He is noted for his exceptionally long lifespan, living 969 years, making him the longest-lived human recorded in the Bible. His name is often interpreted to mean "man of the dart" or "when he dies, it shall be sent," which some scholars suggest may be a prophetic reference to the timing of the Flood.<p><span class="tophdg">Cultural and Historical Background: </span>Methuselah is a significant figure in the antediluvian (pre-Flood) period of biblical history. He is the son of Enoch, who "walked with God" and was taken by God, and the grandfather of Noah, who built the ark to survive the Flood. Methuselah's long life is often seen as a symbol of God's patience and the extended opportunity for humanity to repent before the judgment of the Flood.<div class="vheading2">Thayer's Greek Lexicon</div><span class="maintitle">STRONGS NT 3103: Μαθουσαλά</span><br><br><span class="arttitle"><span class="grktitle">Μαθουσαλά</span></span>, <span class="manuref">T</span> <span class="manuref">WH</span> <span class="greek2">Μαθουσαλά</span> (cf. <span class="manuref">Tdf.</span> Proleg., p. 103), <span class="greek2">ὁ</span> (<span class="hebrew">מְתוּשֶׁלַח</span>, man of a dart, from <span class="hebrew">מְתוּ</span>, construct form of the unused <span class="hebrew">מַת</span>, a man, and <span class="hebrew">שֶׁלַח</span> a dart (cf. <span class="abbreviation">B.
