Subject: who was the oldest man |
Bible Note: Dear Tamara, Welcome to the forum. You say : "...their age then went down to 120 years as the Bible says;..." Did you get the idea from Gen 6:3? If so, how would you reconcile the scripture with the following fact? The scripture would not be wrong, but just our interpretation could be mistaken. Repost of an old post #133609 by following him: "If God limited the life span of men to 120 years, and this restiction came before the flood, how is it that those after the flood lived to well over 120 years. Shem - 602 Arpachshad - 438 Selah - 433 Eber - 464 Peleg - 239 Reu - 239 Serug - 230 Nahor - 148 Terah - 205 Abraham - 175 Issac - 180 Jacob - 140 All of these men except Shem were born after the flood. So it appears that perhaps God was not talking about the life span of man when He mantioned the 120 years. If He did, then why did these all live so much longer." Thank you for your further enlightenment. Shalom Azure |
