ReplyDelete28 After the flood Noah lived 350 years. 29 Noah lived a total of 950 years, and then he died.
also I wonder why its important to know NOah's length of life before and after the flood. maybe for mathematicians to analyze how many kids he could have had--who knows but God took time to put it in the bible for us. must be a reason right?
