Genesis 5:28
"And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son:"

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat son. According to the Septuagint version he was an hundred and eighty eight years old; but according to the

Samaritan version only fifty three; the name, of his son, begotten by him, is given in the next verse, with the reason of it.
