These tables accompany Noah’s Flood: Day–Year Datums and the Pattern of New Creation. They preserve the legacy research’s numerical content while making the selected state, origin, day boundary and fixed anchor explicit. The normal historical comparison follows the MT, Nisan reckoning, 430 years in Egypt, Gear 2, and no restored second Cainan or +60 Terah unless named. The symbolic 721/751 columns are comparison grids, not replacement Flood dates.
Genesis supplies the narrative dates; the continuous 360-day count and the day–year lift are declared research operations. File 12’s reconstructed intercalation option preserves both counted and uncounted insertions. The older source is retained unchanged at its original address.

1. Three considered origins
The original discussion considered these three possible datums before developing the Arphaxad comparison. Its second candidate was phrased as “the end of the 601st year,” but interpreted as 600 years and one day: an ambiguous ordinal/year-turn expression, rather than the completed end of another entire year. The table makes the counter distinction explicit. These candidates are not three independently supplied biblical month-and-day dates.
| Candidate origin | What it measures | Role in this study |
|---|---|---|
| Start of Noah’s selected 600th year | A year-opening boundary before the month 2/day 17 outbreak | Considered opening datum; the inherited event labels are laid out from this year opening. |
| Next-year / 601st-year boundary | Completion of the first modeled 360-day year, followed by its first numbered day | Considered year-turn datum; labels 360/361 belong to this boundary and day. It is not the end of Noah’s complete 601st year. |
| Arphaxad’s birth-year boundary | The fixed post-Flood birth year, two year labels after the normal Gear 2 Flood | Selected symbolic zero. A Nisan year boundary is a model coordinate; Genesis 11:10 does not supply Arphaxad’s birth month or day. |
The assistant’s preliminary 2456−47 = 2409, 2456−197 = 2259 and 2456−361 = 2095 calculations were not adopted by the author. They survive in the unchanged original; the adopted columns below use signed distances of 720/750 from the selected symbolic zero.

2. Regular anchors and the optional Terah state
The working baseline is MT, Nisan, full 430 years in Egypt, normal Gear 2, no restored second Cainan and no +60 Terah. The +60 fork affects the upstream Terah-and-earlier field; the later named targets remain fixed. File 18 supplies the full manuscript and variant tables, and File 07 controls the Creation node classes.
| Coordinate | Normal MT BC | Explicit +60 Terah BC | State or qualification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creation-week opening | 4121 | 4181 | Seven-unit wrapper opening; distinct from Creation endpoint. |
| Creation endpoint | 4114 | 4174 | Normal MT endpoint; Creation week is 4121→4114. |
| Year-6 / Adam position | 4116 | 4176 | Separate node class under File 07; do not substitute it for the endpoint in the equations below. |
| Jared birth | 3654 | 3714 | Regular MT birth coordinate; the Watcher-era interpretation does not date descent exactly to birth. |
| Enoch ascension / end of 365-year life | 3127 | 3187 | Regular MT coordinate. |
| Lamech birth | 3240 | 3300 | MT lifespan 777. |
| Lamech death | 2463 | 2523 | Five years before normal Gear 2 Flood and seven before Arphaxad. |
| Noah primary birth | 3058 | 3118 | Normal Gear 2 / 600 years at the Flood position. |
| Noah qualified alternative birth | 3056 | 3116 | Named Noah/Shem binding alternative; do not replace the primary with it silently. |
| Methuselah death | 2458 | 2518 | Regular MT death coordinate coincides with normal Gear 2 Flood start. |
| Normal Gear 2 Flood start→close | 2458→2457 | 2518→2517 | One-year event span; selected start is the reference for the two-year year-opening model. |
| Arphaxad birth | 2456 | 2516 | Fixed post-Flood suffix at held settings. |
| Shem Noah-bound birth | 2558 | 2618 | 100 at the normal Flood; retained as a named binding. |
| Shem Arphaxad-bound birth | 2556 | 2616 | 100 at Arphaxad’s birth; the two bindings remain distinct. |
| Abraham circumcision / Isaac promise | 2067 | 2067 unchanged | Genesis 17; the covenant-chart station is not Isaac’s following birth in 2066. |
| Jacob departure / ladder-vision field | 1929 | 1929 unchanged | The original covenant-chart station. |
| Benjamin birth, local inferred date | 1906 | 1906 unchanged | Retained inferential placement, not an explicit Genesis year. |
| Jacob death | 1859 | 1859 unchanged | Regular death coordinate. |
| Moses birth | 1526 | 1526 unchanged | Fixed downstream Moses coordinate. |
| Entry into Egypt | 1876 | 1876 unchanged | Normal full 430 years in Egypt state. |
| Exodus | 1446 | 1446 unchanged | Fixed Nisan anchor. |
| Conquest begins | 1406 | 1406 unchanged | Moses death / entry into the land. |
| Land division / rest-onset boundary | 1400 | 1400 unchanged | Beginning of the 1400–1399 rest interval used by the covenant chart. |
| First Sabbath-rest terminal label | 1399 | 1399 unchanged | Distinct from the preceding 1400 boundary. |
| Joshua death | 1366 | 1366 unchanged | 1476→1366, lifespan 110. |
| Jerusalem / Temple destruction | 586 | 586 unchanged | Primary schematic / normal endpoint; nearby 587 historical date-state is separately admitted. |
| Selected nativity anchor | 6 | 6 unchanged | Repository date selection, not a Gospel month-and-day statement. |
The copied legacy historical-reference table was broader than this argument and mixed chronological states. The local list supplies the needed research anchors; the complete regular tables remain available directly through File 18. Native LXX Cainan and an MT restored-Cainan comparison are distinct from the no-Cainan MT baseline here.

