Bible Note: Hello Edd: The scriptures do not say how old Noah was when he started to build the ark. Also Gen 6 is not chronilogically after Gen 5. Gen 5 is only a listing of the geneology up to the time of the flood. Gen 6 takes place somewhere during Gen 5. Gen 6:1 is the only time indicator when it says when men began to multiply on the face of the earth. This could be anytime before Noah. So God's command for Noah to build the ark could have taken place prior to Noah's sons being born; 20 years for that matter. |
