creation

Genesis 1:27 So God created man in His own

image; in the image of God He created him;

the evening and the morning were the sixth

day. Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of

the dust of the ground, and breathed into hisnostrils the breath of life; and man became a

living being.

Adam was created on the sixth day of

the creation week. Since this is

during the creation week, it is the

start of this time line

Shem's birth Genesis 11:10 This is the genealogy of Shem:

Shem was one hundred years old, and begotArphaxad two years after the flood.

2 years after the flood, Shem was 100

years old. Note: Genesis 5:32 which states "And

Noah was five hundred years old,

and Noah begot Shem, Ham, andJapheth." was not used because it is

unclear if all 3 sons were born in

the same year. Using Genesis

11:10, Noah was 502 when Shem

was born. See the notes for Noah's

death. The reference for the end of

the flood is not when the waters

dried up in Genesis 8:13, but some

time before that. As in Genesis

9:28-29, the reference will be when

Noah was 600 years old as the end

of the flood.

1559

Lamech's

death

Genesis 5:30 After he begot Noah, Lamech lived

five hundred and ninety-five years, and had

1656

Flood starts Genesis 7:11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the

seventeenth day of the month, on that day all

the fountains of the great deep were broken

up, and the windows of heaven were

opened.

600 years after Noah's birth, the floodstarts

1656

Flood ends

(waters were

dried up)

Genesis 8:13 And it came to pass in the six

hundred and first year, in the first month, the

first day of the month, that the waters were

dried up from the earth; and Noah removed

the covering of the ark and looked, and

indeed the surface of the ground was dry.

601 years after Noah's birth, the flood

ends. Josephus: In The Antiquities of the

Jews 8:3:1, the construction of the

temple began 1440 years after the

µDeluge¶. He also said in that same

paragraph that the temple was built

3102 years after the creation of

Adam. According to 1 Kings 6:38,

the temple took 7 years to complete.

The difference puts the year the

flood ended to be 1655. This gives

validity to the Masoretic text time

line. Each of the dates mentioned isrounded to the nearest year. The

difference between Josephus and

the date derived from the Masoretic

text is only 2 years. This is well

within the expected tolerance.

1657

Arphaxad's

birth

Genesis 11:10 This is the genealogy of Shem:

Shem was one hundred years old, and begotArphaxad two years after the flood.

2 years after the flood, or 100 years

after Shem's birth, Arphaxad was born.

Note: See the notes for Noah's death.

The reference for this date is not

when the waters dried up in Genesis

8:13, but some time before that. As

in Genesis 9:28-29, the reference

will be when Noah was 600 years

old as the end of the flood.

1658

Salah's birth Genesis 11:12 Arphaxad lived thirty-five years,

and begot Salah. 35 years after Arphaxad's birth, Salah

was born. 1693

Eber's birth Genesis 11:14 Salah lived thirty years, and begotEber. 30 years after Salah's birth, Eber was born. 1723 Peleg's birth Genesis 11:16 Eber lived thirty-four years, and

begot Peleg. 34 years after Eber's birth, Peleg was

born 1757

Reu's birth Genesis 11:18 Peleg lived thirty years, and begot

Reu. 30 years after Peleg's birth, Reu was

born 1787

Serug's birth Genesis 11:20 Reu lived thirty-two years, and

begot Serug. 32 years after Reu¶s birth, Serug was

born 1819

Nahor's birth Genesis 11:22 Serug lived thirty years, and

begot Nahor. 30 years after Serug¶s birth, Nahor was

born. 1849

Terah's birth Genesis 11:24 Nahor lived twenty-nine years,

and begot Terah. 29 years after Nahor¶s birth, Terah was

born 1878



Abraham's

birth

Genesis 11:26 Now Terah lived seventy years,and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran.

70 years after Terah¶s birth, Abram(later changed to Abraham) was

born. Note: Unlike the time of Shem's birth,

there is no other verses that point to

Abraham's birth being any later

than Terah's seventieth year.

1948

Nahor's

birth

Genesis 11:26 Now Terah lived seventy years,

and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran. 70 years after Terah¶s birth, Nahor was



Nahor's birth being any later than

Terah's seventieth year.

1948

Haran's birth Genesis 11:26 Now Terah lived seventy years,

and begot Abram, Nahor, and Haran. 70 years after Terah¶s birth, Haran was



Abraham's birth being any later

than Terah's seventieth year.

1948

Sarah's birth Genesis 17:17 Then Abraham fell on his face

and laughed, and said in his heart, "Shall a

child be born to a man who is one hundred

years old? And shall Sarah, who is ninety

years old, bear a child ?"