3. The reconstructed forty-year cycle
The declared schedule has six stages of six years and one stage of four years. A thirty-day month closes each stage. Its epoch is selected at 1446n BC and recurs at 6n BC, 36 complete forty-year cycles later. The 606n examples display the same phase used in the Ezekiel series.
| Stage | Ordinary years in stage | Cumulative ordinary years | Closing boundary from 1446n BC | Closing boundary from 606n BC | Inserted days |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 6 | 6 | 1440 | 600 | 30 |
| 2 | 6 | 12 | 1434 | 594 | 30 |
| 3 | 6 | 18 | 1428 | 588 | 30 |
| 4 | 6 | 24 | 1422 | 582 | 30 |
| 5 | 6 | 30 | 1416 | 576 | 30 |
| 6 | 6 | 36 | 1410 | 570 | 30 |
| 7 | 4 | 40 | 1406 | 566 | 30 |
The exact arithmetic is 40 × 360 + 7 × 30 = 14610 = 40 × 365.25. The mechanism is a reconstructed calendar scheme, not an intercalation schedule expressly reported in Genesis. File 12 §7A also preserves the option to reckon a schematic span with or without its intercalary month. BC closing residues modulo 40 are 0, 6, 10, 16, 22, 28 and 34.

4. The two year-opening windows
The normal two-year window crosses a closure at 2456n; the +60 window has no closure before its 2516n endpoint. These sample phases therefore support the original 750/720 distinction. They begin at the modeled year opening, not at month 2 day 17.
| Selected sample window | Closing leap in this window | Reckoned ordinary days | Counted insertion | Signed symbolic distance | BC opening label |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal 2458n→2456n BC | 2456n | 720 | 30 | −750 | 751 |
| Optional +60 2518n→2516n BC | None | 720 | 0 | −720 | 721 |
| Normal window with insertion excluded from schematic reckoning | 2456n exists but is not reckoned | 720 | 0 | −720 | 721 |
The corresponding symbolic origins are reusable grids, irrespective of which literal Terah state a later comparison selects. In particular, the +60 Creation-week comparison below uses Column B as a cross-state comparison; it does not claim that the +60 two-year sample itself contains an insertion. Signed zero displays as 1 BC; −720 and −750 display as 721 and 751 BC. This is coordinate labeling, not a formal Mirror reflection. File 00 §3.9 controls the distinct Mirror vocabulary.

