Subject: How old was Noah when began building Ark |
Bible Note: Hank The question was how old was Noah when he began building the ark. Since you, proved Noah was 600 years old upon entry into the ark we then must go back to Gen. 6:3. Here God says His sprit will strive with men for another 120 years we then see God's call to Noah. Most experts assume these event happened simultaneously and that Noah started building the Ark immediately so this would place the beginning of construction 120 years before Noah entered it. That at would make Noah 480 years old when he started construction on the Ark. Noah apparently then worked on it 20 years before his sons were born and another 100 years after for a total of 120 years making him 600 years old when he entered it. EdB |
