Notes:
1. The MT states the Israelites were in Egypt for 430 years (1876-1446 BC), excluding time in Canaan or Haran. The LXX and SP include time in Canaan, reducing the timeline by 215 years for all dates from Adam to Israel’s entry into Egypt (1661-1446 BC). (Conversely, see 2Esdras article that apparently has 215 years in Egypt, like the SP and LXX, but uses the MT for all else.)
2. All dates from Adam to Terah can be extended by 60 years due to the claim that Terah died the year Abraham left Haran and Ur (Acts 7).

Septuagint Text-“LXX”

Smith corrected the Flood chronology based on a superior textual variant, aligning it with common sense: Methuselah could not have died six years after the Flood. Smith also suggests several changes to patriarchal lifespans. However, only the variant for Arphaxad having “330” remaining years (like his son and grandson) is preferred. See note for details.

LXX Chronology is partly based on Smith Jr., H.B. (2018). The case for the Septuagint’s chronology in Genesis 5 and 11. Proceedings of the Eighth International Conference on Creationism, ed. J.H. Whitmore, pp. 117–132. Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania: Creation Science Fellowship.

Pertinent to our below table is the following note from the above article:

  1. An explanation for the discrepancies between the MT (182, 595,
    777) and LXX (188, 565, 753) for Lamech is complex. Lamech’s
    LXX numbers likely arose in the original Greek translation from an
    inadvertent error while the translator was reading the Hebrew text,
    immediately followed by a two–stage and deliberate emendation
    to correct the chronological matrix. The MT’s readings are original
    and are externally affirmed by LAB and Josephus.

Using “182 years” instead of 188 corrects Methuselah’s death six years after the Flood — an obvious error.

Accepting the lifespans as a schematic—a theological framework for the narrative—helps discern the content of the original manuscripts with high fidelity. Comparative analysis suggests that the typical LXX text requires almost no variant amendments. A few examples of this fractal-like framework include:

