The following is the dates of birth of the patriarch after creation:
| Years | After Creation | Patriarch | Years Before Christ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 0 | = Creation of | Adam | 4177 B.C. |
| Year 130 | = 0 + 130 | Seth | 4044 B.C. |
| Year 235 | = 130 + 105 | Enosh | 3939 B.C. |
| Year 325 | = 235 + 90 | Kenan | 3849 B.C. |
| Year 395 | = 325 + 70 | Mahalalel | 3779 B.C. |
| Year 460 | = 395 + 65 | Jared | 3714 B.C. |
| Year 622 | = 460 + 162 | Enoch | 3552 B.C. |
| Year 687 | = 622 + 65 | Methuselah | 3487 B.C. |
| Year 874 | = 687 + 187 | Lamech | 3300 B.C. |
| Year 1056 | = 874 + 182 | Noah | 3118 B.C. |
| Year 1558 | = 1056 + 502 | Shem | 3020 B.C. |
| Year 1656 | = 1056 + 600 | Flood | 2518 B.C. |
This is the Jewish year 5755 - That would be 4099 yrs (= 5755 - 1656) after flood according to this.
Since Noah was 600 years old at Flood (Gen. 7:6),
and Arpachshad was begotten 2 years after Flood (Gen. 11:10) and
in the 602 year of Noah (600 + 2 = 602),
and Shem was 100 when Arpachshad was begotten,
then Shem was born when Noah is 502: (602 - 100 = 502).

| Eber | at 34 | Peleg | + 430 = total 464 yrs (Gen. 11:16-17) |
| Peleg | at 30 | Reu | + 209 = total 239 yrs (Gen. 11:18-19) |
| Earth divided | and | Tower of Babel | during patriarch Peleg. (Gen. 10:25, 32) |
| Reu | at 32 | Serug | + 207 = total 239 yrs (Gen. 11:20-21) |
| Serug | at 30 | Nahor | + 200 = total 230 yrs (Gen. 11:22-23) |
| Nahor | at 29 | Terah | + 119 = total 148 yrs (Gen. 11:24-25) |
| Terah | at 70 | Abram, Nahor, Haran | (Gen. 11:26); total 205 yrs (Gen. 11:32) |
The following is the dates of birth of the patriarch after creation:
| Years | After Creation | Patriarch | Years Before Christ |
|---|---|---|---|
| Year 1658 | = 1558 + 100 = 1656 + 2 | Arpachshad | 2516 B.C. |
| Year 1693 | = 1658 + 35 | Shelah | 2481 B.C. |
| Year 1723 | = 1693 + 30 | Eber | 2451 B.C. |
| Year 1757 | = 1723 + 34 | Peleg | 2417 B.C. |
| Year 1787 | = 1757 + 30 | Reu | 2387 B.C. |
| Year 1819 | = 1787 + 32 | Serug | 2355 B.C. |
| Year 1849 | = 1819 + 30 | Nahor | 2325 B.C. |
| Year 1878 | = 1849 + 29 | Terah | 2296 B.C. |
| Year 1949 | = 1878 + 70 | Abram, Nahor, Haran | 2226 B.C. |
But if Terah died at 205 (Gen 11:32) and
Abram left Haran after Terah's death (Acts 7:4b) and
Abram was 75 at that time (Gen 12:4),
Then Terah must have been 130 when Abram was born??? (205-75=130)After flood 222 years to Terah: 222 = 1878 - 1656, and
either 70 or 130 more to Abraham: 222 + 130 = 352
1656 + 352 = 2008 yrs from Creation of Adam to birth of Abraham
2008 + 75 = 2083 years from Creation to promise to Abraham