When Abraham was 100 years old,

Sarah was 90 years old. Therefore,

10 years after Abraham¶s birth,

Sarah was born.

1958

Peleg's death Genesis 11:19 After he begot Reu, Peleg lived

two hundred and nine years, and begot sons

and daughters.

209 years after Reu¶s birth, Peleg died 1996

Nahor's death Genesis 11:25 After he begot Terah, Nahor lived

one hundred and nineteen years, and begot

sons and daughters.

119 years after Terah¶s birth, Nahor was

born 1997

Noah's death Genesis 9:28 And Noah lived after the flood

three hundred and fifty years. Genesis 9:29 So all the days of Noah were nine

hundred and fifty years; and he died.

350 years after the flood, or 950 years

after Noah¶s birth, Noah died. Note: Subtracting 950 from 350 yields

Noah¶s age at the flood to be 600.Genesis 8:13 says Noah was 601.

Therefore when Genesis 9:28 says

that Noah lived 350 years after the

flood, the reference is not when the

waters died. The reference is most

likely be when the rain stopped.

2005



Abrahamdeparts from

Haran to

Canaan

Genesis 12:4-5 So Abram departed as the LORDhad spoken to him, and Lot went with him.

And Abram was seventy-five years old

when he departed from Haran. Then Abram

took Sarai his wife and Lot his brother¶s

son, and all their possessions that they had

gathered, and the people whom they had

acquired in Haran, and they departed to go

to the land of Canaan. So they came to the

land of Canaan. Genesis 16:3 Then Sarai, Abram¶s wife, took

Hagar her maid, the Egyptian, and gave her

to her husband Abram to be his wife, after

Abram had dwelt ten years in the land of

Canaan.

75 years after Abraham¶s birth, Abram(later changed to Abraham)

departed from Haran. Also,

Abraham had been in Canaan 10

years when Ishmael was conceived.

Since 9 months later, Ishmael was

born, the time Abraham was in

Canaan at Ismael¶s birth was 11

years.

Note: An assumption is made in the

Genesis 16 passage that Ishael was

conceived less than a year after

Abraham took Hagar. Since the

times established from Genesis 12

agree with this asumption, it is

taken as correct.

2023

Reu's death Genesis 11:21 After he begot Serug, Reu lived

two hundred and seven years, and begot

sons and daughters.

207 years after Serug's birth, Reu died. 2026

Ishmael's

birth

Genesis 16:16 Abram was eighty-six years old

when Hagar bore Ishmael to Abram. Genesis 17:23-25 So Abraham took Ishmael his

son, all who were born in his house and all

who were bought with his money, every

male among the men of Abraham's house,

and circumcised the flesh of their foreskins

that very same day, as God had said to

him. Abraham was ninety-nine years old

when he was circumcised in the flesh of his

foreskin. And Ishmael his son was thirteen

years old when he was circumcised in the

flesh of his foreskin.

Abraham was 86 when Ishmael was

born. Also, Ishmael was 13 yearsold when Abraham was 99 years

old. Therefore, 86 years after

Abraham's birth, Ishmael was born.

2034

God's

promise to

Abraham

Genesis 17:17 Then Abraham fell on his face




years old, bear a child ?"

90 years after Sarah's birth, or 100 years

after Abraham's birth, God gave

Abraham the promise.

2048

Isaac's birth Genesis 17:17,19 Then Abraham fell on his face




years old, bear a child ?" Then God said:

"No, Sarah your wife shall bear you a son,

and you shall call his name Isaac; I will

establish My covenant with him for aneverlasting covenant, and with his

descendants after him.

90 years after Sarah's birth, or 100 years

after Abraham's birth, Isaac was

born.

2048

Serug's death Genesis 11:23 After he begot Nahor, Serug lived

two hundred years, and begot sons anddaughters.

200 years after Nahor's birth, Serug

died 2049

hundred and five years, and Terah died in

Haran.

205 years after Terah's birth, Terah died 2083

twenty-seven years; these were the years of

the life of Sarah.

Esau'sbirth

Genesis 25:25-26 And the first came out red. H e

was like a hairy garment all over; so theycalled his name Esau. Afterward his brother

came out, and his hand took hold of Esau's

heel; so his name was called Jacob. Isaac

was sixty years old when she bore them.

60 years after Isaac's birth, Esau was

born 2108

Jacob's birth Genesis 25:26 Afterward his brother came out,

and his hand took hold of Esau's heel; so his

name was called Jacob. Isaac was sixty

years old when she bore them.

