According to Moses, Noah was really old, 500 years, when he became the dad of three sons named Shem, Ham, and Japheth. God chose Noah to do important things, so his age shows he was special and strong even when he was very old.

Genesis 5:32: And Noah was five hundred years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth.

Paradox #1

Genesis 5:32 mentions that Noah had three sons when he was 500 years old. The possible contradiction arises when considering the timeline of events in later chapters, specifically how old Noah was during other key events, including the flood and the ages of his sons when they had children. This can make it challenging to align all the events and ages consistently throughout the narrative.

Paradox #2

Numerical contradictions or inconsistencies in Genesis often arise when comparing ages and timelines provided for biblical figures. In the case of Genesis 5:32, some readers note potential contradictions when comparing Noah's age and timelines with those of other figures or events in Genesis. The challenge comes in reconciling specific ages or events with genealogies or timelines given elsewhere in the text. However, these discrepancies are often due to different interpretations or translations.
