Bible Question: Were the years Noah and others lives the same length as the years we now count? |
Bible Answer: Dear Jackcap98, In "Halley's Bible Handbook" it says that Noah lived 600 years before the Flood and 950 all together. This is on page 85, where it lists the ages of all the Patriarchs. In the Scripture [Genesis 5:32] it says: "And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham and Japheth." (I never noticed this before, were these three triplets?- interesting) Later it says, in Genesis 9:28-29 - "And Noah lived after the Flood three hundred and fifty years. And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died." Itiswritten |
