Noah lived a total of 950 years; then he died.
JPS Tanakh 1917
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years; and he died.
New American Standard 1977
So all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
Jubilee Bible 2000
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years, and he died.
King James 2000 Bible
And all the days of Noah were nine hundred and fifty years: and he died.
American King James Version
And all the days of Noah were nice hundred and fifty years: and he died.
If this doesn't mean 950 years as we know it today then tell me how many years Noah lived. Simply saying we're all stupid for thinking an OT year is a year but not telling us what is doesn't count as an answer.
So what's it to be? Your 'moon' theory? An OT year was a month?
Again, NO one knows how a years was divided then.

All your quotes are meaningless as they all pertain to a shaneh. which again is translated into the word year in english, but is not defined by a specific measure of time. Post exodus that time period was locked into a 360 day calendar, but it does not mean 2000 years prior Noah used that same calendar to count off his years.
