In the English it seems that Adam's total existence was 930 years. But when we look at the Hebrew the word that is translated "lived" is:Chaya it means:1) to live, have life, remain alive, sustain life etc... (In short imortal life)...When they were exiled they were given "Chay" which means a Mortal life, of plants, of animals, dependent on water.
