Who lived for 950 years?

The key point here is matching the exact lifespan given for a biblical patriarch. In Genesis, certain antediluvian (pre-flood) figures are listed with very long ages. The phrase “all the days of Noah were 950 years” is stated explicitly, so Noah is the one who lived a total of 950 years. For context, the other figures listed lived different lengths: Adam is described as living 930 years; Methuselah lived 969 years; and Enoch, who famously was taken by God rather than dying in the usual way, is recorded as 365 years in total. The specific 950-year lifespan points to Noah, making him the correct answer.
