        Last page (Adam to Noah, dated 10/04/06) we left off at Noah's death. This page is my attempt to log geneology including birth, age at birth of *righteous son* (the sons that walked with God) from Noah to Abraham, and their death dates, ending in a total year from zero. Also, I will also add notes where applicable below the table. These accounts can be verified in the Bible within that pages of Genesis 5:30 - 25:8. Notice how sharply the lives of mankind declined after the flood, from 900+ years down to only 200 and less!

TOTALS

Years since creation, Abraham is 100,
begets Isaac =
2046
Confirmation that TOTAL years is 2046 (Abraham @ 100) +75 (remaining life after begat) = 2121 (dies).

I arrive at the final Year of Death by adding the age of death to the previous mens' begat ages.

I state Noah on this page for reference, but he's also on the previous list.
Shem begets Arpachshad two years after the flood (Gen 11:10). Notice that Shem is the
only patriach to be 100, the rest are all in their 30s, when they beget sons. Noah's lifespan
is as his forefathers, Shem was born before the flood and inherits a relatively long lifespan.
After the flood, Shem looses 300+/- years of lifespan and dies at 600;
the next three patriach's after him die in their 400s, then it declines to death at 200s.

For Terah no *years after begat* are shown in the Bible, so I just did the math
from the other two ages which are mentioned in the Bible.

Abram (Abraham) is 75 when he leaves the location of Haran (Gen 12:4).
The first mention of the word Hebrew in Genesis 14:13 (Abram the Hebrew).
Abram was 86 when Hagar (the Egyptian handmaid) bore Ishmael (Gen 16:16).
The LORD appears to Abram (Gen 17) when he's 99 and makes him a promise that He
will establish His covenant with him and multiply him exceedingly and that he will be the father of
many nations. He also changes his name to Abraham and institutes circumcision, Ishmael is 13.
Angels appear to Abraham aged 100, and Sarah (was Sarai ~ Gen 17:15) aged 90
and tell them they will bear a son within the year and are to call him Isaac for which the promise
of God's everlasting covenant would be carried out through him.

Apparently, three of the patriachs were still alive at the time of Abraham's death, they were:
Shem (born before the flood), Shelah and Eber! The one to die at a relatively early age is Nahor at 148,
and Abraham was comparatively young also but God said he'd live to a good old age (Gen 15:15)

There's a total of 10 generations recorded from Noah to Abraham, but
Abraham is the 20th generation from Adam.
We've left off in time at year 2046, from creation.