  • The sum of all 26 patriarchs’ lifespans in the MT totals 12600 years, a symbolic number (half of 70 years of 360 days/years; Dan. 9, 12; Rev. 11-13). “12600” is ten times 1260.
    • The Book of Enoch equates 1260 (‘360’ x 3.5) with 1274 (‘364’ x 3.5), treating the four extra days as intercalary. Thus, 12600 = 12740 = 490 x 26, representing one 490-year cycle for each of the 26 patriarchs from Adam to Moses, similar to Enoch’s schematic (Enoch 93:9-14; cf., Dan. 9).
  • Adam’s ‘birth’: The LXX totals 11000, 11500, 12600, 12740, and 12900 years from Creation/Adam to the births of Noah, Shem, Terah, Abram/Sarah, and Jacob, respectively. Each patriarch marks a new narrative phase introduced by “These are the generations of…”
    • The 11000 years to Noah is significant as 1100 years separate Noah and Shem’s deaths.
    • The 11500 to Shem aligns with Daniel 8. Similarly, the MT records 1150 years from Shem’s birth to the conquest in 1406 BC, marking Moses’ death.
    • The 12900 to Jacob aligns with the network of seven-year periods in his life, born in 2006 BC (12900 – 3.5 years from Creation, Dan. 12). This parallels the MT’s 12600 and 12603.5 years to Aaron and Moses, born 3.5 years apart.
      • 13370 years to Moses’ birth closely approximates ten times the 1335 of Dan. 12.
  • Adam’s death (LXX) likewise marks the start of several significant timeframes:
    • 12600 to Joshua’s death.
    • 13000 to David’s death, 971-964 BC, and Solomon’s temple (SP is 11500 to 973-966 & Reg., 2300 to 970).
    • 12960 (half trad. Precession of Stars) to Saul’s death and the 7-yr transition from Hebron to Jerusalem as the capital, 1011t-1004(3) BC, marking David’s two coronations.
    • 14000 from Adam’s death to Christ’s death (30 to 37 AD)–double the symbolic 7000 years, with AD 33 the middle of the final seven years, Dan. 9:24-27.
    • 14000 from Adam’s ‘birth’ to Christ’s birth in the MT–precisely 40 years earlier than the LXX’s endpoint, encompassing “His generation” (Isa. 53:8).
      • “1000 years is as a day” = 14 days = Passover death, Nisan 14th, “As for His generation, who considered that He was cut off” Isa. 53:8; cf., Matt. 1:17.
  • Enoch 6:6-8 records 180 fallen angels with 20 chiefs = 200. Enoch and his Calendar emphasize the number seven, implying a 70-year generation. Thus, Enoch, “7th from Adam,” ascends after “70 x 7” years (Dan. 9).
    • 180 angels x 70 years = 12600; plus 20 chiefs x 70 = 1400, totaling 14000 years.
    • MT: 14006 – 12600 = 1406 BC (Joshua defeats giants, offspring of angels); 1406 – 1400 = 6 BC, a total of 14000.
    • LXX repeats this pattern from Adam’s death to Joshua’s death to Jesus’ death.
      • SP instead has 12600 to 128-135 AD, Bar Kokhba Revolt (Judaea renamed Palestine), undoing Joshua and David’s work, indicating the Nephilim resurgence described in the Book of Revelation–mirroring the past.
  • Exodus from Egypt: (LXX) 4900 and 4300 years Cumulative from Shem’s birth and Flood to the Exodus–10x the 490 of Dan. 9 and 10x the “430 years” in Egypt (Ex. 12:40-41; Ezek. 4).
  • Exodus from Babylon: (MT) 4900 and 4300 from Shem’s birth and Flood to 538/536 BC–marking the 2nd Exodus (from Babylon), also when Dan. 9-12 was revealed.
    • LXX ‘4900’ is halved: From Shem’s birth and the Flood to the Reg. LXX birth of Noah and the Flood spans 2450 years, or 50 jubilees of 49 years, from 5748 to 3298 BC (cf. Bk of Jub.’ chronology).
    • By comparison, the MT Cum. Flood is 70 x 7 x 7 years to the 7-year conquest of 1406-1399 BC (and 7 x 7 x 7 x 7 to Abraham, who lived 5 x 5 x 7 years).
      • Similar cycles of 49 are found throughout the MT, combining 5 x 5 with 7 x 7 x 7 in various ways.
    • SP Cum. Creation to SP Reg. Flood dates are 10290 years (3 x 70 x 7 x 7), with the span from Abraham to the Conquest one-tenth of 10290 in SP, MT, and LXX.
  • Key of 23 (‘230‘ Cum.) Cf., ‘2300’ Dan. 8.
    • LXX, MT, SP (& Bk. Jub.): 1656 years (23 x 72) to Noah’s birth, Flood, and death, respectively.
    • Creation: MT Cum. to MT Reg. spans 23 x 430 years.
    • LXX Reg. to MT Reg. spans 23 x 60 (1380) or 1440 (360 x 4) with ‘Terah +60.’
  • Noah/Shem/Flood:
    MT Reg.: Shem’s birth, 23 x 50 to Conquest (Flood to Exodus, 23 x 44)
    • SP Cum.: Shem’s birth (Noah’s death), 23 x 170 to Conquest
      • Flood: MT Cum. to LXX in Mirror = 23 x 460 (23 x 23 x 20)
      • SP Reg.: Noah’s birth, 23 x 100 to Conquest
      • SP Reg: Flood, 23 x 74 to Conquest
        • Jarod dies at Flood, age ‘847’– 23 x 5 years less than ‘962’ of MT/LXX
  • Jared, father of Enoch, is associated with fallen Watcher Angels (Enoch 6:6):
    • MT/SP: born 460 yrs from Adam (23 x 20)
      • MT: born 23 x 96 to Exodus, 1446 BC
        • MT Cum. 23 x 350 to Conquest
      • LXX: born 23 x 136 to Conquest, 1406 BC
      • LXX: 23 x 250, Cum. to Reg. births
        • 23 x 200 Cum. Jarod to Flood

Conclusion: The MT, LXX, and SP chronologies, like the four Gospels, offer a unified narrative from interconnected perspectives. Each provides unique insights while complementing the others, creating a rich tapestry of biblical time. The Books of Enoch, Jubilees, and Luke’s genealogy add a fourth, unconventional, idealized layer. Together, these traditions, with their interwoven fractal-like patterns, deepen our appreciation of biblical history and its theological significance. This entire interaction nests seamlessly within the long spans of the Sumerian Kings List and Berossus List, though this is beyond the current scope of study.

