The Hebrew word מְתוּשָׁאֵל (me.tu.sha.el) is a proper name, specifically a person's name, with the Strong's number H4967. It appears twice in the Bible. The transliteration of the name is Methushael. The name Methushael is unique and does not convey a specific meaning or function. It is not a title, a word describing a characteristic, or a concept. Instead, it serves as a personal identifier, likely given to an individual by their parents or community. As a proper name, Methushael's significance lies in its association with the individuals who bear it. The two occurrences in the Bible may indicate that Methushael was a significant figure or a notable ancestor in the biblical narrative. However, without further context, the name itself does not reveal any inherent meaning or importance.
