while Chronology is the arrangement of facts and events in the order of time .
The writers of the Bible themselves do not adopt any standard era according to which they date events .
Sometimes the years are reckoned ,
e .
g .,
from the time of the Exodus (
Num .
1 :
1 ;
33 :
38 ;
1 Kings 6 :
1 ),
and sometimes from the accession of kings (
1 Kings 15 :
1 ,
9 ,
25 ,
33 ,
etc .),
and sometimes again from the return from Exile (
Ezra 3 :
8 ).
Hence in constructing a system of Biblecal chronology ,
the plan has been adopted of reckoning the years from the ages of the patriarchs before the birth of their first -
born sons for the period from the Creation to Abraham .
After this period other data are to be taken into account in determining the relative sequence of events .
As to the patriarchal period ,
there are three principal systems of chronology : (
1 )
that of the Hebrew text , (
2 )
that of the Septuagint version ,
and (
3 )
that of the Samaritan Pentateuch ,
as seen in the scheme on the opposite page .
The Samaritan and the Septuagint have considerably modified the Hebrew chronology .
This modification some regard as having been wilfully made ,
and to be rejected .
The same system of variations is observed in the chronology of the period between the Flood and Abraham .
Thus :
|
Hebrew Septuigant Samaritan |
From the birth of |
Arphaxad ,
2 years |
after the Flood ,
to |
the birth of Terah .
220 1000 870 |
From the birth of |
Terah to the birth |
of Abraham .
130 70 72 The Septuagint fixes on seventy years as the age of Terah at the birth of Abraham ,
from Gen .
11 :
26 ;
but a comparison of Gen .
11 :
32 and Acts 7 :
4 with Gen .
12 :
4 shows that when Terah died ,
at the age of two hundred and five years ,
Abraham was seventy -
five years ,
and hence Terah must have been one hundred and thirty years when Abraham was born .
Thus ,
including the two years from the Flood to the birth of Arphaxad ,
the period from the Flood to the birth of Abraham was three hundred and fifty -
two years .
The next period is from the birth of Abraham to the Exodus .
This ,
according to the Hebrew ,
extends to five hundred and five years .
The difficulty here is as to the four hundred and thirty years mentioned Ex .
12 :
40 ,
41 ;
Gal .
3 :
17 .
These years are regarded by some as dating from the covenant with Abraham (
Gen .
15 ),
which was entered into soon after his sojourn in Egypt ;
others ,
with more probability ,
reckon these years from Jacob '
s going down into Egypt . (
See {
EXODUS }.)
In modern times the systems of Biblical chronology that have been adopted are chiefly those of Ussher and Hales .
The former follows the Hebrew ,
and the latter the Septuagint mainly .
Archbishop Ussher '
s (
died 1656 )
system is called the short chronology .
It is that given on the margin of the Authorized Version ,
but is really of no authority ,
and is quite uncertain .
