Genesis 5:27-29

New International Reader's Version

²⁷ Methuselah lived a total of 969 years. And then he died.

²⁸ Lamech lived 182 years. Then he had a son ²⁹ and named him Noah. Lamech said, “He will comfort us when we are working. He’ll comfort us when our hands work so hard they hurt. We have to work hard because the Lord put a curse on the ground.”
