Jared
A patriarch in the genealogy from Adam to Noah, recorded in Genesis and the lineage of Jesus.
Jared was the son of Mahalalel and the father of Enoch, serving as a link in the antediluvian genealogy. He lived to be 962 years old, making him the second-longest-lived person mentioned in the Bible. His significance lies in his role within the ancestral line connecting the earliest generations of humanity to the covenant history of Israel and the genealogy of Jesus Christ.
