Genesis 5:31

And all the days of Lamech were 777 years [7 and 70 years and 700 years].
And he died.
[There are two Lamechs in prehistory. The first Lamech is a descendant of Cain, the brother murderer. This Lamech was the first polygamist and he boasted about killing a man, see Gen. 4:19–24. He was the seventh generation from Adam and Eve. The second Lamech is described here and was Noah's father. He lived to be exactly 777 years old, which can be interpreted as meaning that he was a righteous man. He is the ninth generation from Adam and Eve and a descendant of Seth. It is very likely that Lamech saw the ark that his son built. He died five years before the flood came.]
