Yes, the title is long and might be confusing....let me try to elaborate.
There is a disparity in chronological sequence of time (ref. Biblical history). Specifically, when one looks at Genesis and creates a graph, chart or some means to evaluate a table of events..you begin with point A (The birth of Adam) and begin to work backwards.
If Adam was born at an unknown date, we can arrive at a hypothesis by using existing data in the Bible to formulate that guess.
Adam begat Seth, Seth begat.....they lived and died at such and such.
Now, the problem I am refereeing to lay in a spot I have not seen anyone talk about. As some of you know, I have a chart mapping history from the current to where most Biblical historians and scholars place Adam (4114 BC). But there is a huge issue! If we place Adam at that date and work backwards, we eventually arrive at Jacob's birth being 2006 BC. Now pay attention, if Moses's exodus happened at 1445/1446 BC, his birth would be about 1526 BC during the reign of Ahmose 1, the new king that came in the 19th dynasty who most likely did not know Joseph. If Moses was born about that time (1526 BC), and his father was Amram whose Father was Kohath whose Father was Levi whose Father was Jacob....how is there a GIANT gap between Moses's 2nd great grandfather and the year 1526 BC (Moses's birth) and the guessed birth of Jacob at 2006 BC marking 480 years between Moses's paternal line. Basically, its almost impossible and extremely unlikely. Each of those parents would live past 100 and each have a new child at over +100 years old. During Noah's time, people did live LONG lives, but not during Moses's time or before then.
The problem is, when working backwards from Adam, we have valuable information to formulate the path to Jacob with pin point accuracy. The error lies in the date. When working from today to Moses, we have extreme accuracy as well. I think what needs to happen, is to continue working from the current and work towards Jacob for a better date than what is accepted and is obviously flawed. A man was said in the Bible to live about the age of 70, and if he lived to 80...he had a long prosperous life. Most had children by the age of 40 years. If we were to go by the guess that every 40 years, a child was born...that would place Jacob's birth around 1680's BC in the reign's of Libaya of Assyria and Samsu-Iluna of Babylon.
EDIT: I'd also like to point of, for those that forget, there is not a birth/death really recorded for Amran, Kohath, Levi …. that we can work out how many years were between them and their offspring. But 480 years? It doesn't fit anything after Moses or either in the time of Jacob if it was 2006 BC
We do know Jacob dies at 147 years old.
Joseph at 110
Levi 137
If Jacob lived 147, and Levi 137 - that is a total of 284 years which isn't accurate because its their births and they did not have offspring then. That still leaves Kohath and Amran. They both would need to make up a lot of time between for 480 year gap to work. If each had their son at age 20, there is still 276 years to make up between those 2 parents meaning each would have to live 138 years or some basic precipice between them.
