This is Biblical Narrative about Most Important People in History of Bible who had Long Lifespan.
OLDEST PEOPLE IN THE BIBLE
All of the oldest people in the Bible are from the Book of Genesis and make up the patrilineal line that connects Adam to Noah. These ten men are known as the Antediluvian patriarchs, as they were alive before the Flood.
They all lived incredibly long lives, with a majority of them dying when they were over 900 years old. Due to their long lifespans, many of the oldest men in their genealogy were still alive when the later men in their line were born.
While the ages of these men are hard to believe, many people do not see these stories as being literal and its up to you to decide how you want to interpret what the Bible says. There are a number of people who do believe that these men really lived to be nearly 1,000 years old and have tried to give their reasons.
10. Enoch
Enoch, along with Noah, is one of Adam’s most well-known descendants and is believed to be the author of the Book of Enoch.
He did not live quite as long as the other men on this list as he was taken by God when he was 365 years old, which makes him one of the only people that God took to heaven without them dying.
9. Lamech.
Lamech is known for being the father of Noah who died at age 777, a few years before the Great Flood occurred. He is the only patriarch before the Flood, besides Adam.
8. Mahalalel.
He is another one of Adam’s descendants who lived hundreds of years as Mahalalel died when he was 895 years old. He is the son of Kenan, who had Mahalalel when he was 70 years old, and the father of Jared.
7. ENOS
Enos is Adam’s grandson and the first son of Seth. According to the book of Genesis, Seth was 105 years old when Enos was born. The Bible says that Enos was 90 years old when his first son Kenan was born.
He lived to be 905 years.
6. Kenan
Kenan is another descendant of Adam as he is the grandson of Seth and the son of Enos. Kenan lived before the Great Flood and died when he was over 900 years old.
5. Set
Seth is the third son of Adam and Eve, who was born after his brother Abel’s murder.
According to his story in Genesis, Seth was born when Adam was 130 years old and Eve believed that God intended for Seth to be a replacement for Abel. He is the fifth oldest man in the Bible and died when he was 912 years old.
4. Adam
Adam is best known as being the first man ever created by God in the Bible and his name is used as the word for man or mankind in the Book of Genesis.
The story of Adam and Eve and their fall from the Garden of Eden is widely known. Adam lived to be 930 years old, which means that he died right before the Genesis Flood.
3. NOAH
Noah is one of the most well-known Biblical figures as his story is told in the Bible’s Genesis flood narrative. Most people are probably at familiar with the basics of the story of Noah’s Ark, which says that God flooded the Earth to wash away mankind’s misdeeds and rebuilt the world with the animals and Noah and his family aboard the Ark.
The story of Noah’s Ark is one of the many flood myths that appear throughout human culture and history. Noah is another direct descendant of Adam and Eve and one of the men in the Bible who lived to be over 900 years old.
2. Jared.
Jared is the second oldest man in the Bible and is a sixth-generation descendant of Adam and Eve. His father was Mahalalel and although he had other sons and daughters, only one of them, Enoch, is named in the Bible, which makes Jared the grandfather of Methuselah.
Jared was 162 years old when Enoch was born and he lived to be 962 years old. The name Jared is very popular in North American English-speaking countries and means “descend.”
1. Methuselah
Methuselah is the oldest person in the Bible, as he died at the age of 969 years old. He is mentioned in he Book of Genesis as the son of Enoch, the father of Lamech, and the grandfather of Noah. His story in the Bible is significant as he is a part of the genealogy that links Adam to Noah.
In most versions of the Bible, Methuselah was nearly 200 years old when his son, Lamech, was born and died sometime after the Flood from Noah’s story. Due to his old age, Methuselah has become a part of popular culture and his name is typically used when referring to the advanced age of people or things.
