5:25-27

וַיְחִ֣י מְתוּשֶׁ֔לַח
שֶׁ֧בַע וּשְׁמֹנִ֛ים  שָׁנָ֖ה   וּמְאַ֣ת שָׁנָ֑ה

And MetuShelach lived
one hundred and eighty seven years;

וַיֹּ֖ולֶד  אֶת־לָֽמֶךְ׃

And he begat Lemech;

וַֽיְחִ֣י מְתוּשֶׁ֗לַח   אַֽחֲרֵי֙   הֹולִידֹ֣ו אֶת־לֶ֔מֶךְ

And MetuShelech lived, after his begetting Lemech,

שְׁתַּ֤יִם וּשְׁמֹונִים֙  שָׁנָ֔ה
וּשְׁבַ֥ע מֵאֹ֖ות  שָׁנָ֑ה

seven hundred and eighty two years;

וַיֹּ֥ולֶד בָּנִ֖ים  וּבָנֹֽות׃

And he begat sons and daughters;

וַיִּהְיוּ֙  כָּל־יְמֵ֣י מְתוּשֶׁ֔לַח

So all the days of MetuShelach were

תֵּ֤שַׁע וְשִׁשִּׁים֙  שָׁנָ֔ה
וּתְשַׁ֥ע מֵאֹ֖ות  שָׁנָ֑ה

nine hundred and sixty nine years;

וַיָּמֹֽת׃ פ

And he died;
