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.

How are Noah and Abraham related?

Noah and Abraham are not directly related by blood. Noah is traditionally seen as a distant ancestor of Abraham, both being significant figures in the Bible. Noah preceded Abraham in time and is considered the patriarch who survived the Great Flood, while Abraham is known as the patriarch of the Jewish, Christian, and Islamic faiths.


Did Abraham live before or after the flood?

After. The story of Noah and the Flood in Genesis comes before the story of Abraham and the descent into Egypt. According to tradition, Abraham was born 292 years after the Flood.


How many generations between Noah and Abraham?

In the Old Testament, there are ten generations between Noah and Abraham. However, according to the detailed genealogies in the Book of Genesis, Noah must have still been alive until Abraham was a relatively old man.The author of Genesis claimed to know that Noah lived another 350 years after the Flood, therefore living until Abraham was some 60 years old, yet he played no further part in the biblical story. Abraham was not even aware that he had a living ancestor who could have provided personal testimony for his God.In the New Testament, Luke's Gospel has eleven generations between Noah and Abraham, inserting Kainan, son of Arphaxad, for theological reasons.


What tribe from Noah's sons did Abraham come from?

If we follow the genealogical line far enough, the son of Noah was Jesus Christ. Noah's three recorded sons in the first instance were Shem, Ham and Japheth. From these three the three main 'people groups' on the planet are descended post flood. This is recorded in Genesis 10.


Did Noah know Abraham?

Noah was alive until Abraham was 58 years old, therefore one could easily discern that Noah and Abraham could have been acquainted. According to Jewish tradition, Abraham lived with Noach and his son Shem for 39 years. Gen 9:28 And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. 350 Gen 11:10 Shem was an hundred years old, and begat Arphaxad two years after the flood: -2 Gen 11:12 And Arphaxad lived five and thirty years, and begat Salah: -35 Gen 11:14 And Salah lived thirty years, and begat Eber: -30 Gen 11:16 And Eber lived four and thirty years, and begat Peleg: -34 Gen 11:18 And Peleg lived thirty years, and begat Reu: -30 Gen 11:20 And Reu lived two and thirty years, and begat Serug: -32 Gen 11:22 And Serug lived thirty years, and begat Nahor: -30 Gen 11:24 And Nahor lived nine and twenty years, and begat Terah: -29 Gen 11:26 And Terah lived seventy years, and begat Abram, Nahor, and Haran. -70 Abraham was 58 years old when Noah died therefore Abraham was able to receive the preflood history from Noah. 58
