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.
Received my copy of the expanded edition hardcover version today and noticed that one of the introductory pages states it's possible to add a digital copy of this book to Logos. Unfortunately, the link provided (https://logos.com/LexhamPress) takes you to a Baker Books page with no obvious way to obtain the digital copy of…
Hi all Is there an easy way to add multiple anchors to a note at once. As far as I can see I can't paste in a list of verses in the usual format (eg Acts 9:1; 1 Peter 3:2...) or link to a passage list. Has anyone got any tips about how I can add multiple anchors at the same time? Thanks Paul
The Video last month when pre-orders were being taken for the hardcover of Unseen Realm Expanded Edition, announced to us that the digital version was going to be released on October 1. I've not seen or heard anything from Logos about this.
I am thinking of switching to Chromebook OS as opposed to Windows 11. Am looking at the Acer Chromebook Plus 514. It has intel 8-Core i3-N305, 8 GB Ram, 640 GB Storage, 2 TB loud storage. Can i run my Logos software on this Chromebook? if not is there a Chromebook that you would suggest? Thanks Mark
Hi, I'm wondering if it's possible to create a Passage List from a list of scriptures tied to a Notebook collection. I've created several notebooks with a lot of scriptures in each. I'd like to ALSO have those scriptures in Passage Lists. Is that easy to do in one fell swoop? Thanking you in advance!
