The Hebrew Timeline
Email Bible question
Are the Hebrew and King James timeline of the Bible (Old Testament) different?Yes. The two timelines place creation 244 years apart.
The Hebrew Timeline known as Seder Olam Rabba places creation at 3760 BC. It was calculated on a literal reading of the book of Genesis by Tanna Yose ben Halafta in the second century BC. (The Tannaim (Hebrew: תנאים, singular תנא, Tanna) were the Rabbinic sages whose views are recorded in the Mishnah, from approximately 70-200 CE Tannaim from wikipedia.org)The Hebrew Timeline and the King James Biblical timeline based on Ussher's chronology that places creation at 4004 BC. The 244 year difference is due to differences in calculations during the period of time when dates have to be determined by relationship to other events as exact time frames and relative dates are not given. (see our article The Three Bible Timelines: Why and How They Differ )
Here are some of the dates on the Jewish Timeline:
