Add Noah's age at time of the flood - 600. Flood began
on 2/17 and the ark rested on 7/17 the same year. 150 days
according to Ge 7:24, therefore 30 days/ month. Mountains visible
10/1. Dove sent 11/11, 11/18, 11/25. 1/1 of 1657 the earth was
dry. 2/27/57 they left the ark.
|
1656
|
2390
|
To connect the chronology of patriarchs before the flood (Ge 5:32)
with those after the flood (Ge 11) we need the following. In Ge 7:6
we learn that Noah was 600 years old when the flood came. In Ge 11:10
Shem was 100 years old two years after the flood, the year Arphaxad
was born. Therefore, Noah was 502 years old at the birth of Shem. The
connection is made perfectly. See verses.

Joseph was 30 when he stood before Pharaoh (Ge 41:46). After 7 yrs
of plenty and 2 years famine, Jacob was 130 and Joseph 39 (Ge 47:9).
Therefore Jacob was 91 at birth of Joseph. Jacob had served 14 years
(Ge 30:25) when Joseph was born so he was 77 when he came to Haran.

Jepthah told the King of Ammon that Israel occupied Heshbon 300
years (Jg 11:26). By deducting the consitiuent periods from 300 we
arrive at the 14 years of occupying the land. They are 1 year in the
wilderness, 6 years to the division of the land, servitude under
Cushan 8 years, rest by Othniel 40 years (Jg 3:11), servitude under
Eglon 18 yrs., (3:14), rest by Ehud 80 years (3:30), servitude under
Jabin 20 yrs (4:3) rest by Barak 40 yrs. (5:31), servitude under
Midian 7 yrs (6:11), rest by Gideon 40 years (8:28), usurpation of
Abimelech 3 yrs (9:22), judgeship of Tola 23 yrs( 10:2). These total
286 years. Deducting from 300 gives 14 yrs as the interval between
the dividing of the land by Joshua and the servitude under
Cushan-rithathaim. See verses. Note the seven cycles under "breaks"
|
The 450 years (Ac 13:20) of Judges (2573 to 3023).

Apparently Jehosaphat named a son after Ahab’s first born,
