According to the book of Genesis he was 600 years old at the time of the flood.
Abraham wasn't born when Noah built the ark.
The story of Noah and the ark is found in the first book of the old testament Genesis.
Wel,l Noah was old just because he was old. He wasn't purposely made that way. We all age. God probably picked Noah to build the Ark because he was old and wise. Remember, old people aren't as boring as you think. Listen to their stories.
Jesus never got into the ark, that was Noah from the Old Testament.
After Noah and his family left the ark, Noah built an alter where he offered burnt offerings to God. Then he and his family did as God told them ~ to " be fruitful and multiply; spread out over the earth and multiply on it." (Gen 8:7 HSBC). Noah was the first man to build a vinyard before he died at the ripe old age of 950. (Noah's life is described in the Bible in the book of Genesis, chapters 5-9.)
Noah was 600 years old.Genesis 7:10 says that the flood waters came 7 days after completion of the Ark Genesis 7:6 says: "Noah was six hundred years old when the floodwaters came on the earth." (NIV).
Noah's ark is an old testament story which means it is true for both jewish and christian people.
Noah was 600 years old when the flood started (Genesis 7:6), and we also know that he already had his sons (he had them after turning 500 - Genesis 5:32) when God spoke to him (God mentions his taking his wife, sons and daughter-in-laws with him, when He tells of His plan with the ark - Genesis 6:18). So when he built the ark he was somewhere between 500 and 600 years old, give or take some years, as his sons were already married; it really depends on when God came to him and how long it took to build the boat.
Genesis 6:9-7:5 is the account of Noah, and though it doesn't directly say how long it took God to talk to Noah after the ark was completed, if we consider that Noah was 500 years old before he even had his sons(Genesis 5:32), and the flood began when he was 600 years old(Genesis 7:6), it wasn't long. -Noah's sons were already grown with wives during the time they helped him build the ark (Genesis 6:13-18) -the ark undoubtedly took a long time to build, taking up probably 50-60 years. -then to fill it with animals so it wasn't long after the ark was completed and filled before God spoke to Noah telling him he was going to bring the flood 'in just 7 days'(Genesis 7:4).
The Bible does not say. Presumably they did when they were old enough.