Notes:
Masoretic Text (MT):
States the Israelites were in Egypt for 430 years (1876-1446 BC), excluding time in Canaan. (Conversely, see 2Esdras article that apparently has “430 years in Egypt, like the MT, but follows the LXX in all else.)
Samaritan Pentateuch (SP):
Includes time in Canaan, potentially reducing the timeline 215 years for all dates from Adam to Israel’s entry into Egypt (1661-1446 BC).
Exodus 12:40 (SP): “Now the sojourning of the children of Israel and fathers of them, who dwelt in Canaan and in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.”
Septuagint (LXX):
Appears similar: “And the sojourning of the children of Israel, while they sojourned in the land of Egypt and the land of Chanaan, was four hundred and thirty years.”
Lacks the words “and their fathers,” implying Jacob and his offspring’s stay in Canaan and Egypt.
Suggests Jacob left Haran for Canaan in 1876 BC and then moved to Egypt 33 years later, in 1843 BC.
This potentially reduces the dates from Adam to the entry into Egypt by 33 years. Internal numeric evidence suggests this adjustment should not be applied beyond Abraham.
2. All dates from Adam to Terah can be extended by 60 years due to the claim that Terah died the year Abraham left Haran and Ur (Acts 7).

Samaritan Pentateuch Text-“SP”

(“430 years in Egypt,” the same as the MT. See notes.)

Comparative analysis with the MT, LXX, and the Book of Jubilees suggests that the SP integrates Genesis 7:11 (& 8:13) “in the 600th year of Noah” and 7:6 “600 years” for the Flood’s start, creating a one-year gap akin to the “480th year from Exodus” (1 Kings 6:1) for Solomon’s temple construction (967 or 966 BC, inclusive/exclusive). Everyone born after Enoch died in the Flood (SP).

Enoch lived 365 years, but the Book of Jubilees emphasizes that a year for Enoch was 364 days, so 365 years of 364 days amount to 364 years. (The Book of Enoch tackles the issue another way, by having Enoch remain “one year” before returning to heaven!) Thus, at this juncture, the optional year can be dropped. Therefore, Enoch’s son was born when he was 65 or in his 65th year. This means that from the birth of Enoch to the Flood spans 16 jubilees, which is 28 squared, and from his ascension to the Flood and to the death of Noah spans 420 and 770 years, and to Shem’s death, 460 + 460 years. Moreover, the Book of Jubilees states Adam’s death occurred in his 930th year, rather than 930 years of age, which is when Cain died, according to the Book of Jubilees. Clearly, a fudging of one year is intended.

For the sake of simplicity, the table uses ‘normal’ reckoning.

Genesis 11:26, 32: “After Terah had lived 70 years, he became the father of Abram, Nahor, and Haran.” “Terah lived 205 years, and he died in Harran.” (Reads “145” in SP.)

The SP records Terah’s age as 145 instead of 205 (as in the MT and LXX), indicating that Terah died at Abraham’s call, consistent with Acts 7:4. Just as the LXX makes Terah 130 at Abraham’s birth instead of the symbolic “70” so that Terah dies at Abraham’s call, the SP does the same. Terah was actually 205 when he died but symbolically “145” when Abraham replaced Nahor, the firstborn. Thus, Terah had his firstborn at 70 (with Abraham counted as the firstborn), but Abraham was literally born 60 years after his firstborn brother when Terah was 130 (70 + 60 = 130).

See the birth of “Shem, Ham, and Japheth” for a similar displacement of name order: “After Noah was 500 years old, he became the father of Shem, Ham, and Japheth,” Genesis 5:32; cf., Cain, Abel, and Seth. Therefore, like the LXX, the SP includes an extra 60 years. Otherwise, subtract 60 years from Adam to Terah’s birth. For example, Creation is 4475/4474 BC; with 60 years less, it is 4415/4414 BC.

Notes:
1. The MT states the Israelites were in Egypt for 430 years (1876-1446 BC), excluding time in Canaan or Haran. The SP includes time in Canaan, reducing the timeline by 215 years for all dates from Adam to Israel’s entry into Egypt (1661-1446 BC).

2. For Terah’s +60, see the discussion at the start of the table.

Below is the SP again, but this time, it is contracted by the said “215 years”.

Lacks the words “and their fathers,” implying Jacob and his offspring’s stay in Canaan and Egypt.
Suggests Jacob left Haran for Canaan in 1876 BC and then moved to Egypt 33 years later, in 1843 BC.
This potentially reduces the dates from Adam to the entry into Egypt by 33 years. Internal numeric evidence suggests this optional adjustment should not be applied beyond Abraham.

Also, see the inclusive reckoning option for Noah’s Flood in the note preface to the previous chart, which thereby aligns 4206-4199 BC to 1406-1399 BC by an even 70 generations of 40 years.

We do not include Terah’s +60 as in the previous table, which is optional.
