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).
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).
Biblical Cumulative Lifespans (‘Long’) Chronologies
Comparing the Masoretic Text (MT), Samaritan Pentateuch (SP), and Septuagint (LXX)
The ‘Long’ or ‘Cumulative’ method (two terms for the same approach) extends the timeline by adding the lifespans of each patriarch, from Adam to Moses, end-to-end. This approach differs from the traditional method, which marks the birth of each subsequent son to calculate the chronology.
This alternative method provides a broader interpretive framework for understanding the genealogical data in Genesis 5 and 11. Comparing this against the regular method evinces patterns reliant on one another, revealing a sophisticated interaction between the two chronologies. These interconnected numeric patterns suggest deliberate theological messaging, underscoring the significance of cumulative chronologies in biblical scholarship. However, their study has been limited, often due to skepticism about schematic designs in ancient texts or doubts about the sophisticated mathematical capabilities of ancient scribes.
Note: Dates are calculated backward from a fixed point, accumulating lifespans. The three-year spans reflect the difference between tracing the lineage through Moses or his older brother Aaron, both descendants of Levi (Exodus 6:16-20). This three-year difference extends back to Adam.
The seven-year ‘Full Span’ incorporates this three-year span and adds a ±2 year range. This additional range is derived from textual details surrounding Shem’s age at the Flood and the birth of Arphaxad (Genesis 11:10). It reflects the implied age differences among Noah’s sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth (Genesis 5:32, 9:24, 10:21).
The textual ambiguity appears intentional, creating a seven-year span that echoes the seven days of Creation (Genesis 1-2:3). This provides a symbolic framework of seven-year periods.
MT Cumulative (‘Long’) Chronology Table
Dates marked with an asterisk (*) represent the cumulative lifespans from Adam to the births of Aaron and Moses. Aaron and Moses were born 3 (or 3.5) years apart.
Patriarch | 3-yr gap of Aaron/Moses (BC) | 7-yr Span forwarded | Lifespan (years) |
---|---|---|---|
Adam | *14009 – 14006 | 14011 – 14004 | 930 |
Seth | *13079 – 13076 | 13081 – 13074 | 912 |
Enos | *12167 – 12164 | 12169 – 12162 | 905 |
Kenan | *11262 – 11259 | 11264 – 11257 | 910 |

Nahor | *2791 – 2788 | 2793 – 2786 | 148 |
Terah | *2643 – 2640 | 2645 – 2638 | 205 |
Abraham | *2438 – 2435 | 2440 – 2433 | 175 |
Isaac | *2263 – 2260 | 2265 – 2258 | 180 |
Jacob | *2083 – 2080 | 2085 – 2078 | 147 |
Levi | *1936 – 1933 | 1938 – 1931 | 137 |
Kohath | *1799 – 1796 | 1801 – 1794 | 133 |
Amram | *1666 – 1663 | 1668 – 1661 | 137 |
Aaron/Moses | *1530/1526 | 1531/1524 | 123.5/120 |
Death: Aaron/Moses | *1407/1406 | 1411 – 1404 | (Exodus *1446) |
Joshua begins a new line | 1296 | 1521 – 1404 | 110 |
Notes:
1. The seven-year column is the result of the 3-year gap between Aaron and Moses, with the ±2 years due to the 2-year anomaly at Shem (2+3+2=7).
2. Aaron and Moses are brothers. Aaron is 3.5 years older than Moses.
3. The Exodus marks the birth of Israel as a nation in 1446 BC.
4. The SP “120 yrs to the Flood” precisely aligns with the MT Flood (MT Flood: 4836-4829 to SP Flood: 4716-4709 BC), Gen. 6:3. Overlaying Shem’s 600 years in both chronologies reveals spans of 360 and 360 + 360, implying intentional design. Hence, the 120 may safely be included in chronologies, although omitted here. In the MT, the “120 yrs to the Flood” is precisely 70 x 7 x 7 yrs (3430 yrs) before Moses’ 120-yr lifespan, suggesting design based on 70 jubilees of 49 yrs, correlating with the LXX’s 4900 yrs from Shem to the Exodus.

