The present article is an outline guide to the persons and events in the Bible arranged according to chronological indications in the text of the Bible.
The Bible contains a collection of religious texts that are central to Judaism and Christianity. [1] Modern Judaism generally recognizes a single set of canonical books known as the Tanakh, or Hebrew Bible, as it is written almost entirely in the Hebrew language, with some small portions in Aramaic. [2] [3] It is traditionally divided into three parts: the Torah ("teaching" or "law"), the Nevi'im ("prophets"), and the Ketuvim ("writings"). Christianity recognises as canonical the books of the Tanakh, in a different order, as the Old Testament. In Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, additional books, called the Deuterocanonical, are included, which Protestantism regards as apocryphal. All Christians also recognise the New Testament, a collection of early Christian writings that consists of the Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles, and the Apocalypse. There exist New Testament apocrypha which have not been generally recognised. See Books of the Bible.

120 years? | YHWH declares that 'this they begin to do and now nothing they have imagined will be withheld from them' & 'man's days shall be 120 years' |
YHWH sees that the whole world is spoiled ( שָׁחַת) & violent & tells Noah [¶ 4] that he is going to bring an overflow [¶ 5] ( מַבּוּל) of waters upon the earth. | |
Noah (500 yrs old?) builds Barge (300*50*30 cubits) with upper, lower, and middle stories [¶ 6] | |
on 2-10? | Noah enters the ark ( תֵּבָה) (Septuagint says 2-27) |
on 2-17 | 40 days of rain begins (Septuagint says 2-27) |
on 3-27? | rain ends. |
150 days | water overflows earth for 150 days. (from 2-17 or 3-27?) |
???? | Wind ( ר֙וּחַ) begins to blow back the waters |
150 days | waters recede for 150 days (same 150 or next 150 or overlapping 150?) |
on 7-15 | ark comes to rest upon (wrecks upon?) Mount Ararat אֲרָרָֽט |
on 10-1 | the tops of the mountains are seen |
on 40th day | opened window & sends out raven & dove. |
on 47th day | sends out dove: returns with Olive branch. |
on 54th day | sends out dove: never returns |
on 1-1 | removed covering of the ark: ground was dry |
on 2-27 | earth completely dry |
???? | Noah builds altar and sacrifices animals on it. YHWH makes covenant with him |
each date can be absolute or can measure from Noah's 600th birthday or from some other event within the flood itself (like the 40 days)
Egyptian calendar:
1
Week = 10 days
1 month = 3 Weeks = 30 days
1 year = 12 months + 5 days
Enoch calendar:
1 Week = 7 days
1 month = 30 days
1 season = 3 months + 1 day = 13 weeks = 91 days
1 year = 4 seasons = 364 days
the following math is relevant and may be helpful to understanding the flood chronology but should not be taken to imply an endorsement of any one interpretation over any other:
150 days ≅ 1.5 seasons = 4.5 months
2-15 + 150 days = 7-15
150 days + 150 days = 10 months
2-15 + 7-15 = 10-1
1-1 + 40 + 7 + 7 = 2-25

From Genealogies of Genesis: The following table lists the patriarchs that appear in the Vulgate and the Septuagint, but their names are spelled as they appear in the King James Version of the Bible. Their year of birth differs according to the Vulgate or the Septuagint. (AM = Anno Mundi = in the year of the world). Also given is each patriarch's age at the birth of his named son and the age of the patriarch's death. Cainan, born after the flood is mentioned in the Septuagint but not the Vulgate. Methuselah survived the Flood according to the Septuagint (but not the Vulgate), even though he was not on Noah's Ark.
Nearly all modern translations of Genesis are derived from the Masoretic (Hebrew) Text. But there are also two other versions of Genesis: the Samaritan (in an early Hebrew script) and the Septuagint (a Greek translation of an early Hebrew text). Although, scholars are aware that these three versions of
genesis
5
have different numbers, people who have seen only the commonly available translations are often unaware that other versions exist. The numbers in the Masoretic, Samaritan, and Lucianic Septuagint versions of Genesis 5 are shown in this table: [148]

