Years from the Creation to the Destruction of Jerusalem by Titus Vespasian The year of the World  The years between 1 Adam was created Gen. 1.27  130 Seth was born Gen. 5.3 130 235 Enos was born Gen. 5.6 105 325 Cainan was born Gen. 5.9 90 395 Mahalaleel was born Gen. 5.12 70 460 Jared was born Gen. 5.15 65 622 Enoch was born Gen. 5 18. 162 687 Methuselah was born Gen. 5.21 65 874 Lamech was born Gen. 5.25 187 1056 Noah was born Gen. 5.28,29 182 1558 Shem was born Gen. 5.32 with cap. 7,6 ca. 8.13 ca. 11.10 Though it is said Gen. 5.32 that Noah was 500 years old and begat Shem Ham and Japhet the meaning is not that they were all born at a birth but that then he began to beget Now that Shem was not born before two years after appears in that it is said Gen. 11.10 That Shem at one hundred years old begat Arphaxad two years after the flood And Gen. 7.6 that Noah was 600 years old when the flood came 502 1658 Arphaxad was born Gen. 11.10 100 1693 Salah was born Gen. 11.12 35 1723 Eber was born Gen. 11.14 30 1757 Perug was born Gen. 11.16 34 1787 Reu was born Gen. 11.18 30 1819 Serug was born Gen. 11.20 32 1849 Nahor was born Gen. 11.22 30 1878 Terah was born Gen. 11.24 29 2008 Abraham was born Abraham could not be the eldest Son though he be placed first Gen. 11.26 but he was born 60 years after as appears by comparing Gen. 11.32 with c. 12.4 whereby it appears that Terah lived 200 and five years at whose death Abraham was seventy five years old which being substracted from 205. there remains 130. 130 2083 The Covenant was made with Abraham Gen. 12.4 75 2108 Isaac was born Gen. 21. â— 25 2168 Esau and Jacob were born Gen. 25.26 60 2298 Jacob went down into Egypt Gen. 47.9 At this time Joseph was 39 years old viz. at his sale into Egypt 17 years Gen. 37.2 when he stood before Pharaoh 30 yearâ— Gen. 41 46. When Jacob came to Egypt 39 years for the seven years of plenty and two of famine were past Gen. 45.6 so as Joseph was born when Jacob was 91 years old 130 2369 Joseph died Gen. 50.26 Which is cleareâ— thus Joseph was at his fathers coming into Egypt as before 39 years Jacob lived in Egypt 17 years Gen. 47.28 so as at his father death he was 54 years that is in all 110 years Gen 50.26 Add the 17 and 54 together it maketh 71. 71 2433 Moses was born This is proved after 64 2513 Israel went up out of Egypt when Moses was 80 years old Exod. 7.7 This must be so because he lived in all but 120 years whereof 40 were spent in the wilderness Deut. 34.7 with cap. 29.5 So as from the Covenant made with Abraham to the Israelites coming up out of Egypt is 430 years according to that in Gen. 12.41 with Gal. 3.17 which proves the time between the death of Joseph to the birth of Moses to be 64 years 80 2553 The Israelites entred into Canaan under the conduct of Joshuah Josh 5.6
