A FEW WORDS ABOUT THE WORKSHEET: Please understand that the years across the top and bottom of the chart in the worksheet do not represent a time line of equal points in time depicted horizontally. They simply represent the birth/death years of the patriarchs in a horizontal arrangement to demonstrate who was alive at what points in time and who was alive when others were also alive. DETERMINING NOAH, SETH AND ARPHAXAD’S BIRTH YEARS NOAH You may determine the year Noah was born by adding the years of the father's ages as provided in Genesis chapter 5 together to arrive at the year 1056. Add Adams age when Seth was born to the age of Seth when Enosh was born and so on and you will see that the year Noah was born was 1056. SETH Now that we know the year of Noah's birth was 1056, we can determine the birth year of Shem. From Genesis 7:11 we know the flood came when not was 600 years old. That puts us at the year 1656. From Genesis 11:10 we learn that Shem was 100 years old two years after the flood. This means that he was born 98 years before the flood in the year 1558. ARPHAXAD We learn from Genesis 11:10 that Shem was 100 years old when Arphaxad was born which places his birth year at 1658. The other birth years all build on these birth years. DAY TWO1.
