17So Mahalalel lived a total of 895 years, and then he died. 18When Jared was 162 years old, he became the father of Enoch.

We can learn from Jared's example and trust God to take care of our own families and give us a long, happy life.

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown on Genesis 5:19

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Genesis 5:19

No notes from Poole on this verse.

Trapp's Commentary on Genesis 5:19

Genesis 5:19 And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:Ver. 19. And Jared lived after he begat Enoch.] He lived the longer, likely, for the great content he took in so good a son. Towardly and hopeful children do help to lengthen their parents’ days. God therefore lengtheneth theirs, according to that “ first commandment with promise.” Or, if he take from them this long lease, he gives them, as he did Enoch, a freehold of a better value.
