Wickedness in the World
6 When human beings began to increase in number on the earth(D) and daughters were born to them,2 the sons of God(E) saw that the daughters(F) of humans were beautiful,(G) and they married(H) any of them they chose.3 Then the Lord said, “My Spirit(I) will not contend with humans forever,(J) for they are mortal;(K) their days will be a hundred and twenty years.”

How Old Was Noah, Exactly, When He Died?
The question “how old was Noah when he died?” is one of those classic Bible trivia questions, right up there with “how old was Methuselah?” While it would be easy to give the basic answer, there’s actually a lot of background material that’s worth knowing. Knowing not just how old was Noah when he died, but whether living that long was unusual for his generation, gives us a snapshot of what life was like before and after the flood.
How Old Was Noah When He Died?
Genesis 5-10 gives a timeline of Noah’s family, which allows us to see how old was Noah when he died, as well as how old he was at key moments in his life.

Noah’s Family
Noah’s family tree had some big names: Adam (yes, from the Garden of Eden), Enoch (the one that didn’t die), and Methuselah (the oldest man ever recorded), to name a few! And did you know there were only nine generations before him?
Ticket OptionsLamech
Noah’s father was Lamech, not to be confused with Cain’s descendant who was the first known polygamist. We don’t have many details about Noah’s father, but when Noah was born, he said: “This one will comfort us concerning our work and the toil of our hands, because of the ground which the Lord has cursed.”
Noah’s Genealogy
Since Noah was born in the tenth generation and people typically lived 800–900 years, Noah could’ve had some pretty old family members visit at family reunions. Everyone was pretty closely related anyway! It must have burdened Noah to see so many relatives rejecting the God who had created them only a few generations ago.
