Genesis 6:3

Then the Lord (Yahweh) said, "My Spirit [my life-giving spirit, see Gen. 2:7] will not remain in [be responsible for] humans forever. They are flesh, and their time will be 120 years."
[The lifespan of humans is 120 years
In the 19th century, scientists began to discover and describe cell division in plants and animals. For a long time, it was believed that cells could divide indefinitely, but in the 1960s, American microbiologist Leonard Hayflick discovered that human cells stopped dividing after 40-60 divisions. This limit came to be known as Hayflick's limit. Scientific calculations thus give a biological maximum lifespan for humans of exactly 120 years, plus or minus a few years! The oldest person mentioned in the Bible is Methuselah, who lived to be 969 years old (Gen. 5:27). After the flood, age gradually decreased over time to a maximum of 120 years. Moses lived to be exactly 120 years old (Deut. 31:2) and his successor Joshua lived to be 110 years old (Josh. 24:29), see also Isa. 38:5 where 15 years are added to Hezekiah's life.]
