Son of Chanoch, father of Lemech, grandfather of Noach
Lived 969 years (Genesis 5:27) — the longest human lifespan recorded in scripture
“The longest-lived person named in scripture — 969 years”
Traditional note: The popular observation that Metushelach's 969 years end the same year as the Flood (calculated by adding the ages-at-fathering down Genesis 5 and 7) is a chronological inference from the genealogies, not a statement the text makes directly — included here only as a well-known traditional reading.