5. The complete 721/751 projection ledger
For every row, Column A = 721−d BC and Column B = 751−d BC. The two columns are exactly thirty projected years apart. These are symbolic comparison coordinates; the regular Flood remains 2458 BC in the baseline. The missing publication table is reconstructed from the original author’s explicit rule and event labels.
| Event or boundary | Inherited label d | Column A BC: 721−d | Column B BC: 751−d | Passage | Boundary / inference status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Creation-week anniversary completed | 7 | 714 | 744 | Genesis 2:1–3 | Selected seven-unit anniversary bracket. |
| Preparation / proposed initial entry | 40 | 681 | 711 | Genesis 7:4; 7:13 | Warning gives seven days; household entry is explicitly tied to the outbreak day. Earlier entry at month 2 day 10 is inferred. |
| Flood begins / door-shut field | 47 | 674 | 704 | Genesis 7:11, 16 | Completion of month 2 day 17; explicit outbreak date. |
| Forty-day rain completes | 87 | 634 | 664 | Genesis 7:12, 17 | 47+40; rain end, not complete Flood end. |
| Ark rests | 197 | 524 | 554 | Genesis 8:4 | Completion of month 7 day 17; 197−47=150. |
| Mountain tops appear | 270 | 451 | 481 | Genesis 8:5 | Opening of month 10 day 1, using the first-day exception. |
| Raven stage | 310 | 411 | 441 | Genesis 8:6–7 | Forty days from the selected mountain-top opening; inferred month 11 day 10 completion. |
| First dove | 317 | 404 | 434 | Genesis 8:8–9 | Inferred seven-day interval after the raven stage. |
| Second dove | 324 | 397 | 427 | Genesis 8:10–11 | Explicit later seven-day wait; absolute date follows the reconstruction. |
| Third dove | 331 | 390 | 420 | Genesis 8:12 | Explicit later seven-day wait; month 12 day 1 completion in this reconstructed sequence. |
| Covering removed / surface-dry opening | 360 | 361 | 391 | Genesis 8:13 | Year-turn opening of month 1 day 1. |
| Same surface-dry day completed | 361 | 360 | 390 | Genesis 8:13 | Completion companion; not the full-earth drying of verse 14. |
| Earth fully dry / following exit field | 417 | 304 | 334 | Genesis 8:14–19 | Completion of next month 2 day 27; exit follows the command and is not separately dated. |
Label 361 was formerly called complete earth drying. Its value is conserved with its proper Genesis 8:13 surface-dry completion role; complete earth drying belongs to 417 and Genesis 8:14. Genesis passages can be read directly in Genesis 7, BSB and Genesis 8, BSB.

6. Uniform counters beside the inherited labels
Let y = 0 for the selected Flood year and y = 1 for the next year. Opening(y, m, d) = 360y + 30(m−1) + (d−1); completion = opening +1. These formulas supply uniform counters. The inherited projection uses completion for ordinary dated days and opening for selected first-of-month rows.
| Explicit calendar date | Event | Elapsed days at opening from the selected year origin | Completed days at its close | Numbered day in the continuous count | Inherited projection label |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Year 600, month 2 day 17 | Flood outbreak | 46 | 47 | 47 | 47 |
| Year 600, month 7 day 17 | Ark resting | 196 | 197 | 197 | 197 |
| Year 600, month 10 day 1 | Mountain tops visible | 270 | 271 | 271 | 270 |
| Year 601, month 1 day 1 | Covering removed / surface dry | 360 | 361 | 361 | 360 opening / 361 completion |
| Year 601, month 2 day 27 | Earth fully dry | 416 | 417 | 417 | 417 |
Consequently Ark-rest completion to mountain-top opening is 270−197 =73. Opening to opening is 270−196 =74, as is completion to completion, 271−197 =74. The original assistant’s explanation “two months plus fourteen =73” was incorrect arithmetic; the 73 selected-boundary gap itself survives. Likewise 417−360 =57 mixes covering-opening with drying-completion, whereas 417−361 =56 matches day completions. The opening of the first modeled day is d=0; its occupancy is bounded by 0 and 1. The completion of the seventh day is d=7, rather than seven inclusively enumerated BC labels from 721 to 714.

