the person lived long in bible is METHUSELAH . the grandfather of Noah. he lived 969 years.
Methuselah, Cain, and Noah did not live at the same time. According to the Bible, Methuselah was the son of Enoch and the grandfather of Noah, living for 969 years before the Flood. Cain, the son of Adam and Eve, lived long before Noah and Methuselah, making it unlikely that their lifetimes overlapped.
Methuselah was a descendant of http://www.answers.com/topic/adam who lived to be 969 years old, according to the Bible. Methuselah is not a major figure in the Bible; he is mentioned only in passing in Genesis, 1 Chronicles 1:3, and Luke 3:37. 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." Lamech was the father of Noah, making Metheselah Noah's grandfather. Biblical scholars say Methuselah died in the year of the Great Flood, though the Bible gives no indication whether the old man was a victim of the flood itself. Luke 3:37 traces the lineage of http://www.answers.com/topic/jesus-christ back through Noah and Methuselah to Adam. The name of Methuselah is now a synonym for any old or long-lasting person.
they lived in long houses and every time someone else moved in they made it longer
He was a King of the kingdom of Judah, he became king at an age of 12 and reigned for 55 years. Manasseh was the first king of Judah who would not have had a direct experience with the Kingdom of Israel, which had been destroyed by the Assyrians before his birth. He was NOT the oldest man in the Bible. That honor I believe goes to Methuselah who is supposed to have lived for nine hundred sixty and nine years. Simeon too (in some Christian traditions) was tremendously long lived but not as long as Methuselah.
Johannes Kepler lived nearly 400 years ago. Humans can't live that long.
Gulls are long lived birds. Some species can attain nearly fifty years of age.
Vampires have never lived in Egypt, or anywhere else for that matter.
No, Moses did not live more than 600 years. According to biblical accounts, Moses lived to be 120 years old. The idea of living for such long periods, like 600 years, is found in the early chapters of Genesis, describing figures such as Methuselah, but these ages are not attributed to Moses.
Evendentually they do, or else they couldn't have lived in the wild for so long.
A:The only information we have on Methuselah comes from the Bible, and the only thing the Bible really tells us is that he lived to be 969 years old. It is reasonable to say that Methuselah was not a real, historical person. He features in a pre-Flood narrative that scientists and historians say is purely legendary. We even find that the two most important events in his life occurred at ages that are multiples of the number 17, a special number in the numerology of the Book of Genesis. Methuselah had his first child at the age of 187, which is 11 X 17, and died at 969, which is 57 X 17. The statistical chance of the oldest person in the Bible having his first child at an exact multiple of 17 and then of dying at an exact multiple of 17 are somewhat remote, confirming that this part of the story arose out of the spiritual meaning of the number 17, not history.Another Answer:The Scripture simply states that Methuselah lived 969 years and he 'died.' He was not killed like the others in the flood, though his stated death was in the same year. Methuselah was from the line of 'Righteousness' that continued from Seth through Enoch to Methuselah to Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the 12 tribes of Israel forward. It is highly unlikely God would of grouped him into the unrighteous He destroyed by the Flood though he dies in the same year.Additionally, the Jewish tradition of 'Rashi' a famous rabbi writing many commentaries suggested that Methuselah died a week before the flood so the family could have 7 days of mourning and burial. Then the flood. It is simply an unknown timeline but Methuselah is a real person mentioned in other Books of the Bible and in Jesus' genealogy back to Adam
He was born about 3339 BC, lived for 969 years, and died about 2370 BC, the year in which the flood began. (Insight from the Scriptures Volume 2).(Genesis 5:27) So all the days of Me‧thu′se‧lah amounted to nine hundred and sixty-nine years and he died.
