Defender: Gen 11:13 - four hundred and three years

It is obvious, by comparison of the genealogies and chronologies in Genesis 5 and 11, that the longevity of mankind began a steady decline after the Flood. Undoubtedly the vast climatological and physiographical changes caused by the Flood were the main natural causes of this. The protective vapor canopy was gone (see Gen 1:6, note; Gen 7:4, note), the rich soils were gone, mutations were increasing in the inbreeding populations, and the general environment was much more rigorous. No doubt it was also providentially ordered that, in the post-Flood world, life-spans should settle at around seventy years of age (Psa 90:10)."

Gill: Gen 11:13 - And Arphaxad lived, after he begat Salah, four hundred and three years // and begat sons and daughters

And Arphaxad lived, after he begat Salah, four hundred and three years,.... In all four hundred and thirty eight; the Vulgate Latin wrongly reads, three hundred and three:

and begat sons and daughters; not mentioned by name: he died, as the above Arabic writer ^z says, in the month Nisan, A. M. 2696; and a Jewish writer ^a says he died in the forty eighth year of Isaac, and who also says ^b, that in his days they began to build the city of Babel.
