Is this a contradiction or am I reading it wrong? Genesis 5:28

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Bingo lolly. There’s a reason why there are three billy goats Gruff, seven dwarfs, twelve Labours of Hercules, etc. 

Numbers is magic, they is.

Boru

12 h in a day and 12 h at night.
If the numbers 3, 7, 40 are also magical, why didn’t they choose to have 3 h for day and 3 h at night? Why did they go with 12? I have no idea.

Look at analog clocks. What do you notice? I notice that all of them follow a pattern. The number 12 is at the top. The Sun is suppose to reach its highest point in the sky at 12 PM.
Is that why 12 is at the top of analog clocks?

Why do the clock hands spin in that direction? Does it have a significance?
If we place an analog clock on the ground, face up, is the hour hand suppose to follow the movement of the Sun?
Does it have a religious significance?
Did ancient people dance around a fire clockwise?
Did the priests walk around the altar of sacrifice clockwise?

Why 60 min in an hour? Why 60 sec in 1 min?

You can look these things up, you know. But I'll give you a hint: The answer to (most of) your questions has to do with astronomy and Babylonian arithmetic.
