'''Methuselah''' is a character in the Book of [[Genesis]], the son of [[Enoch]] and the grandfather of [[Noah]]. He is best known for living until the age of 969 (Gen 5:27), the longest life recorded in [[the Bible]] (although ages over 900 were common at that time).  Taking the years of the Genesis genealogies as literal, his death occurred the same year as the [[Great Flood]]. Whether he died with the flood or the flood was put off until his death is unknown.  Apart from the record of his lineage, the Bible does not mention any other information about him.
