After the flood
This phrase marks a significant transition in biblical history. The flood was a divine judgment on a corrupt world, and Noah's survival signifies a new beginning for humanity. The flood narrative is a pivotal event, symbolizing both judgment and salvation. It parallels the concept of baptism in the New Testament, representing death to sin and a new life in Christ (1 Peter 3:20-21). The floodwaters cleansed the earth, much like how baptism symbolizes the washing away of sin.

Noah lived
Noah's life post-flood is a testament to God's grace and the fulfillment of His promises. Noah is a patriarchal figure, and his longevity is indicative of the blessings bestowed upon him. His life serves as a bridge between the antediluvian (pre-flood) and postdiluvian (post-flood) worlds. Noah's righteousness and obedience to God are highlighted in Genesis 6:9, making him a type of Christ, who is the ultimate righteous one.

350 years
The mention of 350 years emphasizes the extended lifespans of early biblical figures, which gradually decreased after the flood. This longevity allowed Noah to witness the repopulation and re-civilization of the earth. It also underscores the continuity of God's covenant with humanity through Noah. The number 350, while not directly symbolic, contributes to the biblical theme of completeness and divine order, as seen in the genealogies and chronologies of Genesis. Noah's extended life allowed him to impart wisdom and knowledge to subsequent generations, ensuring the preservation of God's laws and teachings.

Teaching Points
The Longevity of Faithfulness
Noah's long life after the flood signifies the enduring nature of a life lived in obedience to God. His continued presence on earth serves as a testament to God's faithfulness and the blessings of a righteous life.

The Importance of New Beginnings
Just as Noah began anew after the flood, believers are called to embrace new beginnings in their spiritual lives, leaving behind past sins and walking in the newness of life offered through Christ.

God's Covenant and Promises
The post-flood life of Noah is a reminder of God's covenant with humanity. Believers can trust in God's promises, knowing that He is faithful to His word.

Legacy and Influence
Noah's life after the flood highlights the impact one person's faithfulness can have on future generations. Believers are encouraged to consider the legacy they are leaving for those who come after them.Verses 28, 29. - And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. I.e. to the fifty-eighth year of the life of Abram, and was thus in all probability a witness of the building of the tower of Babel, and of the consequent dispersion of mankind. And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died. Tuch, Bleek, and Colenso connect these verses with ver. 17, as the proper continuation of the Elohist's work.
