According to Genesis 7:6, how old was Noah when the Flood came over the earth?

According to Genesis 7:6, Noah was 600 years old when the Flood came over the earth. This age is given immediately before the account of Noah, his family, and the animals entering the Ark.

The number belongs to the biblical chronology of Noah’s life, not to a modern historical estimate. Genesis later says Noah lived for 350 years after the Flood and died at age 950, making his lifespan one of the longest recorded in the Bible.

A common mix-up is confusing Noah’s age at the Flood with the 120 years mentioned earlier in Genesis 6:3. That figure is associated with a divine statement before the Flood narrative, while 600 is the specific age attached to Noah’s entry into the Ark.
