I don't believe there's a place where The Bible says man will live to be 120 years, but Moses DID live that long. Here are some details:

According to the Bible at ('Genesis 2:15-17), mankind was SUPPOSED to live forever on earth, but because of Adam's disobedience (Genesis 3:6), death became part of human existence, coming quicker and quicker as we got further from the original perfection (Romans 5:12).

*Ten generations from Adam to Noah, people still averaged more than 850 years each. (Genesis 5:5-31; 9:29)

*After Noah, man's life span dropped off sharply.

*Abraham, for example, lived only 175 years. (Genesis 25:7)

*From the time of Moses to our day, what Moses wrote is generally true: "In themselves the days of our years are seventy years; and if because of special mightiness they are eighty years, yet their insistence is on trouble and hurtful things; for it must quickly pass by....." (Psalms 90:10)

Moses stated this as the general rule, but some lived longer...even Moses himself, lived 120 years, Aaron (123 years), Joshua (110 years), and some others whose strength and vitality were unusual.-Deuteronomy 34:7; Numbers 33:39; Joshua 24:29.

Did the bible get mistranslated as it says seth was 800 years old when he had a child did they mean 800 months which would make him 66 years old and which is more plausible?

No the bible did not get mistranslated , It says Seth Noahs son was 800 years old when he had a child. We must remember that till the time of Noah and his sons life span was always 800 or 900 years old. It was afdter the flood and God destroyed the earth , then mans life span fell to 70 years. As psalms 90 says mans life shall be three score and a half.

How do you know that God cared about the Israelite slaves in Egypt?

A:The Bible says that Moses was born after the Israelites became slaves and then lived to 120 years old, but did not begin the Exodus until just 40 years before his death. So, God must have willingly allowed the Israelites to suffer as slaves for more than 80 years and probably much longer. Nevertheless, the Bible also says that God cared about the Israelite slaves. On the other hand, more than ninety per cent of scholars are said to believe that there never was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. The Israelite nation was never enslaved and therefore God had no need to care about the Israelites.
