Here is part 2 of the Genesis Days from Disciple Dojo. Enjoy.
With the new Bible reading cycle starting in October, I thought about getting a head start on the days of creation. There is so much to cover in that first week, we just can’t cover it all. DiscipleDojo, over on YouTube has started a series about the days of creation. I don’t know how long the series will continue, but hopefully, as we go through the Days of Teshuva, the series will cover most of the days.
The Days of Teshuva begin tonight at sundown. Here is the first video episode. Feel free to watch all of the available episodes over on YouTube. But I will post them here until we catch up with him. Enjoy.
We ended the last Torah Portion with the birth of Abram and the death of his father, Terah. Terah was 70 years old when he became a father, and he lived for 205 years. Genesis 12:4 tells us that Abram was 75 when he left Haran after his father died. That would mean that Terah was 130 years old when he fathered Abram. (205-75=130).

The blue columns contain the numbers provided in the Septuagint; the white columns contain the numbers from the Hebrew Masoretic. Those pairs of columns have six categories. They display the age of the fathers at the time of the births of their respective sons, then years for the rest of their lives, and the total number of years that they lived. From those numbers, we can determine the numbers that fill the following two columns, which show each person’s birth year and death year, counted from the creation. They are not BC (BCE) years. The last column is from Adam to Lamech only because it shows the number of years before the flood in which they died.
