The Life of Methuselah

• Methuselah

• Start — Genesis 5:21. The year of Methuselah's birth is the year his father, Enoch (son of Jared), was born (623) + the age of his father at Methuselah's birth (65) = 688
• End — Genesis 5:27. The year of Methuselah's death is his birth year (688) + his age at death (969) = 1657

Methuselah lived 969 years, longer than any other person born. Methuselah died just before the time of the Flood.

Years are anno hominis — counted from Creation as year 1 — which is the frame the source computes in. The arithmetic behind each boundary is given above rather than assumed.
