Genesis 5:9
"And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan:"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And Enos lived ninety years, and begat Cainan. According to the Septuagint a hundred and ninety years; it can hardly be thought but that he had sons or daughters before,

but this is only taken notice of for a reason before given.
