Sorry...

Depends on which version of Genesis you read (MT, LXX, Sam). It was a well-known problem in rabbinical thought with various attempts to solve it (i.e. how could he still be alive after the Flood). I could maybe look up some references later.

I learn so much here... I never realized that this was a problem!
Awaiting Leolaia's reply... or anyone's, for that matter...

I still like the Simpson's reference of Methuselah
Bart: Oh boy! Free trading cards!
Milhouse: Wow! Joseph of Arimathea! Twenty six conversions in A.D. 46.
Nelson: Whoa, a Methuselah rookie card!
Flanders: Heh heh, well boys, who'd have thought learning about religion could be fun?
Bart: Religion?
Milhouse: Learning?
Nelson: Let's get out of here!

The Book of Jasher Chapter 5 vs 36 - And it was at that time Methuselah the son of Enoch died, nine hundred and sixty years old was he, at his death.
The Book of Genesis Chap 5 vs 27 - And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.
