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!

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.
Hey guys, I use the media slides all the time in sermon builder. However, while preparing a sermon on Revelation, I found not just one slide, but a series of slides on Revelation. I tried to update my media with it and all that happened is that my original slide went blank in sermon builder. How do I import multiple slides…
I'm doing a Bible Word Study on a Hebrew lemma and using the ring chart that shows its Greek renderings in the Septuagint. The chart is helpful, but when there are many different translations, the segments become too small to read. Is there a way to view this data as a list instead, so I can see all the Greek equivalents…
In previous versions to go for example from one version of the Bible to another one, you could quickly get there by clicking the parallel bar adjacent to the entry field, now this icon is not visible for me where can I find it.

Dear Folk, When I go to the Biblical or Systematic Theologies sections of the Passage guide, I can not find SDA theological resources. Are there any SDA theological resources? If so, what are they, and will they then show up in the guide sections under SDA? If I tag a resource as theology-systematic, and I set the passage…
