"Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. ."--2 Pet. 3:3-4 |

Birth of Arphaxad The first actual decision that must be made in the Chronology is when was Arphaxad born? The question is, does the term "after the flood" refer to after the end of the flood, or after the start of the flood? The flood was an 11 month, 17 day event, so this would make a difference of effectively one year. We will choose after the start of the flood for this reason. Noah is said to have lived 600 years till the flood, and 350 years, "after the flood" and died 950 years old. This would seem to indicate that the dating for the term "after the flood" is from the start of the flood, for he would have died 951 years old, if the dating was from the end of the flood. Having no reason to reckon any other way, we will assume that the same dating applies to the birth of Arphaxad. Return to Chart of the Patriarchs
