Thus the days that Adam lived were nine hundred and
thirty years; and he died. - Genesis 5:5
This was passed down by word of mouth for don't know how many
centuries and then written down in Hebrew, and then translated into
English.
What does it originally mean?
Adam did not live on earth for the duration of 930
circumnavigation round the sun.
He live to a ripe old age, number unknown, he was mature
and extremely well renowed and respected in the community he lived
in. The 930 years is the gauge of his maturity and wisdom, respect
and renown he received from the community he lived in.
Lee Kuan Yew would also in the same context be said to have
lived nine hundred years.
Don't read the bible literary. Think about what it is
trying to say.
your logic is the same as the buddhism. i read about buddha
pointed to a cup of water and told his disciples that there were
840,000 (i think is this number) of micro organisms in it. it said
it was not exactly this number but to denote many or countless. so
i agree with your logic that 930 years is to denote adam lived to
ripe old age.
