• Notes

  It is said that God delayed the Flood specifically because of the seven days of mourning in honor of the righteous Methuselah. Methuselah appears in two important Jewish works from the 3rd and 2nd centuries BC. In the Book of Enoch,[5] Enoch (as the narrator) tells Methuselah of the coming worldwide flood and of the future Messianic kingdom. The Book of Jubilees names Methuselah's mother and his wife