¹According to most interpretations, including the New Testament Epistle to the Hebrews, Enoch did not die, [149] but was taken away by God (at an age of 365). Genesis states that Enoch "walked with God; and he was not; for God took him." [150]
From Generations of Adam:
Form critics consider the two lines as corruptions of one tradition. Both the similarities and the differences between lines are significant and do not admit simple explanation. Still, there is a general consensus that the Cainite list was from the Jahwist source, while the Sethite was added in from the Priestly source. [151] [152] [153] [154]
The Sethite genealogy may also be connected to the Sumerian King List. [151] [152] [153] [155] Evidence for this include the solar symbolism of the seventh figure on each list (the Sumerian king Enmeduranna sharing his name with the city where worship of the sun god was focused, Enoch living 365 years). [151] Like Enoch, Enmeduranna's advisor Utuabzu ascended to heaven. [155] Fritz Hommel further argued that Amelon was Enosh (both third in the list with names meaning "mankind"), that Ammenon was Cainan/Cain (both fourth and connected to craftsmanship), and so on; noting that the tenth in each line was a hero who survived a world flood. Still, this position is argued against due to linguistic incompatibilities in half the names. [152] Similarities between Irad and Eridu have also been pointed out. [156] Thomas Kelly Cheyne argued that the two genealogies may also be connected to a North Arabian genealogy, one reproducing the other. Cheyne claimed that Mahalalel was a corruption of Jerahmeel, and Methuselah was a corruption of Ishmael. [153] Cheyne's theories are now rejected, however. [157]
The following table displays the most common line of comparison between the Sethite and Cainite lines (which reverses much of the Cainite list), [151] [153] [154] [158] as well as North Arabian genealogy (per Cheyne), [153] and the Sumerian king list. [155]

Solomon began building the temple 480 years after the Exodus 1_kings 6 ˄. 410 years are accounted for in the book of judges. This would seem to leave 70 years to account for the wandering in the desert (40 years), Joshua's life after the conquest (unknown), and the reigns of Shamgar (unknown), Eli (40 years), Philistines (20 years), Samuel (unknown), David (40 years), and the 4 years that Solomon ruled before beginning to build the Temple.

Edwin R. Thiele in
The Mysterious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings (1951)
[311] concluded that two different methods for counting the years of a king's reign were used at different times and places. In the accession method, the year in which a king ascended to the throne was called his accession year, and the following year was the first year of that king's reign. In the non-accession method, the year of a king's accession is simply counted as the first year of his reign. According to Thiele, the Kingdom of Israel appears to have used the non-accession year method for counting years, while the Kingdom of Judah used the accession method until
Athaliah seized power in Judah, when Israel's non-accession method appears to have been adopted in Judah.
In addition, Thiele also concluded that Israel counted years using the ecclesiastical new year starting in the spring month of
Nisan, while Judah counted years using the civil year starting in the autumn month of
Tishrei.

The present article is an outline guide to the persons and events in the Bible arranged according to chronological indications in the text of the Bible.
The Bible contains a collection of religious texts that are central to Judaism and Christianity. [1] Modern Judaism generally recognizes a single set of canonical books known as the Tanakh, or Hebrew Bible, as it is written almost entirely in the Hebrew language, with some small portions in Aramaic. [2] [3] It is traditionally divided into three parts: the Torah ("teaching" or "law"), the Nevi'im ("prophets"), and the Ketuvim ("writings"). Christianity recognises as canonical the books of the Tanakh, in a different order, as the Old Testament. In Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy, additional books, called the Deuterocanonical, are included, which Protestantism regards as apocryphal. All Christians also recognise the New Testament, a collection of early Christian writings that consists of the Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles, and the Apocalypse. There exist New Testament apocrypha which have not been generally recognised. See Books of the Bible.

120 years? | YHWH declares that 'this they begin to do and now nothing they have imagined will be withheld from them' & 'man's days shall be 120 years' |
YHWH sees that the whole world is spoiled ( שָׁחַת) & violent & tells Noah [¶ 4] that he is going to bring an overflow [¶ 5] ( מַבּוּל) of waters upon the earth. | |
Noah (500 yrs old?) builds Barge (300*50*30 cubits) with upper, lower, and middle stories [¶ 6] | |
on 2-10? | Noah enters the ark ( תֵּבָה) (Septuagint says 2-27) |
on 2-17 | 40 days of rain begins (Septuagint says 2-27) |
on 3-27? | rain ends. |
150 days | water overflows earth for 150 days. (from 2-17 or 3-27?) |
???? | Wind ( ר֙וּחַ) begins to blow back the waters |
150 days | waters recede for 150 days (same 150 or next 150 or overlapping 150?) |
on 7-15 | ark comes to rest upon (wrecks upon?) Mount Ararat אֲרָרָֽט |

on 40th day | opened window & sends out raven & dove. |

???? | Noah builds altar and sacrifices animals on it. YHWH makes covenant with him |
each date can be absolute or can measure from Noah's 600th birthday or from some other event within the flood itself (like the 40 days)
Egyptian calendar:
1
Week = 10 days
1 month = 3 Weeks = 30 days
1 year = 12 months + 5 days
Enoch calendar:
1 Week = 7 days
1 month = 30 days
1 season = 3 months + 1 day = 13 weeks = 91 days
1 year = 4 seasons = 364 days
the following math is relevant and may be helpful to understanding the flood chronology but should not be taken to imply an endorsement of any one interpretation over any other:
150 days ≅ 1.5 seasons = 4.5 months
2-15 + 150 days = 7-15
150 days + 150 days = 10 months
2-15 + 7-15 = 10-1
1-1 + 40 + 7 + 7 = 2-25

