The being known as Yahweh, who became the deified god of the Israelites, lived a long time, a very long time.
 
The Hebrew Bible (Old Testament) provides long lives for some Israelite patriarchs:
 
Oldest People in the Bible · 10. Enoch – 365 · 9. Lamech – 777 · 8. Mahalalel – 895 · 7. Enos – 905 · 6. Kenan – 910 · 5. Seth – 912 Years Old · 4. Adam – 930 Years …[Internet]
 
The Hebrew Bible and Old Testament account of Daniel referred to Yahweh as “the Ancient of Days.” But that’s it. The reference by Daniel meaning Yahweh was from the beginning and continues forever, not a reference to the age of the being,

I’ll be providing that material next time….
