Bible Answer: Hello browneyedgurl18! When Enoch was 65 years old, he became the father of Methuselah. According to Strong's Exhaustive Concordance, Methuselah means... "'Mthuwshelach' Hebrew (4968) meth-oo-sheh'-lakh from 4962 and 7973; "man of a dart"; Methushelach, an antediluvian patriarch:--Methuselah." According to Hitchcock's Bible Names, the meaning for "Methusaleh" is 'he has sent his death'. The Jamieson, Fausset and Brown Commentary states, "Gen 5:21 - Enoch . . . begat Methuselah--This name signifies, "He dieth, and the sending forth," so that Enoch gave it as prophetical of the flood. It is computed that Methuselah died in the year of that catastrophe." Methusaleh lived to be 969 years old, which is the longest human lifespan in the history of mankind.
