So Jared lived a total of 962 years, and then he died.
Genesis 5:20, Berean Standard Bible
Explanation preview
Jared belongs to the genealogy that traces the line from Adam to Noah. The chapter follows a steady pattern for each father: his age when his son was born, the years that followed, other sons and daughters, a total, and the refrain "and then he died." Jared's 962 years is the second longest lifespan in the Bible, surpassed only by his son Methuselah.