7. Bird stages and the Temple-date correspondence
The first-day exception at 270 permits 270+40 =310, the completion of month 11 day 10. With a Tishri opening, the eleventh month corresponds to Av, fifth from Nisan. Jeremiah 52:12–13 places the arrival of Nebuzaradan on the tenth of that fifth month, followed by the burning of the Temple.
| Stage | Inherited label | Reconstructed month/day | With month 1=Nisan | With month 1=Tishri | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mountain-top opening | 270 | Month 10 day 1 | Tevet 1 | Tammuz 1 | Explicit ordinal month/day; seasonal identification is selected. |
| Raven stage after forty days | 310 | Month 11 day 10, completion | Shevat 10 | Av 10 | Reconstructed forty-day placement from the month-opening coordinate. |
| First dove | 317 | Month 11 day 17, completion | Shevat 17 | Av 17 | Seven days after raven is inferred. |
| Second dove | 324 | Month 11 day 24, completion | Shevat 24 | Av 24 | Later seven-day wait is explicit; absolute date remains reconstructed. |
| Third dove | 331 | Month 12 day 1, completion | Adar 1 | Elul 1 | Later seven-day wait is explicit; this inferred bird-date row uses completion. |
This is a proposed correspondence between a reconstructed Flood stage and a stated Jerusalem date, not a date expressly assigned to the raven by Genesis. The bird sequence is read in Genesis 8:6–12, BSB; the historical comparison can be read in Jeremiah 52:12–13, BSB. The Tishri and Nisan alternatives are both retained without merging their month names.

8. What 370, 410 and 417 count
Changing the origin changes the coordinate without changing the narrative. A 410 construction and a 417 ending label can both be valid, while the selected outbreak-to-drying difference is 370. None of these statements alone establishes a historically observed calendar intercalation.
| Origin / selected starting boundary | Ending boundary | Calculation | Result | Meaning |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Flood outbreak completion 47 | Complete-earth drying completion 417 | 417−47 | 370 | Unintercalated model duration between matched date boundaries. |
| Proposed preparation/entry marker 40 | Complete-earth drying completion 417 | 417−40 | 377 | Includes the inferred preceding week; not a separately explicit entry timestamp. |
| Creation-anniversary seventh-day completion 7 | Complete-earth drying completion 417 | 417−7 | 410 | Separate anniversary-origin construction. |
| Selected year-opening boundary 0 | Complete-earth drying completion 417 | 417−0 | 417 | The inherited ending coordinate measured from year opening. |
| Covering-opening boundary 360 | Complete-earth drying completion 417 | 417−360 | 57 | Mixed opening/completion labels. |
| Covering-day completion 361 | Complete-earth drying completion 417 | 417−361 | 56 | Matched day completions. |
The complete event sequence and narrative limitations are explained in the main study. A same-day exit after the earth-dry notice is permitted as a reconstruction, but Genesis supplies no separate month-and-day date for exit, altar construction or the rainbow covenant.

9. Seven-unit arrangements and the Arphaxad choice
The larger patterns give the small date calculations their proposed narrative significance. Each retains its own scale: literal days, years, or a projected day–year unit. The last two rows are theological correspondences built on separately identified coordinates.
| Comparison | Selected coordinates or quantities | Arithmetic | Interpretive role |
|---|---|---|---|
| Lamech→Flood→Arphaxad | 2463→2458→2456 BC | 5+2=7 | Lamech’s relief/rest promise and renewed human line provide the literary setting. |
| Methuselah→Arphaxad | 2458→2456 BC | 2 | Death-at-Flood field precedes the new post-Flood birth year. |
| Famine opening→Jacob entry→famine end | 1878→1876→1871 BC | 2+5=7 | Genesis 45:6 supplies two past famine years and five remaining. |
| Ezekiel call→siege→Jerusalem fall | 593→588→586 BC year-label framework | about 5+about 2 | Exact months and intersecting week-units require the Ezekiel tables; these are broad year-label components. |
| Creation sixth day / Noah’s 600th year→rest/new family | Five preceding work units + sixth man-creation unit + seventh rest; Flood-year/Arphaxad comparison | 5+1+1=7 as a Creation-week arrangement | The 600th-year wording invites a sixth-unit/renewal interpretation, not equality of 600 literal years with six days. |
| Arphaxad→selected nativity | 2456→6 BC | 2450=5×490 | Normal MT state to the selected Christ birth anchor. |
Creation’s year-scale wrapper is 4121→4114; the distinct Year-6 interval is 4116→4115, followed by seventh-unit rest 4115→4114. These positions follow File 07. Lamech’s MT 777 and the adopted LXX 753 lifespan are different textual states. The comparison does not replace a lifespan or claim that Genesis explicitly states a seven-year Creation chronology.

