«b»Jared (Jered)
«/b»Meaning: descent
This was the name of two biblical «u»men \ulnone…
The fourth «u»antediluvian «/u» «u»patriarch «/u» in descent from «u»Seth «/u» («u»Gen. 5:15-20 «/u»; «u»Luke 3:37 «/u»), the father of «u»Enoch «/u»; called Jered in «u»1 Chr. 1:2 «/u».
A son of «u»Ezra «/u» probably («u»1 Chr. 4:18 «/u»).

Jared«/b» or «b»Jered«/b» («u»Hebrew «/u»: , «i»descent«/i» or «i»to descend«/i») in «u»Judeo-Christian «/u» religious belief was a fifth-generation «u»descendant «/u» of the first «u»human beings «/u», «u»Adam and Eve «/u».
«b»Tradition
«/b»His father «u»Mahalalel «/u», great-grandson of «u»Seth «/u» son of «u»Adam «/u», was stated to be 65 years of age when Jared was born. In the apocryphal \ul«i»Book of Jubilees \ulnone«/i», his mother's name is Dinah.
«i»Jubilees«/i» adds that Jared married Beraka, and the «u»Bible «/u» speaks of Jared having become father to many sons and daughters. Of those children, only «u»Enoch «/u» is named specifically, born when Jared was 162 years old («u»Genesis 5:18 «/u», «u»5:22a «/u», «u»5:24 «/u», «u»Hebrews 11:5b «/u», «u»Jude 14-15 «/u»). Enoch went on to marry Edna, according to «i»Jubilees«/i», and the sole named grandchild of Jared is Enoch's son «u»Methuselah «/u», the longest-living human mentioned in the Bible («u»Genesis 5:18 «/u», «u»5:21 «/u»).
Additionally, Jared was a forefather of «u»Noah«/u» and «u»his three sons «/u». Jared's age was given as 962 years old when he died, making him the second-oldest person mentioned in the «u»Hebrew Bible «/u» and the «u»Septuagint «/u». In the «u»Samaritan Pentateuch «/u», his age was 62 at fatherhood and only 847 at death, making Noah the oldest and Jared the seventh-oldest.
His primary history is recounted in «u»Genesis 5:18-20 «/u».
«b»Name
«/b»In «u»English translations of the Bible «/u», such as the «u»King James Version of the Bible «/u», the classical Biblical pronunciation of the English name «i»Jared«/i» is «u»/'d???r?d/ «/u»; generally though it is pronounced «u»/'d??r?d/ «/u» or «u»/'d??r?d/ «/u». The spelling of the identical name in «u»1 Chronicles «/u» is «i»Jered«/i». The original «u»Hebrew «/u» pronunciation of the name, , found in the «u»Hebrew Bible «/u», was similar but with an initial «i»y«/i» sound: «u»[j?r?ð] «/u».
According to the «u»Book of Enoch «/u», Mahalalel "named [his son] Jared "descent" because during his lifetime the angels of the Lord who were called «u»Watchers «/u» descended to earth to teach mankind and to do what is just and upright upon the earth".
«b»Longevity
«/b»In recent history, the oldest person documented beyond reasonable doubt, «u»Jeanne Calment «/u», died in 1997, aged 122; demographic study of modern human «u»longevity «/u» gives odds of trillions to one against humans today reaching 130. The application of modern demographic data to ancient eras is unclear. The extreme ages of the Hebrew Bible exhibit a decrease over time, and the Biblical upper limit of longevity has been categorized by «u»Witness Lee «/u» as having four successive plateaus of 1,000, 500, 200, and finally 120 years.
Accordingly, these very long lifespans have been a source of much speculation, with special emphasis on Methuselah and Jared as record-holders. Biblical «u»apologists «/u» hold that «u»sin «/u», loss of the water-canopy «u»firmament «/u», and «u»DNA «/u» breakdown all contribute to decreased lifespans. «u»Form critics «/u» hold variously that the yearly and monthly cycle were confused, simplifying some dates; that numbers were converted incorrectly; or that other reinterpretation is necessary. If "year" is interpreted consistently as "month", numbers like Jared's age become reasonable (962 lunar months or 78 years), but other numbers become more unreasonable (fathering children at age 5).«u»[1]«/u»

"Such an interpretation would have made Enoch only five years old when his son was born!"
