Here's part of the content - you would like to know it all? Delve into this book today!..... : (21) And Enoch lived sixty and five years, and begat Methuselah: (22) And Enoch walked with God after he begat Methuselah three hundred years, and Enoch begat sons and daughters: (23) And all the days of Enoch were three hundred sixty and five years: (24) And Enoch walked with God: and he [was] not; for God took him.
... Some believe that Methuselah's extreme age is the result of an ancient mistranslation that converted months to years, producing a more credible 969 lunar months, or 78½ years, but the same calculation applied to Enoch would have him fathering Methuselah at the age of 5 using numbers from the Masoretic Text.
... Another commentator argued that the Septuagint Genesis 5 numbers are in tenths of years, which will explain how it was that they read 930 years for the age of Adam instead of 93 years, and 969 years for Methuselah instead of 96 years, and 950 years for that of Noah instead of 95 years. . .
... Among those who believe that all the numbers of Genesis 5, including Methuselah's age, have no meaning at all, Kenneth Kitchen calls them pure myth, Yigal Levin believes they are intended simply to speed the reader from Adam to Noah, and Claus Westermann believes they are intended to create the impression of a distant past.
There is absolutely nothing that isn't thoroughly covered in the book. It is straightforward, and does an excellent job of explaining all about Methuselah in key topics and material. There is no reason to invest in any other materials to learn about Methuselah. You'll understand it all.
Inside the Guide: Methuselah, Sefer haYashar (midrash), Patriarchs (Bible), Methuselah Foundation, Maximum life span, Longevity myths, Longevity, Lamech (father of Noah), Jared (biblical figure), Harrowing of Hell, Generations of Adam, Genealogies of Genesis, Enoch (ancestor of Noah), Cheshvan, Book of Enoch, Blade Runner
