Gen 5 and its NT texts: form only
Says Luke 3:36–38 runs τοῦ Καϊνὰμ τοῦ Ἀρφαξὰδ τοῦ Σὴμ τοῦ Νῶε τοῦ Λάμεχ τοῦ Μαθουσαλὰ τοῦ Ἑνὼχ τοῦ Ἰάρετ τοῦ Μαλελεὴλ τοῦ Καϊνὰμ τοῦ Ἐνὼς τοῦ Σὴθ τοῦ Ἀδὰμ τοῦ θεοῦ. The SBLGNT apparatus has no unit there; the Byzantine Textform spells Καϊνάν and Ἰαρέδ. Swete prints Ἰάρεδ at 5:15–20, and his apparatus at 5:18 gives Ιαρετ for Alexandrinus and the Bodleian Genesis.
Says Heb 11:5, καὶ οὐχ ηὑρίσκετο διότι μετέθηκεν αὐτὸν ὁ θεός, agrees in form with Swete 5:24. The SBLGNT apparatus records the Byzantine Textform’s αὐτοῦ after μεταθέσεως.
Says Jude 14 calls Enoch ἕβδομος ἀπὸ Ἀδάμ, and 14–15 quote words that stand in 1 Enoch; the SBLGNT apparatus at 15 records πάντας τοὺς ἀσεβεῖς (Westcott and Hort, Tregelles, and the NIV Greek text), the Byzantine Textform’s added αὐτῶν, and NA28’s πᾶσαν ψυχήν.
Says Rom 5:14, ἀπὸ Ἀδὰμ μέχρι Μωϋσέως, has no unit. Matt 19:4 and Mark 10:6, ἄρσεν καὶ θῆλυ ἐποίησεν αὐτούς, agree in form with Swete 5:2, as with 1:27. The Byzantine Textform adds αὐτοῖς and reads ποιήσας for κτίσας at Matt 19:4, and adds ὁ θεός at Mark 10:6.
Uncertain Luke’s second Cainan is not in Swete’s Genesis 5; no lean is taken on gaps in the genealogy or on the standing of 1 Enoch. Form agreement is not a claim about which text a writer used.
