty-two years until Noah was born. That was the year 1,056 from Creation, and the years of his life were 777. When the Flood came, Noah was six hundred years old. That was the year 1,656 from Creation. Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the Flood. It follows that Noah, the tenth generation, died in the year 2,006 from Creation, ten years after the Dispersion. Behold, ten generations.
