Son of Metushelach, father of Noach
Named his son Noach with a prophetic word: 'this one shall comfort us in our work and in the toil of our hands, out of the ground which Yah has cursed' (Genesis 5:29)
Lived 777 years (Genesis 5:31)
“Named his son Noach as a word of comfort for a cursed ground”
Traditional note: Distinct from the unrelated Lemech of Genesis 4:18–24 (seventh from Adam through Kayin/Cain, husband of Adah and Tzillah, composer of the 'Song of the Sword') — that figure is in the line of Kayin, outside the scope of this dataset, and shares only the name with this Lemech, son of Metushelach in the line of Shet.
