How old Methuselah in the history of the bible?

Question

This is get it in to the bible in the old testament! faster

Answer 1

Adam died at age 930 Gen 5:5;
Methusaleh was 243 of 969 Gen.5:27;
Methusaleh died 726 years later in the flood year. Noah as age 600 Gen.7:6;

Answer 2

Because it was a Lunar calendar that was in use in those days.

969(moons)divided-by 30 = 32.3 years.

Or 969(lunar-cycles)divided-by 29.53 = 32.81_ years

Still a quite respectable age for the times, but, hardly 'miraculous'. IMO

So, if someone says that a person is "Older than Methuselah", You can be sure if they're right or not-! LOL

Mean life expectancy in the United States rose from 35 years in 1800 to 50 in 1900, and around 76 in 2000

35 X 30 = 1050 months

35 X 29.53 = 1033.55 (Lunar Cycles)

50 X 30 = 1500 months

50 X 29.53 = 1476.5 (Lunar Cycles)

76 X 30 = 2280 months

76 X 29.53 = 2244.28 (Lunar Cycles)

The 'Jewish-Calender' is STILL based on a Lunar-Month, which explains WHY Hanukkah occurs on ;different-days compared to 'OUR' calendar.

The 'Lunar-Calender' is STILL used by (most) (so-called) "Christian"-churches to ascertain the date/s of "EASTER"... there is NO 'difference' in the application/s of this calendar.

Answer 3

969

According to the King James version of Genesis 5:25-27, "And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begat Lamech. And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven hundred eighty and two years, and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died."
