Bible Question: Why did people in the old testament start dying at an ealier age? |
Bible Answer: Hello Bible101, This started after Adam and Eve got kicked out of Eden. The Bible doesn't specifically state why this happened, however, the people after the flood had a different diet than those before. Compare what God gave men to eat before and after the flood: Gen. 1:16-17 in the garden of Eden - when Adam and Eve had "immortality". Then came sin and a change of diet - Gen. 3:17-18 - and Adam and Eve had "limited" lifespans. Then after the flood another change in diet - Gen.9:3 and mankind slowly began to live shorter and shorter lives. That's the only explanation I have. |
