Methuselah was a descendant of Adam who lived to be 969 years old, according to the Bible. Methuselah is not a major figure in the Bible; he is mentioned only in passing in Genesis, 1 Chronicles 1:3, and Luke 3:37.
Lamech was the father of Noah, making Metheselah Noah's grandfather. Biblical scholars say Methuselah died in the year of the Great Flood, though the Bible gives no indication whether the old man was a victim of the flood itself. Luke 3:37 traces the lineage of Jesus of Nazareth back through Noah and Methuselah to Adam.
