After the flood, Noah lived 350 years
on Genesis 9:28-29
Noah lives 350 years after the flood, and the refrain of Genesis 5 closes over him, and then he died. The man who walked through the judgment still comes under the sentence of 3:19, and Jerome reads the 120 years of 6:3 as a term of warning to that generation. Noah's whole life ran 950 years.
The record, by era
The Medieval Church1 voice
But Noah lived three hundred and fifty years after the flood, and all the days of his life were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
The Puritans and the Awakening2 voices
4 But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat. 5 And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man's brother will I require the life of man. 6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
