Gen 5:30 And Lamech lived after he begat Noah five hundred ninety and five years, and begat sons and daughters:

Ver. 30. Five hundred, &c.] And yet if one had asked old Lamech, as he in Gerson did an old Frenchman, Quot annos habes ? How many years old are you? he might have answered as there, Annos non habeo , I reckon not upon any years: but death has avoided me these five hundred and odd years.
