1 | how long to build ark? | Gen 5:32 | CP7x77 | 2334 | ||
Noah was five hundred years old when he had his sons (before construction began) (Gen 5:32). And his sons were married when the construction began (Gen. 6:18). According to Jewish custom, a boy becomes a man when he gets his beard, so I would assume that Noah was at least 510 to 515 years old when the boys were married. When the rain began to fall, Noah was 600 years old (Gen 7:11). This leaves 85 to 90 years for Noah to build his ark. There was no shortage of time for Noah, but the amount he actually used is not clear according to scriptures. | ||||||

Hi Norrie, I think that Noah had the help of his family and the time span, the way I see it, was 120 years. This was the time that God allotted mankind before the flood and that is the basis for my thoughts on the building time. Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, "My Spirit shall not strive with man forever, for he is indeed flesh; yet his days shall be one hundred and twenty years." 1 Peter 3:18-20 For Christ also suffered once for sins, the just for the unjust, that He might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive by the Spirit, 19by whom also He went and preached to the spirits in prison, 20who formerly were disobedient, when once the Divine longsuffering waited in the days of Noah, while the ark was being prepared, in which a few, that is, eight souls, were saved through water. |
