This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Gen_5:19 And Jared lived after he begat Enoch eight hundred years, and begat sons and daughters:
Ver. 19. And Jared lived after he begat Enoch.] He lived the longer, likely, for the great content he took in so good a son. Towardly and hopeful children do help to lengthen their parents’ days. God therefore lengtheneth theirs, according to that “first commandment with promise.” {Eph_6:2} Or, if he take from them this long lease, he gives them, as he did Enoch, a freehold of a better value.
