How old was Adam when he sinned?

Answer 1

No information was given in the book of Genesis as to Eve's age. But the fifth chapter of Genesis gave information about Adam's age. For example, it stated that Adam was 130 years old when his third son, Seth, was born. It also stated that Adam lived another 800 years, and died at the age of 930 years.

Answer:For those who believe in The Bible, there is no reason not to believe that Adam and Eve died at the age of 930 years old. We don't live that long today, exactly as God decreed (Genesis 6:3).

Answer 2

There are two creation stories in Genesis - the first is in Genesis 1:1-2:4a (the first sentence of 2:4), while the second is in Genesis 2:4b-2:25.

The first creation story says that the creation event took just six days. It has "man, both male and female" (equivalent to Adam and Eve) being created on the same day and apparently at exactly the same time, so there is no difference in the ages of Adam and Eve.

The second creation story, even if accepted as literally true, does not tell us how old Adam was when Eve was created, because it does not say how long the creation event took. It only tells us that Adam was created forst of all, and that Eve was created last of all. But if we introduce the timeline from the first creation account, while ignoring the material differences, then Adam was six days old when Eve was created.

AnswerAccording the the ancient, universal wisdom of Kabbalah and the Zohar, the first day of Creation was sunday, and Adam and Eve were created on Friday of that week of Creation, just before Shabbat, the 7th day of the week, the Sabbath. That's why the Kabbalah teaches that every person can make a powerful connection to the Tree of Life consciousness on Friday night, Saturday; because we are all from Adam and Eve and they were given Sabbath as Friday night to Saturday night.

Answer 3

Adam was 930 years old when he died.

Genesis 5:5 And all the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and thirty years: and he died.

The bible did not mention anything about Eve's age when she died. God was conserned with the lineage leading up to Jesus, which is why women are not mentioned much in the bible.

This does not in anyway mean that women were unimportant to God, because they all played very important rolls in creation. Mary is a great example of just how very important women were. She was Jesus mother.

Answer 4

There are two creation stories in Genesis - the first is in Genesis 1:1-2:4a (the first sentence of 2:4), while the second is in Genesis 2:4b-2:25.

The first creation story says that the creation event took just six days. It has "man, both male and female" (equivalent to Adam and Eve) being created on the same day and apparently at exactly the same time, so there is no difference in the ages of Adam and Eve.

The second creation story, even if accepted as literally true, does not tell us how old Adam was when Eve was created, because it does not say how long God took to create all the animals one by one and for Adam to name them, before God created Eve. Although the two stories are clearly different, if we introduce the timeline from the first creation account, then Adam was six days old when Eve was created.

Answer 5

The first books of the Bible give us very detailed information about exactly how each of the ancestral figures supposedly lived very much longer than modern experience allows, from Joshua all the way back to Adam. However, with a knowledge of ancient numerology it can be shown to be impossible for the early biblical heroes to have lived to the particular ages assigned to them by chance of nature.

Adam is listed in Genesis as having lived for 930 years, Assuming Adam was a real, historical person, he did not really live to be exactly 930 years old, because that age was arrived at through numerology. Once it is accepted that his biblical age of 930 years was arrived through superstition, there is no reason to believe that he lived to a great age at all.
Ancient patriarchal societies were relatively unconcerned with women, and the Old Testament does not provide a lifespan for Eve.