10. The point-for-point 3430 comparison
This selects the +60 literal Creation wrapper and the 751 symbolic origin. The two week brackets stand 3430 apart point for point. They should not be blended with normal 4114 in this particular equation.
| Matched boundary | Literal +60 Creation BC | Column B symbolic BC | Difference | Factorization |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Week opening | 4181 | 751 | 3430 | 7×490 =70×49 |
| Week closing | 4174 | 744 | 3430 | 7×490 =70×49 |
| Width of each bracket | 4181−4174 | 751−744 | 7 | Seven elapsed boundary-units |
“Seventy jubilees” here means seventy declared 49-year units. It neither asserts a continuous historical Jubilee-observance record nor adds fourteen extra years to the corresponding-point span. Counting the eight endpoint labels inclusively is a different operation from measuring the seven-unit bracket.

11. Jared, the forty-unit gain and the 430 cycles
The 460→500 operation fixes the selected Creation endpoint and advances the other coordinate 40. The subsequent 2940 comparison carries the A endpoint from 714 to 674 by the same amount. A further source interpretation relates that 40 gain to the forty-day rain.
| Selected state / operation | Earlier BC coordinate | Later BC coordinate | Difference or result | Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Normal Creation→Jared | 4114 | 3654 | 460=23×20 | Jared’s birth supplies the coordinate for his era. |
| Normal Jared→A seventh-unit close | 3654 | 714 | 2940=6×490 | Initial 460 component is not itself 490. |
| Creation held fixed; 460×25/23 =500 | 4114 | 3614 | 40 gain at generated Jared-side endpoint | 3614 is comparison output, not historical Jared birth. |
| Generated Jared-side endpoint→A onset | 3614 | 674 | 2940=6×490 | Both endpoints of the former 3654→714 interval move forward 40. |
| Normal Creation→A onset | 4114 | 674 | 3440=8×430 | Column A label 47. |
| +60 Creation→+60 Jared | 4174 | 3714 | 460 | Explicit Terah state. |
| +60 Jared→B onset | 3714 | 704 | 3010=7×430 | Column B label 47. |
| Same 40 translation of the previous interval | 3674 | 664 | 3010=7×430 | Generated Jared-side endpoint and B rain-end label 87. |
The 1+6 grouping is a typological arrangement with a 460 first component followed by six 490 units. Likewise the seven 430 and eight 430 meanings concern completion and renewal as proposed narrative readings. Their exact arithmetic does not prove a specific historical Watcher descent date. File 17 §10.4 provides the 460/1196 decomposition, and File 22 §§7.11–7.12 develops the Watcher-span companions.

12. Exact expansions and the two fixed-anchor choices
Every expansion in this table concerns a length. The last two columns show what coordinate follows if one endpoint is held fixed. They are alternatives, not simultaneous changes to an actual biography. For example, fixing Jared 3654 expands 2990 to 3250 and reaches 404; fixing the later 664 endpoint instead moves the comparison head to 3914.
| Selected interval BC | Original span | 23 coefficient | Expanded ×25/23 | Gain | Earlier BC anchor fixed: new later BC | Later BC anchor fixed: new earlier BC |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4114→3654 (Creation→Jared) | 460 | 20 | 500 | 40 | 3614 | 4154 |
| 3654→2458 (Jared→regular Flood) | 1196 | 52 | 1300 | 104 | 2354 | 3758 |
| 2458→664 (Regular Flood→B rain end) | 1794 | 78 | 1950 | 156 | 508 | 2614 |
| 3654→664 (Jared→B rain end) | 2990 | 130 | 3250 | 260 | 404 | 3914 |
| 4114→664 (Creation→B rain end) | 3450 | 150 | 3750 | 300 | 364 | 4414 |
| 1446→664 (Exodus→B rain end) | 782 | 34 | 850 | 68 | 596 | 1514 |
The 1794 span also factors as 13×138, and its 1950 output is 5×390. The 1196 input is 52×23 and 4×299; the distinct Enochian 300/299 operator gives 1200 rather than the Priestly 25/23 output 1300. A span’s 130 coefficient supports the proposed curse/judgment reading; it does not cause the actual Flood date. The Exodus 1446 coordinate precedes the symbolic 664 coordinate, so 782 is read in that forward direction.

