一个谜语:

在圣经上谁是最老的?

最老的人死了在他的父亲死了之前……怎么可能?

A Riddle: Who was the oldest man in the Bible?

The oldest man died before his father. How could this be?

Bazza, really appreciate you 回复ing this group. As you know, I read the Bible in both Chinese and English every day, so this helps motivate me, especially the Chinese reading.

I just happened to do a study on this genealogy(家谱 jiāpǔ) on the generations who lived on earth between 亚当(Adam) and 挪亚(Noah). I know that at first glance genealogies in the Bible can be a bit boring, but there is a lot of interesting information here, and stuff you wouldn't see if this was just made up, such as years till death diminishing due to the fall of creation. What doesn't get translated from the Hebrew is the meaning. Even if you go to a lexicon, they usually don't translate proper names. Interesting to see the meaning of all the Hebrew names put together of the genealogy:

ChineseHebrew PronunciationMeaning
亚当
yà dāng
adomah
(Adam)
means "man"
塞特
sài tè
seth
(Seth)
means "appointed"
以挪士
yǐ nuó shì
enosh
(Enosh)
means "mortal," "frail," or "miserable"
玛勒列
gāi nán
kenan
(Kenan)
means "sorrow," "dirge," or "elegy"
玛勒列
mǎ lè liè
mahalael
(Mahalalel)
mahala means "blessed" or "praise"; el means the name for God
雅列
yā liè
yared
(Jared)
from the verb yaradh, meaning "shall come down."
以诺
yǐ nuò
enoch
(Enoch)
means "commencement," or "teaching."
玛土撒拉
mǎ tǔ sǎ lā
muthshalach
(Methuselah)
muth is a root that means "death"; shalach, which means "to bring," or "to send forth"
拉麦
lā mài
lamech
(Lamech)
a root still evident today in our own English word, "lament" or "lamentation."
挪亚
nuó yà
noah
(Noah)
which is derived from nacham, "to bring relief" or "comfort"

So, taking the meanings of all these names (and finding an easy way to remember them) we have:

亚当 (Adam)==> Man (is)
塞特 (Seth)==> Appointed
以挪士 (Enosh)==> Mortal
该南 (Kenan)==> Sorrow; (but)
玛勒列 (Mahalalel)==> The Blessed God
雅列 (Jared)==> Shall come down
以诺 (Enoch)==> Teaching
玛土撒拉 (Methuselah)==> His death shall bring
拉麦 (Lamech)==> The Despairing
挪亚 (Noah)==> Comfort, Rest

Thus, which I find really cool, and kind find things like this all through out the Bible, is that we have the whole message of the Bible/the Gospel i.e. God's plan:

Man is appointed mortal. Sorrow...BUT the blessed God shall come down, teaching. His death shall bring the despairing comfort and rest.

I don't know the answer to the riddle, anyone else know? Oh I forgot there's only us 2 here. ;)

Just a guess...Methuselah is recognized as being the longest lived person. His father was Enoch who is one of the couple of people who bypassed death and was taken directly by God.

Bazza, I really appreciate you putting this all together. Rich, that's excellent information above, thanks! Anyone have the pinyin? Cathy

I've found a pinyin version, so I'll add the pinyin as well. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be any way to edit a lesson once it's posted without posting it again and deleting the original.

Sorry that I haven't stopped by here in a while. Okay, the answer to the riddle was right there in your list:

Oldest man in the Bible: Methuselah, who lived 969 years

How did he die before his father then?: Enoch, his father, never died, but according to what was written, he was taken up to be with God without dying.

21  When Enoch had lived 65 years, he became the father of Methuselah.  
22  And after he became the father of Methuselah, Enoch walked with God 300 years and had other sons and daughters. 
23  Altogether, Enoch lived 365 years.  
24  Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away.  
25  When Methuselah had lived 187 years, he became the father of Lamech.    
26  And after he became the father of Lamech, Methuselah lived 782 years and had other sons and daughters.  
27  Altogether, Methuselah lived 969 years, and then he died.

I just joined. Don't know how active I will be, but since I am working on memorizing characters I don't know yet (there are thousands, still), I thought I might as well work with texts I am familiar with...
