- Title
THE AGES OF THE PERSONALITIES IN GENESIS.
- Authors
ABRAM, LEO MICHEL
- Abstract
The article focuses on the ages attributed to the early human ancestors in Genesis. It mentions that the oldest of them, Methuselah, is reported to have lived 969 years, followed by Noah, who loved 950 years, and Adam, who lived 930 years. It indicates that the significance of the long years can be seen in an Ancient Sumerian document, a Cuneiform prism, which contains a list of the Antediluvian Kings whose ages are far greater than those of the Patriarchs of Genesis.
