For additional time statement texts in the Bible, see:  Gen. 15:13;  Jud. 11:26;  Acts 13:20; Gal. 3:17 and Luke 3:36 who adds another generation (Cainan).  "Fifteen centuries after the sentence pronounced upon Cain, the universe witnessed the" flood.  PP:78.   "Three centuries had passed [from Jeroboam to Josiah]."  PK:402, 405.  "...for fifteen centuries [Moses to Christ]."  DA:291.  "For four hundred years [Moses to King Saul]."  PP:628.  The Hebrew verb used in Genesis chapters 5 and 11 translated "begot" is "wayyoled-et."  It is the verb most commonly used in the Bible to express the actual physical fathering of an offspring.  This verb indicates that Mosses was concerned with both time and accuracy in his genealogies.

Gen. 5:32 may be taken to indicate that the sons of Noah were triplets or that Shem (born when Noah was 500 years old) was the firstborn.  However, Gen. 9:24 tells us that Ham is the youngest, while Gen. 10:21 shows us that Japheth is the oldest.  Also a careful comparison of Gen. 7:6 and 11:10 shows that Shem was not the eldest.  He was 100 years old two years after the flood, which came when Noah was 600, making him 98 and Japheth 100 at the time of the flood.  Therefore he was born when Noah was 502 years old and is mentioned first because of his importance as the progenitor of the postdiluvian patriarchal line.

Gen. 11:26 implies that Terah was 70 years old when triplets were born.  However, Terah died in Haran at the age of 205 (Gen. 11:32).  Abram journeyed to Canaan from Haran (after Terah's death) at the age of 75 (Gen. 12:4) as explicitly stated in Acts 7:4.  Therefore Abram was 75 at Terah's death, making Terah 130 when Abram was born.  Terah only began to beget sons when he was 70.  Abram is mentioned first because of his importance as ancestor of the Hebrews.

Jacob was 130 years old when he went to Egypt (Gen. 47:9), and his son Joseph 39.  This is clear from the fact that Joseph was 30 when he entered the service of Pharaoh (Gen. 41:46), and 2 lean years had passed (Gen. 41:54; 45:6).  These 9 years must be added to the 30, making Joseph 39.  Jacob was consequently 91 years old when Joseph was born.

The interval between the call of Abram, at age 75, and the Exodus, was 430 years (Exo. 12:40-41).  The Exodus to Solomon was 480 years (1 Kin. 6:1).  Solomon reigned 40 years (1 Kin. 11:42) but "began to build the house of the Lord" "in the fourth year" (1 Kin. 6:1) of his reign.  Thus 36 years plus all the reigns of the kings of Judah ending with the FIRST exile is approximately 420 years.  Two years must be added to Nebuchadnezzar's 9th year (approximately, see 2 Kin. 25:1-2) to reach back to "the first company of exiles" (PK:607).  Since all Astronomers agree that Nebuchadnezzar's 37th regnal year is fixed, beyond doubt, at 568/567 BC, we add the 2 years and his 37 to find the first exile date of 607/606 BC.
