Genesis 5:17 And all the days of Mahaleel were eight hundred ninety and five years: and he died. 895 yrs. 20 And all the days of Jared were nine hundred sixty and two years: and he died. 962 yrs.
Genesis 5:27 And all the days of Methuselah were nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died. 969 yrs. 31 And all the days of Lamech were seven hundred seventy and seven years: and he died. 777 yrs…. This brings us to Noah and his sons who bridged the great divide between the antediluvian world, and the genealogies that came after the flood. When we read carefully, we’ll observe two patterns emerging, as pertains to life spans.
We must also bear in mind that Noah and his sons were the last from that line of long livers…. Genesis 9:29 And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died. 950 years. Genesis 11:10 These are the generations of Shem: Shem was a hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood. 11 And Shem lived after he begat Arphaxad five hundred years, and begat sons and daughters. 600 yrs.
Genesis 11:12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah. 13 And Arphaxad lived after he begat Salah four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. 438 yrs. 14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber. 15 And Salah lived after he begat Eber four hundred and three years, and begat sons and daughters. 433 yrs. 16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg.
Genesis 11:17 And Eber lived after he begat Peleg four hundred and thirty years, and begat sons and daughters. 464 yrs.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
