A TIME SCALE FROM ADAM TO CHRIST
A GENERATION TABLE
Note:
"Years passed since Adam's death" calculated as the number of
years each person lived after the deaths of their respective fathers, added to
the sum of each previous person's years lived after their respective father's
death. If the person's father died
before the person's grandfather, then the number of years after his
grandfather's death is figured into the sum.

962 (Gen. 5:20) |
492 |
|
Enoch |
65 (Gen. 5:21) which means Jared is 227 |
300 (Gen. 5:22) |
(Enoch apparently died before his father at 365) |
365 (Gen. 5:23) |
--- |
|
Methuselah |
187 (Gen. 5:25) |
782 (Gen. 5:26) |
*735 (227 yrs less than grand- father Jared) |
969 (Gen. 5:27) |
726 |
|
Lamech |
182 (Gen. 5:28) |
595 (Gen. 5:30) |
(Lamech died before his father at age 777) |
777 (Gen. 5:31) |
--- |
|
Noah |
Didn't see any definite age for when first son born |
--- |
*600 (369 yrs less than grndFthr Methuselah) **595 (182 yrs less than Lamech) |
950 (Gen. 9:29) |
1076 |
If the calculations are correct, from Adam's
creation to the death of Noah are about 2006 years.
In Genesis 6:3, God decreed that man would
eventually live a maximum of 120 years.
Around the time of Abraham's Father, the generations were dying at a
much younger age relative to the past.
*Since the person's fathers died before
their own fathers, the person's age at their
grandfather's death is shown.
**note that Noah's father died just five
years before the flood because Noah was 600
when the flood came (Gen. 7:6). When Noah was 600, His grandfather Methuselah
(who was 187 years older than Noah's father Lamech, who was 182 years older than Noah)
was 969 (600 + 182 + 187 = 969). Methuselah probably died just before The
Flood began.
