Lamech
Generation 7 from Adam
Biography
The father of Noah and son of Methuselah, Lamech lived 777 years. When Noah was born, Lamech prophesied that his son would bring comfort from the curse on the ground, naming him Noah (meaning 'rest' or 'comfort'). Lamech died five years before the flood.
Lamech's prophecy about Noah reveals faith in God's eventual relief from the curse, which was partially fulfilled through the flood's judgment and the new beginning after.
