Who is…
Methusael

also known as: Methushael

Hebrew: מְתוּשָׁאֵל —transliteration: Methusael or Methushael —meaning: champion of El; man of God

This is a male descendant of Adam’s son Cain (Genesis 4:18) who lived in the pre-Flood world.

His name possibly indicates that even among the descendants of Cain God had not left himself without a witness.

No further details, ages, events, or character are given. He is distinct from the long-lived Methuselah in Seth's line (Genesis 5).

Lineage: Adam and Eve → Cain → Enoch → Irad → Mehujael → Methushael → Lamech
