Bible Genealogy Chart Reveals Noah Could Have Known Abraham

Have you ever read through Genesis chapter 5 and had your eyes roll back in your head and wondered why God put such a boring chapter of genealogy in the Bible? The data in Genesis 5 allows us to delve into a chart, a valuable tool for comprehending the initial connections in the genealogies of man. Could Noah have crossed paths with Abraham? Did Shem know Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob? Genealogies are also present in Luke 3 and 1 Chronicles 1, albeit with some spelling variations and the exclusion of three individuals in specific lists, for valid reasons.  

Jesus, in Mathew 19:4 and Mark 10:6, referred to the creation of Adam and Eve as 'the Beginning.' By cross-referencing Exodus 20:11, Acts 13:20-21, 1 Kings 2:11, 11:42, and other biblical and historical dates, it becomes evident that the Bible puts Adam's creation around 6,000 years ago, not 'billions of years ago.' 

• According to the chart below, Adam knew Methuselah for 243 years.

• Shem knew Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

• The first 2,157 years of history are covered by three men whose lives overlap (Adam, Methuselah, and Shem)

• Noah had six living ancestors who could have known Adam personally.

• All 10 of Abraham's post-flood ancestors (even Noah) were alive for his early life.
