Archbishop Ussher's chronology vs genealogies in the Scriptures (Telescoped Genealogies)

http://www.biblemysteries.com/library/adam.htm

The author has made some small errors in the time span, this related to the out-of-fellowship years during the time of the Judges (113 year to be exact).

I no longer give credence to genealogies determining chronologies, so this may be obsolete, but it is nonetheless very interesting and may be true. See the next thread please.

Levi 77 years in Egypt

Kohath 133 years in Egypt

Amram 137 years in Egypt

Aaron 83 years in Egypt

430 years total time

The Genesis Genealogies: Are They Complete?

Please see link. An excellent summary.

Prominent Conservative Theologians Who Hold that the Genesis Genealogies Are Telescoped:14

• William Henry Green, “Primeval Chronology,” Bibliotheca Sacra (April 1890), 285�303.
• B. B. Warfield, “On the Antiquity and Unity of the Human Race,” reprinted in Biblical and Theological Studies (P & R, 1968), 238�61.
• Charles Hodge, Systematic Theology, vol. 2, 40�41.
• James Oliver Buswell, A Systematic Theology of the Christian Religion , Part 2, Chapter 4.
• R. K. Harrison, Introduction to the Old Testament , 147�52.
• Francis Schaeffer, Genesis in Space and Time.

People were living long before Adam. It is a grave mistake to believe the Bronze Age, which is when Cain was born, marks the beginning of mankind.

What!?

People before Adam? Wow!

Moses, Aaron, and Miriam all play critical roles in the Exodus, and their genealogy appears four times in the Bible (Exodus 6:16�20; Numbers 26:57�59; 1 Chronicles 6:1�3; 23:6, 12�13). Joshua, son of Nun, was also a part of the Exodus and has his own genealogy (Numbers 13:8, 16; 1 Chronicles 7:20�27). Both sets of genealogies span the same 430�year period (Exodus 12:40�41; Acts 7:6) from the sojourn to Egypt until the Exodus from Egypt, yet one lists four generations and the other has twelve.