60 years after Isaac's birth, Jacob was

born 2108

Abraham'sdeath

Genesis 25:7 This is the sum of the years of Abraham's life which he lived: one hundred

and seventy-five years.

175 years after Abraham's birth,Abraham died.

2123

137 years after Ishmael¶s birth, Ishmael

died. 2171

Eber's death Genesis 11:17 After he begot Peleg, Eber lived

four hundred and thirty years, and begot

sons and daughters.

430 years after Peleg's birth, Eber died. 2187

Joseph's birth

Genesis 41:46 Joseph was thirty years old when

he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. AndJoseph went out from the presence of

Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of

Egypt.

30 years before Joseph begins service

for Pharaoh, Joseph was born 2199

Isaac's death Genesis 35:28-29 Now the days of Isaac were

one hundred and eighty years. So Isaac breathed his last and died, and was gathered

to his people, being old and full of days.

And his sons Esau and Jacob buried him.

180 years after Isaac's birth, Isaac died. 2228



Joseph startsservice for

Pharaoh

Genesis 41:28-34 "This is the thing which I havespoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh

what He is about to do. "Indeed seven years

of great plenty will come throughout all the

land of Egypt; "but after them seven years of

famine will arise, and all the plenty will be

forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the

famine will deplete the land. "So the plenty

will not be known in the land because of the

famine following, for it will be very severe.

"And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh

twice because the thing is established by

God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

"Now therefore, let Pharaoh select a

discerning and wise man, and set him over

the land of Egypt. "Let Pharaoh do this, andlet him appoint officers over the land, to

collect one-fifth of the produce of the land

of Egypt in the seven plentiful years. Genesis 41:39-40 Then Pharaoh said to Joseph,

"Inasmuch as God has shown you all this,

there is no one as discerning and wise as

you. "You shall be over my house, and all

my people shall be ruled according to your

word; only in regard to the throne will I be

greater than you."

Pharaoh made Joseph in charge of Egypt because of the interpretation

he had of Pharaoh's dream. It is

assumed that the years of plenty

started the year Joseph started

service for Pharaoh. If the

abundance didn't start as soon as

Joseph started work, Pharaoh would

have thought the interpretation was

incorrect. Also, Pharaoh put Joseph

in charge to plan during the years of

plenty, for the years of famine.

2229

Years of

plenty begin

in Egypt

Genesis 41:53-54 Then the seven years of plenty

which were in the land of Egypt ended, and

the seven years of famine began to come, as

Joseph had said. The famine was in alllands, but in all the land of Egypt there was

bread.

7 years before the years of plenty end in

Egypt ended, the years of plenty in

Egypt began

2229

Years of

plenty end inEgypt


which were in the land of Egypt ended, andthe seven years of famine began to come, as

Joseph had said. The famine was in all lands

The years of plenty in Egypt ended and

the time the famine began in Egypt. 2236

Famine

begins in

Egypt


which were in the land of Egypt ended, and

the seven years of famine began to come, as

Joseph had said. The famine was in alllands, but in all the land of Egypt there was

bread.

7 years before the famine in Egypt

ended, the famine in Egypt began 2236



God makespromise to

Jacob

Exodus 43:3-7 So He said, "I am God, the Godof your father; do not fear to go down to

Egypt, for I will make of you a great nation

there. "I will go down with you to Egypt,

and I will also surely bring you up again;

and Joseph will put his hand on your eyes."

Then Jacob arose from Beersheba; and the

sons of Israel carried their father Jacob, their

little ones, and their wives, in the carts

which Pharaoh had sent to carry him. So

they took their livestock and their goods,

which they had acquired in the land of

Canaan, and went to Egypt, Jacob and all his

descendants with him. His sons and his sons'

sons, his daughters and his sons' daughters,

and all his descendants he brought with himto Egypt.

Promise given to Jacob the same year Jacob moves to Egypt.

2238

Jacob moves

to Egypt

Genesis 47:28 And Jacob lived in the land of

Egypt seventeen years. So the length of

Jacob's life was one hundred and forty-seven

years.

17 years before Jacob's death, Jacob

moves to Egypt. 2238

Famine endsin Egypt

Genesis 45:10-11 "You shall dwell in the landof Goshen, and you shall be near to me, you

and your children, your children's children,

your flocks and your herds, and all that you

have. "There I will provide for you, lest you

and your household, and all that you have,

come to poverty; for there are still five years

of famine."'

5 years after Jacob moves to Egypt, thefamine in Egypt ends.

