SEV Biblia, Chapter 5:9

Y vivió Enós noventa años, y engendró a Cainán.

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 6-20 - Concerning each of these, except Enoch, it is said, "and he died." It is well to observe the deaths of others. They all lived very long; no one of them died till he had seen almost eight hundred years, and some of them lived much longer; a great while for an immortal soul to be prisoned in a house of clay. The present life surely was not to the such a burden as it commonly is now, else they would have been weary of it. Nor was the future life so clearly revealed then, as it now unde the gospel, else they would have been urgent to remove to it. All the patriarchs that lived before the flood, except Noah, were born befor Adam died. From him they might receive a full account of the creation the fall, the promise, and the Divine precepts about religious worshi and a religious life. Thus God kept up in his church the knowledge of his will.
