Genesis 9:28 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years Which period, as the Jews observe, reaches to the fifty-eighth year of Abraham's age. So that we need be under no difficulty in accounting for the transmission of the original revelation made to Adam, and of other branches of divine truth, from the beginning of the world to the time of Abraham. Noah received these from his parents, who had the account from Adam's own mouth, and transmitted it to Abraham. And its communication and descent from him to the Jews, and from the Jews to us, is sufficiently known. Within this time also Noah saw the building of the tower of Babel, the horrid wickedness and idolatry of his children, and the bloody wars which even then began to arise between some of them.
