In Genesis, how many years did Noah live after the Flood?
Answer
350 years
Answer
350 years
In Genesis 9:28, Noah is said to have lived 350 years after the Flood. The verse places this statement after the Flood narrative and before the account of Noah’s death at age 950.
Genesis gives Noah’s age at several points. He is 500 when the text introduces his sons, 600 when the Flood begins, and 950 when he dies. The difference between age 600 at the Flood and age 950 at death is 350 years, matching the explicit statement in Genesis 9:28.
This figure is separate from the 150 days during which the Flood waters prevailed and from the roughly year-long sequence of the Flood account. Ancient biblical lifespans are presented as part of the genealogy and chronology of Genesis. The passage does not provide a modern historical or biological explanation for Noah’s exceptional age.
