The ages associated with Noah at key points in his life fall into two groups - numbers that were easy for the tradents to remember when handing the story down orally, and that based on the magic number 17. The above two ages are, of course, easy for a story-teller to remember. He died at the age of 950 years, which is easy to remember but also follows a standard formula used for most of the legendary characters in Genesis: 13x9 + 49x17 [7x7x17].

∙ 11y agoNo. In the story of Noah, as told in the Book of Genesis, Noah was five hundred years old when he first became a father (5:32). The Flood happened when Noah was six hundred (7:11), when his oldest son would have been one hundred years old, but Shem did not turn one hundred until two years after the Flood (11:10). In Genesis 9:24, we were told that Ham is the youngest.
Japheth is portrayed as the oldest son, followed by Shem two years later, then Ham.

How is the time from Adam to Noah figured?
Since Adam and Noah did not exist outside the Bible, the only way to figure this is from the biblical evidence. The Bible gives fourteen generations from Adam to Noah and says how old each father was when his first son was born. By adding these ages together, we find that the biblical Noah was born 1056 years after Adam.
How old was Shem when he died?
According to Genesis 11:10-11, Shem was 600 years old when he died. This part of Genesis has all the hallmarks of fiction, so we should not accept this as Shem's real age even if he was a real, historical person. Noah was 500 years old when he first became a father (Genesis 5:32) and the Flood happened when Noah was 600 (Genesis 7:11). Shem was exactly 100 years old when he became a father, and then lived to 600 years. Too many nice, round numbers.
