969/12.36=78.4
What? So Nahor was dead by the age of 12 (147) yet had 8 kids!
He could have easily had eight wives.
There is on record today of a 5 y/o having a child.

In the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, on the seventeenth day of the second month—on that day all the springs of the great deep burst forth, and the floodgates of the heavens were opened.
If that means in the 48th year (600×12.36 lunar) what does "second month" mean?
Why is a year a month but the word month is used in the context of days?
I didn't write the damn thing.
Mayhaps it was just the custom in those days, differentiating age versus day to day times. It makes much more sense that Methuselah was 80 vs. 969.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
