Generations – Adam to Abraham

Genesis 5 provides age and date information for Adam through Noah. Genesis 11 provides age and date information from Noah through Terah. To read about Abraham though, you will need to refer to Genesis 21 and 25.
This chart is color coded to show when they lived in relation to the flood. Orange represents people who lived prior the flood. Blue represents people who experienced the flood. And the individuals in green are the people who were born after the flood. As you can see, people had a much longer life spans prior to the flood. In addition, I began my timeline with year zero. Year zero represents the year that God created man. Each year out from zero is based on when that person lived in relation to creation, and is not based on dating system (meaning it does not relate to BC or AD).
Below is a table presenting reference information regarding how many years had gone by since God created man, how old each person was when they had their child who is listed next in the Biblical chronology, and how many years each person lived. It also provides scriptural references for the information provided.
