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, and
Japheth." 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.
595 years after Noah's birth, or 777
years after Lamech's birth, Lamech

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.
Flood ends Genesis 8:13 And it came to pass in the six
hundred and first year, in the first month, the
(waters were first day of the month, that the waters were
dried up) dried up from the earth; and Noah removed
the covering of the ark and looked, and
indeed the surface of the ground was dry.
Arphaxad's Genesis 11:10 This is the genealogy of Shem:

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
‘Deluge’. 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 is
rounded 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.
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.
35 years after Arphaxad's birth, Salah
was born.
30 years after Salah's birth, Eber was
born.
34 years after Eber's birth, Peleg was

Sarah's birth Genesis 17:17 Then Abraham fell on his face
and laughed, and said in his heart, "Shall a

Peleg's death Genesis 11:19 After he begot Reu, Peleg lived
two hundred and nine years, and begot sons

Nahor's death Genesis 11:25 After he begot Terah, Nahor lived
one hundred and nineteen years, and begot

Nahor's birth being any later than
Terah's seventieth year.
70 years after Terah’s birth, Haran was
born.

there is no other verses that point to
Abraham's birth being any later

When Abraham was 100 years old,
Sarah was 90 years old. Therefore,
10 years after Abraham’s birth,
Sarah was born.
209 years after Reu’s birth, Peleg died
119 years after Terah’s birth, Nahor was
born
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.

Canaan 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.

Abraham was ninety-nine years old when he

And Ishmael his son was thirteen years old

God's Genesis 17:17 Then Abraham fell on his face
and laughed, and said in his heart, "Shall a

90 years after Sarah's birth, or 100 years

Abraham the promise.

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.

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 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.

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

Israel, in the month of Ziv, which is the
second month, that he began to build the
house of the LORD.

years in building it.
480 years after the Israelites leave
Egypt, Solomon begins construction
of the temple.
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 dates
derived 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.
