The Bible says that Methuselah lived to the age of 969 years and then died the same year as Noah's Flood. This makes him the oldest person in the Bible, but many of the ages in the Book of Genesis are based on numerology, using the number 17. So, Methuselah supposedly had his first son at the age of 187, which is 11 X 17, then died at the age of 969, which is 57 X 17.