13. Expansion preserves the declared component sums
The same exact ratio distributes over addition, so the expanded whole equals the sum of the expanded parts. This tests a connected chain, rather than isolated multiplication. It does not by itself identify a historical execution of every generated coordinate.
| Connected portion | Original sum | Expanded sum | Equality |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jared→symbolic rain end | 1196+1794 | 1300+1950 | 2990→3250 |
| Creation→symbolic rain end | 460+1196+1794 | 500+1300+1950 | 3450→3750 |
| Creation→regular Flood | 460+1196 | 500+1300 | 1656→1800 |
| Standalone Flood-to-symbolic portion | 1794=13×138 | 1950=5×390 | 1794×25/23=1950 |
| Standalone Jared-to-Flood Enochian companion | 1196=4×299 | 1200=4×300 | 1196×300/299=1200 |
The Enochian companion in the last row is separately controlled by File 22 §7.12. Exact arithmetic and claims of literary or providential design remain distinct. No chance-probability estimate is supplied by the legacy article.

14. Two coherent placements of the expanded whole chain
Here all three components are expanded together: 500, 1300 and 1950. The table gives two internally coherent placements. “Jared-related” and “Flood-related” describe generated dividers in the comparison chain, not new dates for either historical person or event.
| Role in the chain | Original comparison BC | Expanded whole with Creation 4114 fixed: BC | Expanded whole with rain-end 664 fixed: BC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creation head | 4114 | 4114 | 4414 |
| Jared-related divider | 3654 | 3614 | 3914 |
| Flood-related divider | 2458 | 2314 | 2614 |
| Symbolic rain-end coordinate | 664 | 364 | 664 |
Do not mix these values with independently expanded pairs from the preceding table. For example, 2354 results from expanding 1196 while fixing historical Jared 3654, whereas 2314 results when the whole chain is expanded with Creation 4114 fixed and the Jared-related divider has already moved to 3614. Both calculations are valid, but their fixed anchors differ.

15. The original chart’s seven successive spans
The recovered covenant chart supplies 460+414+782+391+138+483+46 =2714 =23×118. The first three legs give 1656 from Creation to Flood; the next three give 1012 from Flood to Exodus; the last 46 reaches 1400. These are seven unequal multiples of 23, grouped as three forming, three filling and one rest.
| Station | BC coordinate | Numbered AM with year 1=4114 | Next span | 23 coefficient | Grouped interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

The covenant associations have different textual status. Noah, circumcision, Jacob’s promise and Sinai are biblical covenant narratives; a covenant at Jared’s or Lamech’s birth is interpretive. The Cainite Lamech’s seventy-sevenfold vengeance (Genesis 4:24) and Noah’s father’s 777 years (Genesis 5:31) belong to distinct persons. Seven ewe lambs and oath-making in Genesis 21:28–31 supply a literary seven/oath association. The 2067 circumcision station concerns Abraham’s age 99 covenant and Isaac promise (Genesis 17), not Isaac’s following 2066 birth or his later eighth-day circumcision (Genesis 21:4). The 1400 endpoint is the beginning of the 1400–1399 division/rest interval: 1446−1400 =46, whereas 1446−1399 =47. The source’s Conquest 3+3+1 grouping partitions the six campaign years structurally, followed by the rest-year interval; no separately dated midpoint is inferred. The historical chart cites Leviticus 19:3, a parents/Sabbaths instruction that does not state those durations. Its citation is preserved as source history. The six-work-years/one-rest-year analogy is supported by Leviticus 25:3–4, BSB; that law likewise does not independently date the campaigns.

