Patriarchal Chronology

Category

Because of the changes made to the lengths of the Patriarchs' lifetimes, a great latitude must be given with regards to chronology in this chart. The Masoretes made changes to the Holy Scriptures sometime after the Crucifixion, but before about 300 A.D. Ephrem the Syrian testified to this and accused the" Jews" of subtracting at least 600 years from the text in order to deny that Yahshua was the Messiah who had come at the appointed time.

 

Total Discrepancy: 1486 Years

Further Evidence: When Terah died at 205, Abraham (not his firstborn) was only 75, so Terah must have been 130 when Abraham was born. Gen. 11:26, 27, 32; 12:4.
