Exegesis
The verse is an asyndetic genealogy line: three proper names are placed side-by-side without a verb or conjunction—qenān {קֵינָ֥ן | qênān} ‘Kenan’, mahalalel {מַהֲלַלְאֵ֖ל | măhălalʾēl} ‘Mahalalel’, yāreḏ {יָֽרֶד | yāreḏ} ‘Jared’. This verbless naming sequence functions as a compressed record of descent within the larger genealogy, where relationship (“X fathered Y”) is supplied by the list context rather than expressed in each line. English can preserve the original order while optionally adding “and” before the final name to reflect normal list style without changing the genealogical sense.
