Also in Genesis 7 Noah was 600 years old when he went into the ark. So he was in the ark a little over a year.

Markcus Burch's comment on 2020-09-26 05:09:59:

601 years of Noah's life, at that time in Genesis 8:13. If you go to the next chapter 9:29 all of the days of Noah were 950 years and he died.

Noah went in the ark when 600 years old. Stayed in ark about 1 year. 601 is Noah's age. Genesis 5:32, 7:6, 7:12, 7:17, 7:24, 8:3,4,5,6,10,13

Dinah, the 601 years in Gen 8:13 refers to Noah's age when the flood finally was absorbed into the Earth & Noah removed the Ark's covering to observe this.

If you follow the time line of Noah from chapter 5 verse 32, we see that Noah was 500 yrs old when his sons Shem, Ham & Japheth were born to him (probably over a period of a few years from 500). Then it took Noah & his crew almost 100 years to build the Ark (Gen 7:6, Noah was 600 yrs old when the flood started). It rained continuously & heavily for just over a month & the flood lasted for 5 months (7:24) at which time the waters depleted over the next 3 months. So after all this time, including sending out the raven & dove to test for dry land (another month of waiting before sending these birds out), another year had passed, which made Noah 601 yrs old (8:13).
