What Is Your Definition of Long Life?

How old one gets becomes a secondary issue when we place importance rather on how impactful we are in our life time. We know Methuselah was the oldest in the Bible. His name is mentioned elsewhere in 1 Chronicles and Luke but the most we read of him was summed in Genesis 5:27 “Methuselah lived 969 years, and then he died”. That’s all.

In Genesis 6:3, the maximal human longevity is set by the symbolic number 120 and Moses maxed that out. He died at age 120. 120 =3x40.
