Not the oldest in history, but the oldest in the Abrahamic religions is Methuselah who, in the Book of Genesis, lived to 969 years. This age could well have been determined by early Hebrew numerology, since 969 is a multiple of 17 (57 X 17), and he first became a father at the age of 187, which is also a multiple of 17 (11 X 17). The number 17 was considered particularly propitious in early Hebrew numerology.
