Genesis 5:18
"And Jared lived an hundred sixty and two years, and he begat Enoch:"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And Jared lived an hundred and sixty two years, and he begat Enoch. Here the Septuagint agrees with the Hebrew text, and the Samaritan version differs, reading only sixty two;

but this can hardly be thought to be his first son at such an age.
