The first table column shows a running number accumulating the years beginning with creation in the first week. The next column lists the life span of those in the line leading down to Noah. Shem was born after Cain killed his own brother Abel, and the line to Noah is through Shem, and that genealogy also gives us the chronology through this period. None of the decendents through the male line of Cain survived the flood, but that line added to the total number of people on the earth before the flood. Notice that Methuselah, the man recorded in scripture with the oldest age, expired the same year as the great flood; and his father Enoch, lived 365 years (same as the days in a year), then was taken to be with God (Gen 5:24). And we know from the New Testament that Enoch did not experience death, “By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.” (Heb 11:5 AV)