16. Original lower AM labels and current explicit readings
Numbered AM =4114−BC+1; completed years =4114−BC. The principal chart labels 1/461/875/1657/2048/2186/2669/2715 fit the numbered convention. Its lower notes do not all use that same convention and state.
| Lower annotation | Original chart label | Selected BC state | Completed years from 4114 | Numbered AM from 4114 | Treatment |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enoch ascension | 990 | 3127 | 987 | 988 | Use 988 for the normal numbered baseline; old 990 is preserved as historical source labeling. |
| Noah primary birth | 1059 | 3058 | 1056 | 1057 | Use 1057 for normal primary 3058. |
| Noah qualified alternative birth | 1059 | 3056 | 1058 | 1059 | Old 1059 fits this named alternative; the binding must be explicit. |
| Benjamin birth, inferred | 2209 | 1906 | 2208 | 2209 | Numerically consistent with this local inferred placement. |
| Jacob death | 2255 | 1859 | 2255 | 2256 | Old 2255 is elapsed completed years; the numbered-year value is 2256. |
The original chart remains unchanged at its original address. These annotations repair the display without changing lifespans. No universal Year-6 origin is invented to rescue isolated old labels. The distinction between numbered and completed years is controlled by Files 07 and 18.

17. The LXX inset: matched states and elapsed intervals
The image’s inset says LXX Creation is 23×60 before MT and notes Seth 230 and Noah 23×72. These statements survive when their source state and elapsed-count meaning are declared.
| Claim or event | Selected LXX coordinate or calculation | Result | Necessary qualification |
|---|---|---|---|
| Creation head | 5494 BC vs MT 4114 BC | 1380=23×60 | Native LXX Cainan ON; matched full 430/Terah OFF settings. |
| Seth birth | 5494→5264 BC | 230 completed years; numbered AM 231 | 230 is a begetting interval, not the numbered year 230. |
| Noah birth | 5494→3838 BC | 1656=23×72 completed years; numbered AM 1657 | Selected LXX 187/182 birth chain; no second insertion of Cainan. |
| Actual LXX Flood comparison | 3238 BC vs MT 2458 BC | 780-year gap | The Creation-head 1380 difference does not persist at every person or event. |
| LXX Creation→its own Flood | 5494→3238 BC | 2256 years | This is not a multiple 23; do not transplant the whole MT pre-Flood scaffold wholesale. |
Current File 18 §4 supplies the native-Cainan LXX table; §3.1.4 gives its normal Gear 2 Flood 3238 and fixed Arphaxad 3236. MT keeps its separate 2458/2456 pair. Restoring Cainan in MT would open a new 130-year hinge and change the comparison; that switch is not active here.

18. What the inset preserves at fixed later targets
The literal shared target stays fixed while the Creation head moves 1380 earlier. Consequently a multiple 23 remains a multiple 23. This is the useful, bounded reading of the inset’s assertion that its post-Flood spans also work in LXX.
| Shared downstream target | MT Creation 4114 to target | Native LXX Creation 5494 to target | LXX 23 coefficient | Added head difference |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Circumcision 2067 | 2047=23×89 | 3427=23×149 | 149 | 1380=23×60 |
| Jacob ladder 1929 | 2185=23×95 | 3565=23×155 | 155 | 1380=23×60 |
| Exodus 1446 | 2668=23×116 | 4048=23×176 | 176 | 1380=23×60 |
| Land boundary 1400 | 2714=23×118 | 4094=23×178 | 178 | 1380=23×60 |
It is not a claim that every intervening LXX genealogy row is MT+1380. The later covenant stations in this table remain fixed under the selected matched settings, while Flood and earlier biographies have their own manuscript-specific intervals.

Interpretation, source history and further reading
The paired Creation brackets, Jared components, 430 cycles, 23-chain and covenant sequence are preserved because together they make the proposed design inspectable. Exact arithmetic does not determine every literary meaning, prove a specific scribal mechanism or supply a probability that the correspondences arose by chance. The Watcher traditions in 1 Enoch 6/10 and Jubilees 4/5 provide a supporting interpretation; their initial descent, later transgression and judgment should be read individually rather than merged into one identical account. Arphaxad’s conception soon after exit is a tentative gestational reconstruction; Genesis does not date it.
The earlier discussion also supplied two historical research pointers: 1290 days/years and their corresponding dates and the Jubilee/Exodus chart. They are retained as source-history links, not promoted into current canonical controls or newly certified tables.
Return to the main article, or consult the current canonical source index. The complete original wording, old table proposals and recovered covenant illustration remain in the complete original.
