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
