2 | Triplets? | Gen 5:32 | keliy | 214637 | ||
Hello Vintage, My feelings are that I have to disagree with Searcher on this one, sorry Searcher. In Gen vs 32, there is the connecting word 'and' that bring together two events that were otherwise very possibly unrelated. Again, just my view, but the verse tells us Noah's age, AND that he fathered 3 sons. Again my viewpoint tells me that Noah was not 500 years old when he had his first child. These three names are brought up separately, because our Lord separated these three, each for their own special purpose and destiny. Namely, to father three nations of mankind. The lists of names of fathers and sons were preserved only for the Jews alone, meaning Shem, especially, and this for the sake of the Messiah. Now, I don't know about the others, but Shem was 100 when he gave birth to his son two years after the flood. (Gen 11:10) This would mean that Shem was born when Noah was 502. Now back to Searcher, I do not disagree with you entirely, for there is no conclusive evidence that the three were not triplets. But, by the same token, one could possibly argue that Cain and Able were twins. -As this has been done by the famously false, prophet Branham. Blessings to you, keliy |

Hi Keliy Thanks for the answer. The math on Shem was a good piece of information. Your right, It would take someone like Branham to come up with the Twin theory, in light of the two scriptures in there original context. Genesis 4:1, 2 And Adam knew Eve his wife; and she conceived, and bare Cain, and said, I have gotten a man from the LORD. And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground. Vintage68 |
