The Death of Adam-The Birth of Seth

Beraishit 5.4- בראשית


4.’ And the days of Adam after he begot Seth were eight hundred years; and he begot sons and daughters- וַיִּהְיוּ יְמֵי אָדָם אַחֲרֵי הוֹלִידוֹ אֶת שֵׁת שְׁמֹנֶה מֵאֹת שָׁנָה וַיּוֹלֶד בָּנִים וּבָנוֹת  (4456 = 19 = 10 =1).

The verse can be divided so:
·         And the days of Adam after he begot Seth were eight hundred years- וַיִּהְיוּ יְמֵי אָדָם אַחֲרֵי הוֹלִידוֹ אֶת שֵׁת שְׁמֹנֶה מֵאֹת שָׁנָה (3274+10 words=3284=17=8 counting final Mem as 600);
·         And he begot sons and daughters- וַיּוֹלֶד בָּנִים וּבָנוֹת (622=10=1).
Eight Hundred
שְׁמֹנֶה מֵאֹת
836=17=8 or + 2 words=19=10=1

Shet son of Adam
שֵׁת בן אָדָם
797+3 words
800=8

Thus when Seth son of Adam (800) was born

Adam had 800 years to live
