25 When Methuselah was 187 years old, he became the father of Lamech. 26 After Lamech’s birth, Methuselah lived 782 years; and he had other sons and daughters. 27 In all, Methuselah lived 969 years, and he died.
28 When Lamech was 182 years old, he became the father of a son 29 and named him Noah, saying, “This one will give us relief[a] from our hard work, from the pain in our hands, because of the fertile land that the Lord cursed.”
