So Noah lived a total of 950 years
Noah's lifespan of 950 years is significant, as it places him among the longest-lived individuals recorded in the Bible. This longevity is consistent with the antediluvian (pre-Flood) patriarchs, who often lived for several centuries. The extended lifespans before the Flood are often attributed to the pristine conditions of the early earth, as well as God's blessing. After the Flood, lifespans gradually decreased, which some scholars suggest could be due to environmental changes or divine intervention. Noah's long life allowed him to witness significant events, including the repopulation of the earth and the establishment of God's covenant with humanity through the rainbow. His life serves as a bridge between the pre-Flood and post-Flood worlds, marking a transition in human history.

and then he died
The phrase "and then he died" is a common refrain in the genealogies of Genesis, emphasizing the mortality of even the most righteous individuals. Despite Noah's righteousness and his role in God's plan to preserve humanity, he was not exempt from the curse of death introduced in Genesis 3. This serves as a reminder of the consequences of sin and the universal nature of death. Noah's death marks the end of an era, as he was the last of the pre-Flood patriarchs. His passing signifies the closing of a chapter in biblical history and the continuation of God's redemptive plan through his descendants, particularly through the line of Shem, leading ultimately to the coming of Jesus Christ. Noah's life and death foreshadow the need for a savior who would conquer death, a role fulfilled by Christ, who offers eternal life to those who believe in Him.

Teaching Points
The Legacy of Faithfulness
Noah's life of 950 years is a testament to his enduring faith and obedience to God. His legacy challenges us to live faithfully, regardless of the length of our days.

The Certainty of Mortality
Despite his righteousness and long life, Noah's death reminds us of the inevitability of mortality. It encourages us to focus on eternal values and our relationship with God.

The Importance of Covenant
Noah's life and the covenant God made with him highlight the importance of living in a covenant relationship with God, marked by trust and obedience.

The Role of Righteousness
Noah's righteousness set him apart in a corrupt world. We are called to live righteously, standing firm in our faith amidst societal pressures.

The Impact of Obedience
Noah's obedience led to the preservation of humanity. Our obedience to God can have far-reaching impacts, influencing generations to come.(29) All the days of Noah.--While Noah attained to the same age as the antediluvian patriarchs, 950 years, human life was fast diminishing. The whole life-time of Shem was 600 years; that of Peleg, a few generations afterwards, only 239. After him only one man, Terah, is described as living more than 200 years, and of his age there is great doubt. (See Note on Genesis 11:32.) Thus before Shem's death the age of man was rapidly shortening, and things were settling down to that condition in which they are set before us in profane literature.