Exodus: Symbolic Day-Year “Dates” Derived from Events at the Exodus
The below chart was posted on the internet about 25 years ago (about AD 2000) and can be found at this link: https://www.1260-1290-days-bible-prophecy.org/1290-days-years-equals_dates-bible-prophecy.htm
The detailed chart is found at this link, where it is properly formatted (Ignore the Lunar Cal. Equivalents of the 360-Calendar Day Counts in these detailed charts at this link — it is there for comparison only.)

Each Day Equals A Consecutive Year/Date of Time
Examples of the 430-day cycles encoded within the dates
given by the prophet Ezekiel using symbolic day-years
The following is based upon the principle that “a day can equal a year.” In this adaptation of this well-known principle, the New Year at the time of the Exodus (Spring of 1446 BC, Nisan/Abib 1st) — this day corresponds to, symbolically speaking, AD 1, and therefore the next day, Nisan 2nd, as AD 2, and so forth. This very simple but powerful truth unlocks much of the mystery of Bible numbers on the smaller scale of things but interacts with the much larger timeframes of the bible that span through the ages. This adaptation of the common day-year principle is discussed at length in the following document: “Each day equals a consecutive year/date of time.” (Note: The Israelites began counting their years from the New Year of the Exodus in the same way that today we count from the birth of Christ as from AD 1, cf., Ex. 12:2; 1Kings 6:1.)
Solomon’s Symbolic and Literal Temple Dates
Datum Type | Solomon’s Datum | Temple Date | Temple Start (Symbolic) | Temple End (Symbolic) |
---|---|---|---|---|
Temple (Tishri) | Tishri 966 BC | Ziv 966 BC | 156-149 BC | AD 2575-2582 |
Temple (Nisan) | Nisan 966 BC | Ziv 966 BC | AD 25-32 | AD 2755-2762 |
Solomon (Nisan) | Nisan 970 BC | Ziv 967 BC | AD 1135-1142 | AD 3865-3872 |
Solomon (Tishri) | Tishri 970 BC | Ziv 966 BC | AD 1315-1322 | AD 4045-4052 |
Solomon (Nisan) | Nisan 970 BC | Spring 966 BC | AD 1495-1502 | AD 4225-4232 |
Notes:
- Temple End dates are calculated by adding 2730 days of years to the start date, representing 7.5 years of construction.
- Ziv is the second month in the Hebrew calendar (April-May).
- Temple Datums (first two rows) show different New Year starting points for the same temple construction date.
- Solomon’s Reign datums (last three rows) demonstrate how different interpretations of Solomon’s accession affect the symbolic chronology.
- Symbolic dates span from BC to AD, illustrating the expansive nature of this chronological system.
Brief Description:
This chart represents various symbolic chronologies for Solomon’s Temple based on different calendar systems and starting points. Each row shows how the symbolic dates for the temple’s construction change depending on the chosen datum:
- Temple (Tishri): Uses the fall New Year for the temple, resulting in the earliest symbolic dates.
- Temple (Nisan): Uses the spring New Year for the temple, shifting symbolic dates slightly later.
- Solomon (Nisan 970 BC): Based on Solomon’s reign starting in spring 970 BC, with temple construction in 967 BC.
- Solomon (Tishri 970 BC): Adjusts Solomon’s reign to a fall 970 BC start, with temple construction beginning in Ziv (spring) 966 BC. This interpretation maintains consistency with 1 Kings 6:1, which states that temple construction began in the “fourth year” of Solomon’s reign. By using a Tishri-to-Tishri regnal year, the period from Tishri 970 BC to Ziv 966 BC is counted as the fourth year, aligning with the biblical text while adjusting for a fall calendar start.
- Solomon (Nisan 970 BC to Spring 966 BC): An alternative interpretation that produces the latest symbolic dates.
Chart shows significant days around the time of the Exodus
In order to separate whole days from part days, numbers with a ‘+’ sign are days that have just ended with the next day just begun. Hence, one minute before New Year’s Day is “Day 0,” but one minute after is “Day 0+”, which is the same as “Day 1.”
