1 | age limit of 120 years after Noah's sons | Gen 6:3 | thewordthisweek | 213660 | ||
In Genesis, it states that after Shem, Ham and Japheth, who are Noah's sons, no man will live more than 120 years. Yet, later we see that Abraham and Isaac both lived more than 170 years. Can someone please help me with this. I am pleasantly confused. | ||||||
2 | age limit of 120 years after Noah's sons | Gen 6:3 | stjohn | 213667 | ||
Upon reading, John Calvin's Bible Commentary, John Darby's Synopsis of the Bible, The Geneva study Bible, John Gill's Exposition of the Bible, Jamieson Faussett and Brown Bible Commentary, Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary of the Bible, John Wesley's notes on the Bible, Ryrie study Bible. None of which refer to the 120 years as the life-span of man, and all that mention this verse specifically, though some renderings are a bit deferent, all pretty much refer to the 120 years as the time that God would withhold his Judgment before bringing the flood. When read in context it seems clear enough that this is the intended meaning and not the life-span of man. Not that it is difinitive but Psalm 90:10 reads: "As for the days of our life, they contain seventy years, Or if due to strength, eighty years, Yet their pride is but labor and sorrow; For soon it is gone and we fly away." NASB John |