2243

Jacob's death Genesis 47:28 And Jacob lived in the land of

Egypt seventeen years. So the length of Jacob's life was one hundred and forty-seven

years.

147 years after Jacob's birth, Jacob died. 2255

Iraelitesµ

affliction inEgypt Begins

Genesis 15:13 Then He said to Abram: "Know

certainly that your descendants will be

strangers in a land that is not theirs, and willserve them, and they will afflict them four

hundred years.

400 years before the Israelites leave

Egypt, their servitude began Note: Genesis 50:26 seems to be clear

that the 400 years is that of

affliction. The beginning of

Joseph¶s ruling in Egypt was under

favorable conditions and the

Israelites were invited to come.However, it appears that 30 years

after their invitation, the affliction

started. An assumption may be

made that the start of the affliction

is slavery. This would be 41 years

before Joseph died. Some time

between Joseph being a savior of

Egypt during the famine and his

death, Egypt turned on him

2309

Joseph's

death

Genesis 50:26 So Joseph died, being one

hundred and ten years old; and they

embalmed him, and he was put in a coffin in

Egypt.

110 years after Joseph's birth, Joseph

died. 2309

Aaron's birth Numbers 33:39 Aaron was one hundred and

twenty-three years old when he died onMount Hor.

123 years before Aaron's death, Aaron

was born. 2585



Moses's birth Deuteronomy 34:7 Moses was one hundred andtwenty years old when he died. His eyes

were not dim nor his natural vigor

diminished.

120 years before Moses died, Moseswas born

2588

Israelites

leave Egypt

Exodus 12:40,41 Now the sojourn of the

children of Israel who lived in Egypt was

four hundred and thirty years. And it came

to pass at the end of the four hundred and

thirty years--on that very same day--it cameto pass that all the armies of the LORD wentout from the land of Egypt.

430 years after Jacob moves to Egypt,

the Israelites leave Egypt 2668

Law given to

Moses

Exodus 19:1-3 In the third month after the

children of Israel had gone out of the land of

Egypt, on the same day, they came to the

Wilderness of Sinai. For they had departed

from Rephidim, had come to the Wilderness

of Sinai, and camped in the wilderness. So

Israel camped there before the mountain.

And Moses went up to God, and the LORD

called to him from the mountain, saying,

"Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob,

and tell the children of Israel: Galatians 3:16-17 Now to Abraham and his Seed

were the promises made. He does not say,

"And to seeds," as of many, but as of one,

"And to your Seed," who is Christ. And this

I say, that the law, which was four hundred

and thirty years later, cannot annul the

covenant that was confirmed before by God

in Christ, that it should make the promise of

no effect.

Moses gets the law the same year that

Israelites leave Egypt Or, 430 years after God makes promise

to Jacob (Abraham's seed), the law

was given

2668

Rules

regarding

Passover

Celebration

given

Numbers 9:1-3 Now the LORD spoke to Moses

in the Wilderness of Sinai, in the first monthof the second year after they had come out

of the land of Egypt, saying: "Let the

children of Israel keep the Passover at its

appointed time. "On the fourteenth day of

this month, at twilight, you shall keep it at

its appointed time. According to all its rites

and ceremonies you shall keep it."

2 years after Israelites leave Egypt,

rules regarding Passover Celebration are given.

2670

Israel's first

census

Numbers 1:1-3 Now the LORD spoke to Moses

in the Wilderness of Sinai, in the tabernacle

of meeting, on the first day of the second

month, in the second year after they had

come out of the land of Egypt, saying: "Take

a census of all the congregation of the

children of Israel, by their families, by their fathers' houses, according to the number of

names, every male individually, from twenty

years old and above--all who are able to go

to war in Israel. You and Aaron shall

number them by their armies.

2 years after the Israelites left Egypt,

God commands the Moses to take a

census. It is assumed that the census

takes place the same year that the

command was given

2670



Isrealitesleave

wilderness of

Sinai and

head toward

wilderness of

Puran

Numbers 10:11-12 Now it came to pass on thetwentieth day of the second month, in the

second year, that the cloud was taken up

from above the tabernacle of the Testimony.

And the children of Israel set out from the

Wilderness of Sinai on their journeys; then

the cloud settled down in the Wilderness of

Paran.

2 years after the Israelites leave thewilderness of Sinai and head toward

the wilderness of Puran.

2670

Aaron's death Numbers 33:38 Then Aaron the priest went up

to Mount Hor at the command of the LORD,and died there in the fortieth year after the

children of Israel had come out of the land

of Egypt, on the first day of the fifth month.

