According to Genesis, how long did Noah live after the Flood?
Answer
350 years
Answer
350 years
According to Genesis, Noah lived 350 years after the Flood.
Genesis 9:28 states that Noah lived 350 years after the Flood. Since Genesis 9:29 gives his total lifespan as 950 years, the two figures fit together: 600 years at the Flood plus 350 years afterward equals 950 years.
This is different from the commonly remembered age of 600, which marks Noah’s age when the Flood began. It is also different from the 40 days of rain and the 150 days during which the waters prevailed.
The ages in Genesis belong to the text’s genealogical and chronological framework. They are not accompanied by a securely identifiable modern historical date for the Flood. Noah’s later story includes the vineyard episode and the naming of his sons, but the stated post-Flood lifespan remains 350 years.
