Just as God commanded, the personified tribes of Adam were
fruitful, even after Cain killed his brother and rode away on the white horse.
God granted Adam and Eve Compensation;
that’s what they named their third son. Of course, when they said it, it sounded
more like, “Seth.”
Seth had a son and called him Enosh (Mankind), in other words, The Sons of God began to think and behave less like the Awdawm and more like the Sons of Man. They, this third generation (of tribes) had begun to assimilate into the world around them.
If Adam and Seth were to have anything to do with it, Enosh and his
children’s children would remember their God. Seth would teach the
tribes of Adam by calling loudly and often not on the name of YHWH Eloheem
(Lord of Gods), but on the name of YHWH, (LORD).
They called upon The One God.
The Sons of God continued to work the land and call upon the name of
the YHWH through communal worship and sacrificial rituals for four generations
(700 +/- years). Then Adam died in the year 930 AA. Sixty years later,
something marvelous happened to a man (wouldn't it be cool if it was a whole tribe?) named Dedicated, Enoch:

“Enoch walked with God; and he was not, for God took him.”
Isn’t that marvelous?
The Sons of God called
upon YHWH for four generations, and remained in Eden . Enoch walked with
YHWH for one generation, and God took him.
Enoch had a son; his name was Methuselah (man of the dart
(I don't get it)).
Methuselah had a son, his name was Lamech (powerful).
Seth died.
Lamech had a son, his name was Noah.
Enosh died.
Kenan died.
Mahalalel died.
Noah’s father, Lamech died five years before the flood.
Noah, his sons Shem Ham and Japheth, and Noah's Grandfather Methuselah would be the only tribes of the Sons of God left when their whole world was flooded.
