1 | How long is a Biblical Generation ? | Gen 15:16 | biblicalman | 229210 | ||
Hi Holmes, So Ephraim's granddaughter married a rich Canaanite and returned to Canaan say 200 years before the exodus, rebuilding 3 cities? As Ephraim's family would also be rich this is not surprising. But you are surely not suggesting that she returned with Moses and with her great great great great great grandson Joshua? That would be stretching credulity too far. Her return to Canaan is irrelevant for the question we are dealing with. I fail to see the connection. No doubt you will explain it a little better if you think it worth your time. It doesn't affect anything I have said. It was when Joshua returned that was important. Best wishes |

Hi biblicalman, - You wrote: “But you are surely not suggesting that she returned with Moses and with her great great great great great grandson Joshua? That would be stretching credulity too far.” I would be suggesting that. However, as you have pointed out the 7 generations between Sheerah and Joshua stretches credulity and I must agree. Especially since Sherrah and Joshua would have to be approximately the same age when they entered Canaan. It would seem to me that these passages may have a different meaning than what they say on their face and must be interpreted elsewhere in scripture. One correction, Joshua is the 5th great grand nephew of Sheerah. I cede this point to you, pending further study. Holmes |
