Source calculation and assumptions

The year of Jared_1's birth is the year his father, Mahalalel_1, was born (396) + the age of his father at Jared_1's birth (65) = 461

The year of Jared_1's death is his birth year (461) + his age at death (962) = 1423

Absolute years are conditional chronological estimates. A biblical passage may state an age or event, but does not by itself establish a BCE year. Different calendar systems are preserved separately.

Jared Summary STEPBible TIPNR

Jared was an ancestor of Noah and the father of Enoch, who walked with God.

Jared Article STEPBible TIPNR

Jared is mentioned in the genealogies of Gen 5:15-20 and 1Ch 1:2 as a descendant of Seth, the third son of Adam and Eve. He was the son of Mahalalel and the father of Enoch. Jared lived to the age of 962 years, making him the second-longest-lived person mentioned in the Bible after Methuselah. He was born when Mahalalel was 65 years old and had other sons and daughters in addition to Enoch. Jared's life is notable for being the father of Enoch, who is described as walking with God and being taken by God without experiencing death (Gen 5:22-24). In Luk 3:37, Jared is also mentioned in the genealogy of Jesus Christ, emphasizing the continuity of God's plan from creation to the coming of the Messiah.

Jared 1 Dictionary Easton's Bible Dictionary (1897)

The fourth antediluvian patriarch in descent from Seth (Gen. 5:15-20; Luke 3:37), the father of Enoch; called Jered in 1 Chr. 1:2.
