Краткое содержание
- Adam lived 930 years: “And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died” (Genesis 5:5). The Hebrew text, the Greek Septuagint and the Samaritan Pentateuch all agree on that figure, and the Bible never gives Eve’s age or records her death.
- In the Hebrew text Methuselah lived longest, 969 years, and died in the year of the Flood; the Septuagint’s numbers have him outlive the Flood, and the Samaritan Pentateuch gives him 720 years.
- After the Flood, lives fall generation by generation: Shem 600, Abraham 175, Jacob 147, Moses 120.
- The 120 years of Genesis 6:3 have been read both as a limit on a human life and as the time left before the Flood.
- Augustine rejected the idea that the patriarchs’ years were shorter than ours, and reading the ages as months would make Enoch a father at about five.
- Justin Martyr and others said Adam died within a “day” of a thousand years, as Genesis 2:17 warned.
