A Chronological IndEY

Of the Years and Times from Adam unto Christ, proved by the Scriptures, from the collation of divers Authors.

The sum of the years of the first age. FFor Adam being 150 years old, begat Seth.

ROM Adam unto Noah's flood are years 1656.

Seth, being 105 years, begat Enos.
Enos, being 90 years, begat Cainan.
Cainan, being 70 years, begat Mahalaleel.
Mahataleel, being 65 years, begat Jared.
Jared, at the age of 162, begat Enoch.
Enoch, being 65 years, begat Methuselah.
Methuselah, at the age of 197, begat Lamech.
Lamech, being 182 years, begat Noah.
Noah, at the coming of the flood, was 600 years
old, as appeareth in the 7th chapter of Genesis.
The whole sum of the years are 1656.

From the flood of Noah unto Abraham's departing from Chaldea, were 422 years and ten days. For the said flood continued one whole year and ten days.

Shem (who was Noah's son) begat Arphaxad two years after that.

Arphaxad begat Salah when he was 35 years old.
Salah, being 30 years old, begat Eber.

Eber, at the age of 34, begat Peleg.
Peleg, being 50 years, Legat Reu.

Reu, being 32 years, begat Serug.

Serug, being 30 years, begat Nahor.

Nahor, being 29 years, begat Terah.
Terah, being 130 years, begat Abram.

And Abraham departed from Chaldea when he was 70 years old.

These, accounted, are 422 years and 10 days.

From Abraham's departing from Ur in Chaldea, unto the departing of the children of Israel, are 450 years, gathered as followeth :

Abraham was in Charran five years, and departed | Elon, 10 years.

in the 75th year :

Begat Isaac when 100 years old, in the 25th year of his departing.

Isaac begat Jacob, when 60 years old.
Israel was in Egypt 220 years.

Then deduct 80 years from this; for so old was
Moses when he conducted the Israelites from
Egypt.

So the rest of the years, that is to say, 130, are divided between Amram and Kohath. Then Kohath begat Amram at the age of 67 years. Airam, being 65 years, begat Moses, who, in the 80th year of his age, departed with the Israel. ites from Egypt.

So this chronology is the 430 years mentioned in the 12th chapter of Exodus, and the 8d chapter to the Galatians.

From the going forth of the Israelites from Egypt, unto the firs building of the temple, are 480 years. after this chronology and account. Moses remained in the desert or wilderness 40 years.

Joshua and Othniel ruled 40 years.
