Methuselah
And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years, and begot Lamech.. . . So all the days of Methuselah were nine-hundred and sixty nine years; and he died -Genesis 5:25
Methuselah is from the first book of the bible Genesis. When referred to his name, it means something that is very old or even the oldest. In the book of Genesis, there is a listing of generations of who was the child of who. Methuselah is the son of Enoch, and the father of Lamech, he lived nine hundred sixty nine years. Today, because of the biblical reference, people use the name to describe something being old. The term has no deep meaning but is just lightly used for its description. People use it in pictures, movies, advertisements, books, poems, and many others.

without knowing the background of
Methuselah, one wouldn't know the
reasoning behind the tree. Methuselah,
because she was so old, had a tree in
her name. The tree has the resemblance
of something old, so there is the allusion
to the biblical Methuselah
It makes things gone perpetually to lastAnd calls back months and years that long since fledIt makes a man more aged in conceit,Than was Methuselah or’s grand-sire great:While of their persons and their acts his mind doth treat.-Contemplations by Anne Bradstreet( again referring to old age)
