515、创世记5:19-20.雅列生以诺之后,又活了八百年;并且生儿育女。雅列所有的日子是九百六十二年;他就死了。
这些话在含义上和前面类似的话一样。大洪水以前的人年纪实际上没有这么大,如雅列九百六十二岁,玛土撒拉九百六十九岁。谁都能清楚看出这一点,尤其从蒙主的神性怜悯,下一章第三节经文的说明清楚看出来,那里说:“他们的日子将是一百二十年”。因此,具体的年数不是指任何具体的人的年纪,而是指教会的时间和状态。

[NCE]515. Genesis 5:19-20. And after Jared fathered Enoch he lived eight hundred years, and he fathered sons and daughters. And all Jared's days were nine hundred sixty-two years, and he died.
The meanings again are the same as those mentioned above [482, 487-489, 494]. Anyone can see that their ages did not really extend as far as 962 years in Jared's case and 969 in Methuselah's. The same thing can also be seen from the points that will be made at verse 3 of the next chapter [575], by the Lord's divine mercy, where the text says, "Their days will be one hundred twenty years." The number of years, then, does not mean the lifetime of any individual but the times and states of the church.

515. Verses 19, 20. And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years, and he died. The signification of these words also is similar to that of the like words above. That the ages of the antediluvians were not so great, as that of Jared nine hundred and sixty-two years, and that of Methuselah nine hundred and sixty-nine years, must appear to everyone, especially from what of the Lord's Divine mercy will be said at verse 3 of the next chapter, where we read, "Their days shall be a hundred and twenty years;" so that the number of the years does not signify the age of any particular man, but the times and states of the church.
Elliott(1983-1999) 515
515. Verses 19, 20 And Jared lived after he beget Enoch eight hundred years; and he beget sons and daughters. And all the days of Jared were nine hundred and sixty-two years; and he died.
These words also are similar in meaning to those that have been dealt with already. The fact that these characters' ages were not actually that great - for example, Jared's being nine hundred and sixty-two years, and Methuselah's being nine hundred and sixty-nine - must be clear to everyone. It will also become clear from what will in the Lord's Divine mercy be stated at verse 3 of the next chapter, where it is said, 'Their days will be one hundred and twenty years'. Consequently a specific number of years does not mean the life-span of some person or other but periods of time and states of the Church.

515. Vers. 19, 20. Et vixit Jared, postquam genuit illum Hanochum, octingentis annis; et genuit filios et filias. Et fuerunt omnes dies Jaredi, duo et sexaginta anni et nongenti anni; et mortuus est. Haec quoque similiter se habent ac illa de quibus prius. Quod non aetates eorum tantae fuerint, ut Jaredi duorum {1} et sexaginta et nongentorum annorum et Methushelahi novem {2} et sexaginta et nongentorum cuivis quoque constare potest; tum etiam ex illis quae ex Divina Domini Misericordia dicentur ad cap. seq. vers. 3, ubi dicitur 'Erunt dies eorum centum et viginti anni,' quare annorum numerus non significat aetatem vitae alicujus hominis sed tempora et status Ecclesiae. @ 1 962 I. $ @ 2 969 I.$
