Summary

This verse briefly mentions Methuselah, who was the son of Enoch and the grandfather of Noah. Methuselah is known for being the longest-lived person in the Bible, living to the age of 969 years. His name is believed to mean 'when he dies, judgment,' which is significant considering that the Great Flood occurred in the year of his death. Methuselah's lifespan serves as a reminder of God's patience and mercy, giving ample time for repentance before the judgment comes.

Commentary

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary

Lamech--a different person from the one mentioned in the preceding chapter [Gen 4:18]. Like his namesake, however, he also spoke in numbers on occasion of the birth of Noah--that is, "rest" or "comfort" [Gen 5:29, Margin]. "The allusion is, undoubtedly, to the penal consequences of the fall in earthly toils and sufferings, and to the hope of a Deliverer, excited by the promise made to Eve. That this expectation was founded on a divine communication we infer from the importance attached to it and the confidence of its expression" [PETER SMITH].
