Subject: How many years in between Adam and Noah? |
Bible Note: I had to be more than that. I found an old email I saved about Bible chronology, it doesn't go into the detail of exactly how much time between Adam and Noah, but it does go to the flood and Noah was 5-600 yrs old by the time the flood came, so a thousand years is prob closer. I believe I read that Adam was still around when Noah's daddy was born but not Noah. Anyway, here it is: Jim Kalua here: Adam to the Flood Equals 1656 years: Gen.5; Gen.7:6 Flood to Abraham Equals 427 years: Gen.11:10-32; Gen.12:4 Abraham to the Exodus Equals 430 years: Gal.3: 17 Exodus to Solomon's Temple Equals 480 years 1Kgs.6:1 Solomon's Temple to the Death of Ahab Equals 116 years: 1Kgs.11: 42; 1Kgs.14:21; 1Kgs.15 :1,2; 1Kgs.16 :29 The Death of Ahab occurred in 853 BC. NIV Study Bible page 502 Total number of years 3962 [3962 plus 2000 AD Equals 5962 YEARS] The 430 years: 3962 - year of Flood Equals 2306 BC The promise was made to Abraham at age 75 Gal.3: 16,17 2306 - Abraham @ 75 years old Equals 1879 BC Gen.12:4 1879 - 25 years to birth of Isaac Equals 1854 BC Gen.21:5 1854 - 60 years to birth of Jacob Equals 1794 BC Gen.25:26 The Hyksos started to gain power in Egypt. 1794 - 130 years when Jacob enters Egypt Equals 1664 BC Gen.47:9 The Hyksos where at the height of their power around this time with Joseph at the head. 25 plus 60 plus 130 Equals 215 years. Joseph was 39 years old when Jacob entered Egypt and Levi was about 42 years old when he entered Egypt. Ruben was born near the second year of Jacobs second seven year contract. Simmion was born about the third near the fourth year. Levi was born somewhere aroud the fourth year and fifth year Joseph around the sixth and sevent year. 137 years - 42 Equals 95 years of Levi's life in Egypt 1664 BC - 95 years Equals 1569 BC Ahmose I (r. c.1570-1546 BCE), was the founder of the 18th dynasty, one of the most outstanding in the history of ancient Egypt.

Amenhotep I (Amenophis) was the son of Ahmose I, and ruled from 1546 to 1526. Thutmose I , (r. 1525-1512), Thutmose II (r. c.1512-c.1504 BCE) He married his half sister Hatshepsut Hatshepsut (Hashepsowe), d. c.1482 BC, was one of the few women to rule Egypt as a pharaoh. After the death (c.1504 BC) of her husband, Thutmose II, she assumed power, first as regent for his son Thutmose III, and then (c.1503 BC) as pharaoh. 1529 BC - 40 Equals 1489 BC about this time Moses ran away. Thutmose III , (c.1504-1450 BC), was very young when his father, Thutmose II, died and was until 1482 the co-regent of his aunt, Hatshepsut. Jim Kalua |
