And Noah was, &c. Noah is thus represented as much older, when he begets his children, than were the other patriarchs, when children were born to them. A hundred years is the interval of time between the birth of Noah's sons and the Deluge (Genesis 7:6).
Compare the mention of three sons born to Lamech, the last name in the Cainite genealogy (Genesis 4:20-24).
