Hi,
Another explanation for the long lives of the biblical males from Adam to Abraham:
"The reason for their long
lives was that Adam the First, creation of Gd, was formed with the greatest
perfection in beauty, strength and size. Even after it was decreed that he
would be mortal, his nature was to live a long time. When the Flood came over
the land, the atmosphere was ruined for them and their lifespans shrank. Until
then their lives were that long, some of them living even longer than Adam
lived…"
(Ramban to Bereishit 5:4)
המצפה לישועה,
Mordechai
