Adam knew Eve
GEN 4:1 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD.
GEN 4:2 And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
There are two genealogies to consider, Cain’s & Seth’s. Eve’s first child was Cain. Her second child was Abel. Cain murdered Abel & lied to God. Seth was born to Eve as her third son, “another seed instead of Abel, whom Cain slew.”
The first genealogy is Cain’s:
GEN 4:17 Cain knew his wife; she bare Enoch
GEN 4:18 Enoch begat Irad
Irad begat Mehujael
Mehujael begat Methusael
Methusael begat Lamech
GEN 4:19 Lamech took two wives: Adah, and Zillah
GEN 4:20 Adah bare Jabal
GEN 4:21 his brother's name was Jubal
GEN 4:22 Zillah bare Tubalcain
the sister of Tubalcain was Naamah
The second genealogy is Seth’s:
GEN 4:25 Adam knew his wife again; she bare a son, named Seth
GEN 4:26 to Seth a son named Enos
GEN 5:9 Enos begat Cainan
GEN 5:12 Cainan begat Mahalaleel
GEN 5:15 Mahalaleel begat Jared
GEN 5:18 Jared begat Enoch
GEN 5:21 Enoch begat Methuselah
GEN 5:25 Methuselah begat Lamech
GEN 5:28 Lamech begat a son
GEN 5:29 named Noah
GEN 5:32 Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth

The Days of Creation
Day 1 – Genesis 1:1 – 1:5 (God created Heaven & Earth, Light, Division of Light from Darkness)
Day 2 – Genesis 1:6 – 1:8 (made the firmament, divided the waters from the waters)
Day 3 – Genesis 1:9 – 1:13 (gathered together the waters, called the dry land Earth, brought forth grass, herb, fruit tree yielding seed)
Day 4 – Genesis 1:14 – 1:19 (lights in the firmament, to rule the day, to rule the night, creation of stars - signs for seasons, days, years)
Day 5 – Genesis 1:20 – 1: 23 (the waters bring forth every living creature, and winged fowl, God blessed them)
Day 6 - Genesis 1:24 – 1:31 (the earth bring forth the living creature, the beast of the earth, every thing that creepeth upon the earth, created man in his own image – male & female, gave man dominion, God blessed them)
Day 7 - Genesis 2:1 – 2:3 (God rested from all his work & sanctified it)
Day 8 - Genesis 2:4 – 2:25 (there was not a man to till the ground - the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, breathed into his nostrils, man became a living soul, Creation of the Garden, Adam names the creatures, creation of man’s helpmeet - woman)
With only limited available time I only managed to squeeze in one reading of Genesis this last week. With that done I now aim to collate data. Basic stuff, genealogies, timelines, etc. I'll sift what I can. The real benefit of this type of exercise is fixing things in mind. Getting a who, what, where & when type perspective. Basic stuff obviously but preliminary & necessary to a deeper understanding.
