Man living at the time before the Flood
Lamech the father of Noah
Methuselah’s son and Noah’s father. He was 182 when Noah was born, and named him with a hope: “This one will comfort us in our work and in the toil of our hands, caused by the ground which Yahweh has cursed” (Genesis 5:28–29). Lamech lived 777 years (Genesis 5:31). By the figures in Genesis he died five years before the flood. This is not the Lamech of Cain’s line (Genesis 4:18–24).
Named his son Noah, hoping for relief from the curse (Genesis 5:29). Died 5 years before the Flood. Not the same Lamech as Cain's descendant in Genesis 4.
