Is it true that Moses lived to around 900 years old?

Answer 1

According to The Bible, Moses lived to be 120 years old. In the biblical account, he died shortly before the invasion of Canaan. For more information about Moses, please see: http://christianity.answers.com/theology/moses-in-history-and-tradition

The question seems to be confusing Moses with Noah. According to tradition, Moses was born on the 7th of Adar, 1392 BCE, and died 120 years later in 1272 BCE.

Answer 2

-----------------------

The first books of the Bible give us very detailed information about exactly how long each of the ancestral figures lived, from Joshua all the way back to Adam. After the Patriarchs, the great Hebrew leaders were Joseph, Levi, Moses and Joshua. On the biblical evidence, Joshua lived to 110 years old.

If we want to know whether they really lived to these great ages, we only need to look at the numerology behind their ages (or the ages of the other legendary biblical leaders) and find a fascination with elegant series and the number 17 in their lives:

Name

Lifespan

Pattern

Joshua

110

5x5 + 5x17

Moses

120

7x5 + 5x17

Levi

137

7x5 + 6x17

Joseph

110

5x5 + 5x17

The consistent use of series involving predictable factors and the number 17 tells us more about the early Hebrews than the lives of their heroes. We do not really know how long Joshua lived, if indeed he was a real, historical person.

Answer 3

Opinion: you need to consider that the bible is a collection of Hebrew mythology and no real evidence exists for a mass exodus of Jews through the desert. With this in mind the time it took is zero because it never happened.

Jewish answer:

According to Jewish tradition, the Plagues took place over the span of one year (Mishna, Eduyot ch.2). The actual leaving of Egypt took place in one day, since the Israelites had prepared beforehand.

The eveidence for the Exodus rests, for the time being, in the unbroken national chain of tradition of the Jewish people. See also the attached Related Link.