40 years after the Israelites left Egypt,

Aaron died 2708

Moses's death Deuteronomy 1:3 Now it came to pass in thefortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the

first day of the month, that Moses spoke to

the children of Israel according to all that the

LORD had given him as commandments to

them, Deuteronomy 8:2 Now it came to pass in the

fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the

first day of the month, that Moses spoke to

the children of Israel according to all that theLORD had given him as commandments to

them, Deuteronomy 34:4 Then the LORD said to him,

"This is the land of which I swore to give

Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, saying, `I will

give it to your descendants.' I have causedyou to see it with your eyes, but you shall

not cross over there." Joshua 1:1-2 After the death of Moses the

servant of the LORD, it came to pass that

the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun,

Moses' assistant, saying: "Moses My servant

is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this

Jordan, you and all this people, to the land

which I am giving to them--the children of

Israel. Numbers 20:12 Then the LORD spoke to

Moses and Aaron, "Because you did not

believe Me, to hallow Me in the eyes of the

children of Israel, therefore you shall not

bring this assembly into the land which Ihave given them."

Moses was not permitted to go into the promise land (Deuteronomy 34:4

and Numbers 20:12). Moses was

alive in the fortieth year of the

Israelites time in the wilderness

(Deuteronomy 1:3 and 8:2). Moses

died before the Israelites entered the

promise land (Joshua 1:1-2). The

Israelites entered the promise land

40 years after they left Egypt.Therefore, Moses died the same

year that the Israelites entered the

promise land.

God makesJoshua leader

of Israel

Joshua 1:1-3 After the death of Moses theservant of the LORD, it came to pass that

the LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun,

Moses' assistant, saying, "Moses My

servant is dead. Now therefore, arise, go

over this Jordan, you and all this people, to

the land which I am giving to them--the

children of Israel. "Every place that the sole

of your foot will tread upon I have given

you, as I said to Moses.

Joshua becomes leader of Israel after Moses' death and before the

Israelites enter the promise land.

Since both events happened in the

same year, it is also the year that

Joshua becomes leader of Israel.

Israelites

enter the

promise land

Numbers 14:33-34 `And your sons shall be

shepherds in the wilderness forty years, and

bear the brunt of your infidelity, until your

carcasses are consumed in the

wilderness. According to the number of the

days in which you spied out the land, forty

days, for each day you shall bear your guilt

one year, namely forty years, and you shall

know My rejection. Numbers 32:13 "So the LORD'S anger was

aroused against Israel, and He made them

wander in the wilderness forty years, until

all the generation that had done evil in the

sight of the LORD was gone. Joshua 5:6 For the children of Israel walked

forty years in the wilderness, till all the

people who were men of war, who came out

of Egypt, were consumed, because they did

not obey the voice of the LORD--to whom

the LORD swore that He would not show

them the land which the LORD had sworn to

their fathers that He would give us, "a land

flowing with milk and honey." Joshua 1:1-3 After the death of Moses the

servant of the LORD, it came to pass thatthe LORD spoke to Joshua the son of Nun,

Moses' assistant, saying: "Moses My servant

is dead. Now therefore, arise, go over this

Jordan, you and all this people, to the land

which I am giving to them--the children of

Israel. Every place that the sole of your foot

will tread upon I have given you, as I said toMoses.

40 years after the Israelites leave Egypt,

the Israelites enter the promise land. Note: It is assumed that the time in the

wilderness began when the

Israelites left Egypt and ended

when the Israelites entered the

promise land.

1 Kings 6:1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the childrenof Israel had come out of the land of Egypt,

in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over

Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the

Constructionof the temple

starts

1 Kings 6:1 And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children

of Israel had come out of the land of Egypt,

in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over

Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the

second month, that he began to build the

house of the LORD.

480 years after the Israelites leaveEgypt, Solomon begins construction

of the temple.

Construction

of the temple

ends

1 Kings 6:38 And in the eleventh year, in the

month of Bul, which is the eighth month, the

house was finished in all its details and

according to all its plans. So he was seven

years in building it.

7 years after construction began, or 11

years after Solomon became king,

the construction was complete. Josephus: According to Josephus, in

The Antiquities of the Jews 8:3:1,

the temple was built 3102 years

after the creation of Adam. Each of

the dates mentioned is rounded to

the nearest year. The difference

between Josephus and the datesderived from the Masoretic text is

only 53 years. This is well within

the expected tolerance. Josephus

should never be used as proof for

the bible; the bible should be used

however to prove or disprove

Josephus.
