Verses 28, 29. - And Noah lived after the flood three hundred and fifty years. I.e. to the fifty-eighth year of the life of Abram, and was thus in all probability a witness of the building of the tower of Babel, and of the consequent dispersion of mankind. And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died. Tuch, Bleek, and Colenso connect these verses with ver. 17, as the proper continuation of the Elohist's work.

Genesis 9:28 tells us that, in the brand-new world after judgment, God kept His servant alive three and a half centuries. The verse anchors the covenant context (“after the flood”), highlights God’s sustaining grace (“Noah lived”), and affirms the historical precision of the Bible (“350 years”). Together these details assure us that the same God who judges sin also preserves His people and meticulously guides the flow of history.
