What you need to know,is that those ages,in the OT,were not based on the same numerical system we use.It was a Middle Eastern literary device of the time.Everyone wrote that way about heroes/heroines;not just the Hebrews.

Would you reference the source of this information as I would be interested.

It is my understanding that the various peoples had their own calendars.

The Egyptians, Babylonians,Hebrews,; Chaldeans , Medes, Persians, Greeks Romans all had their calenders which varied to some degree.

The Hebrews was based on a thirty day month and a 360 day year at the time mentioned.

It under went a change or adjustment around 1400-1300 BC as did most others around this time for reasons unknown but they all seem to acknowledge an increased number of days in a cycle.
