856 + 707 + 527 = 2090Count backward from the Conquest:
1406 + 2090 = 3496 BC, Peleg’s cumulative beginning.
Full lifespans placed end to end. Ordinary MT Peleg remains 2357–2118 BC. These three groups are a reading aid; their cards are not scaled to duration.
Figure 2. The twelve MT lifespans from Peleg through Moses total 2090 years. Anchoring their conclusion at 1406 BC places Peleg’s cumulative beginning at 3496 BC. These are formal lifespan-stacking coordinates; his ordinary birth remains 2357 BC. The three groups make the addition visible and are not scaled to duration.Sources: File 18 §6A.

Show image versionThree groups of four MT lifespans total 2090 years. Peleg, Reu, Serug, and Nahor contribute 239 plus 239 plus 230 plus 148, or 856. Terah, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob contribute 205 plus 175 plus 180 plus 147, or 707. Levi, Kohath, Amram, and Moses contribute 137 plus 133 plus 137 plus 120, or 527. Counting backward from the Conquest at 1406 BC gives Peleg’s formal cumulative beginning at 3496 BC.
