If you have a Logos subscription, try running a Smart Search on your query
Then why does it say Moses lived over 900 yrs
Where did you get the 900 years? Graham’s search and the Bible say it’s 120 years.

Google it! You’ll get a quicker detailed explanation.
There are some solid scientific explanations for the phenomenon, but they would be out of place here.
The theological reasons are well-stated in scripture…most of which you can pick up in the first third of Genesis.
I expect other types of explanations would fall under Dt. 29:29, but again, that's not something that belongs in the forums, per se.
Craig Olson has a novel and very convincing approach on the issue.

In Logos, you'll find a summary of his views in The Harvest Handbook of Bible Lands: A Panoramic Survey of the History, Geography, and Culture of the Scriptures | Logos Bible Software
@Jan Krohn The Harvest Handbook you reference looks very interesting. Can you provide a brief review of it based on your experience? Thanks!
Sure. Disclaimer: the author is my professor.
The book is filled with maps, images of artifacts, breakout articles etc. and gives a general overview of Bible history from an archaeological point of view. Dr. Collins's approsch is using historical synchronisms and cultural specifications to build up the framework of history, meaning, identifying certain elements of culture in scripture of which we know from archaeology when and where they existed, as well as events that happened in surrounding cultures (Egypt, Assyria, Hatti etc.) and aligns them with Biblical events to come up with a consistent timeline.
Trigger warning: this approach causes severe deviation from the Ussherian timeline according to which the creation happened in 4000 BC. However, he demonstrates that Biblical history aligns perfectly with the history of the ANE once you throw Ussher out, therefore provides answers to secular historians and critical scholars who usually claim that the Bible contradicts ANE history in so many places.
I am trying to get a "Send hyperlinks here", on a bible, to be saved as part of a layout. Am I correct that is not able to be saved? Or is it because I am trying to update a layout set up by the software (I think - "Lectionary")? I end up adding it almost every day lol before I read today's scriptures…
The sale price is different from the individual sale price. The value if sold separately is $109.14. The sale price is $132.99. What's up with that?
I am 95 years of age. I have used the Logos library right from its beginning - approximately 30 years. When I die (Phil. 1:21) can anyone else make use of these books or must they be totally deleted from my computer system? Bob Burton.
