Methuselah [1]
mḗ - thū´sḗ - la , me - thū´se - la ( מתוּשׁלח , methūshelaḥ , "man of the javelin"): A descendant of Seth, the son of Enoch, and father of Lamech ( Genesis 5:21 ff; 1 Chronicles 1:3; Luke 3:37 ). Methuselah is said to have lived 969 years; he is therefore the oldest of the patriarchs and the oldest man. It is doubtful whether these long years do not include the duration of a family or clan.