From Genealogies of Genesis: The following table lists the patriarchs that appear in the Vulgate and the Septuagint, but their names are spelled as they appear in the King James Version of the Bible. Their year of birth differs according to the Vulgate or the Septuagint. (AM = Anno Mundi = in the year of the world). Also given is each patriarch's age at the birth of his named son and the age of the patriarch's death. Cainan, born after the flood is mentioned in the Septuagint but not the Vulgate. Methuselah survived the Flood according to the Septuagint (but not the Vulgate), even though he was not on Noah's Ark.
Nearly all modern translations of Genesis are derived from the Masoretic (Hebrew) Text. But there are also two other versions of Genesis: the Samaritan (in an early Hebrew script) and the Septuagint (a Greek translation of an early Hebrew text). Although, scholars are aware that these three versions of
genesis
5
have different numbers, people who have seen only the commonly available translations are often unaware that other versions exist. The numbers in the Masoretic, Samaritan, and Lucianic Septuagint versions of Genesis 5 are shown in this table: [148]

¹According to most interpretations, including the New Testament Epistle to the Hebrews, Enoch did not die, [149] but was taken away by God (at an age of 365). Genesis states that Enoch "walked with God; and he was not; for God took him." [150]
From Generations of Adam:
Form critics consider the two lines as corruptions of one tradition. Both the similarities and the differences between lines are significant and do not admit simple explanation. Still, there is a general consensus that the Cainite list was from the Jahwist source, while the Sethite was added in from the Priestly source. [151] [152] [153] [154]
The Sethite genealogy may also be connected to the Sumerian King List. [151] [152] [153] [155] Evidence for this include the solar symbolism of the seventh figure on each list (the Sumerian king Enmeduranna sharing his name with the city where worship of the sun god was focused, Enoch living 365 years). [151] Like Enoch, Enmeduranna's advisor Utuabzu ascended to heaven. [155] Fritz Hommel further argued that Amelon was Enosh (both third in the list with names meaning "mankind"), that Ammenon was Cainan/Cain (both fourth and connected to craftsmanship), and so on; noting that the tenth in each line was a hero who survived a world flood. Still, this position is argued against due to linguistic incompatibilities in half the names. [152] Similarities between Irad and Eridu have also been pointed out. [156] Thomas Kelly Cheyne argued that the two genealogies may also be connected to a North Arabian genealogy, one reproducing the other. Cheyne claimed that Mahalalel was a corruption of Jerahmeel, and Methuselah was a corruption of Ishmael. [153] Cheyne's theories are now rejected, however. [157]
The following table displays the most common line of comparison between the Sethite and Cainite lines (which reverses much of the Cainite list), [151] [153] [154] [158] as well as North Arabian genealogy (per Cheyne), [153] and the Sumerian king list. [155]

Solomon began building the temple 480 years after the Exodus 1_kings 6 ˄. 410 years are accounted for in the book of judges. This would seem to leave 70 years to account for the wandering in the desert (40 years), Joshua's life after the conquest (unknown), and the reigns of Shamgar (unknown), Eli (40 years), Philistines (20 years), Samuel (unknown), David (40 years), and the 4 years that Solomon ruled before beginning to build the Temple.

Edwin R. Thiele in
The Mysterious Numbers of the Hebrew Kings (1951)
[311] concluded that two different methods for counting the years of a king's reign were used at different times and places. In the accession method, the year in which a king ascended to the throne was called his accession year, and the following year was the first year of that king's reign. In the non-accession method, the year of a king's accession is simply counted as the first year of his reign. According to Thiele, the Kingdom of Israel appears to have used the non-accession year method for counting years, while the Kingdom of Judah used the accession method until
Athaliah seized power in Judah, when Israel's non-accession method appears to have been adopted in Judah.
In addition, Thiele also concluded that Israel counted years using the ecclesiastical new year starting in the spring month of
Nisan, while Judah counted years using the civil year starting in the autumn month of
Tishrei.
The years in columns 2-4 are given for convenience only. No claim as to their historical accuracy is in any way implied. They should be regarded as a rough estimate at best.
