GEN 7:11-16, In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second
month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the
fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were
opened. And the rain was upon the earth forty days and forty nights.
In the selfsame day entered
Noah, and Shem, and Ham, and Japheth, the sons of Noah, and Noah's
wife, and the three wives of his sons with them, into the ark; They,
and every beast after his kind, and all the cattle after their kind,
and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth after his kind,
and every fowl after his kind, every bird of every sort. And they
went in unto Noah into the ark, two and two of all flesh, wherein is
the breath of life. And they that went in, went in male and female of
all flesh, as God had commanded him: and the LORD shut him in.
--------------------------------
GEN 7:6-10. And Noah was
six hundred years old when the flood of waters was upon the earth.
And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives
with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. Of clean
beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every
thing that creepeth upon the earth, There went in two and two unto
Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded
Noah. And it came to pass after seven days,
that the waters of the flood were upon the earth.
GEN 7:4, For yet seven days, and I will cause it to rain
upon the earth forty days and forty nights;
and every living substance that I have made will I destroy from off the face of the earth.
--------------------------------
GEN 8:2 The fountains
also of the deep and the windows of heaven were stopped,
and the rain from heaven was restrained;
GEN 7:7 And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. ... 11 In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month,¹ the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
GEN 8:4, And the ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month,² upon the mountains of Ararat.
¹’² 2nd month: Iyar, 17-29 is 13 days; 3rd month: Sivan, 30 days; 4th month: Tammuz, 29 days; 5th month: Av, 30 days; 6th month: Elul, 29 days, + 17 in 7th month. TOTAL: 148 DAYS. - p.b.
--------------------------------
GEN 8:5, And the waters decreased continually until the tenth month: in the tenth month, on the first day of the month, ³ were the tops of the mountains seen.
¹’³ 2nd month: Iyar, 17-29 is 13 days; 3rd month: Sivan, 30 days; 4th month: Tammuz, 29 days; 5th month: Av, 30 days; 6th month: Elul, 29 days; 7th month: Tishri, 30 days; 8th month: Cheshvan, 29 or 30 days; 9th month: Kislev, 29 or 30 days. TOTAL: 219, 220, or 221 depending on how many days were in Cheshvan and Kislev that year. If the ark did not come to rest on the first day the mountains were seen, then it would have been more than 219 days. - p.b.
GEN 7:17, And the flood was forty days upon the
earth; and the waters increased, and bare up the ark, and it was lift
up above the earth.
--------------------------------
GEN 7:24, And the waters prevailed upon the earth an
hundred and fifty days.
GEN 8:13, And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year [of
Noah's life], in the first month, the first day of
the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth:
--------------------------------
GEN 8:14, And in the second month, on the seven and twentieth day of
the month, was the earth dried.
GEN 7:23, And every living substance was destroyed who
was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the
creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed
from the earth: and Noah
only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
--------------------------------
GEN 6:4, There were giants in the
earth in those days; and also after that, when the sons of God came
in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the
same became mighty men who were of old, men of renown.
[Before the flood. - p.b.]
NUM 13:33, And there we saw the giants, the sons of Anak, who come of the giants: and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers, and so we were in their sight. [After the flood. - p.b.]
[SEE ALSO: #37., below. - p.b.]
GEN 7:23, And every living substance was destroyed who
was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the
creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed
from the earth: and Noah
only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
---------------------
GEN 15:18. In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram,
saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt
unto the great river, the river Euphrates: 19 The Kenites,
and the Kenizzites, and the Kadmonites,
JUDG 1:16, And the children of the Kenite, Moses' father in law, went up out of the city of palm trees with the children of Judah into the wilderness of Judah, which lieth in the south of Arad; and they went and dwelt among the people.
GEN 5:25, And Methuselah lived one hundred sixty-seven years
and became the father of Lamech, (LXX)
--------------------------------
GEN 5:25, And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years,
and begat Lamech: (KJV)
GEN 5:28-29, And Lamech lived an hundred
eighty and two years, and begat a son: And he called his name Noah
....(KJV)
--------------------------------
GEN 5:28, And Lamech lived one hundred eighty-eight years
and became the father of a son and named him Noe .... (LXX)
GEN 7:7, And Noah
went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with
him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood. ... 23, And
every living substance was destroyed who
was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the
creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed
from the earth: and Noah
only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark.
--------------------------------
GEN
5:25-27, And Methuselah lived an hundred eighty and seven years,
and begat Lamech: And Methuselah lived after he begat Lamech seven
hundred eighty and two years,
and begat sons and daughters: And all the days of Methuselah were
nine hundred sixty and nine years: and he died.
(1) Methuselah was 187 years old when his son Lamech was born, and he lived for 782 years after that, dying at the age of 969 years (187 + 782 = 969).
GEN 5:28-29, And Lamech lived an hundred eighty and two years, and begat a son: And he called his name Noah, saying, This same shall comfort us concerning our work and toil of our hands, because of the ground which the LORD hath cursed.
(2) Lamech was 182 years old when his son Noah was born. So, Methuselah was 369 when Noah was born (187 + 182 = 369).
GEN 7:11, In the six hundredth year of Noah's life, in the second month, the seventeenth day of the month, the same day were all the fountains of the great deep broken up, and the windows of heaven were opened.
(3) When the Flood began, Noah was in his six hundredth year, or, to be exact, 599 years, one month, and seventeen days old. So, Methuselah was 968 when the flood began (369 + 599 = 968).
GEN 7:7, And Noah went in, and his sons, and his wife, and his sons' wives with him, into the ark, because of the waters of the flood.
(4) But Methuselah was not on the ark. Therefore, he was left behind at age 968. No one survived outside the ark, so Methuselah lived 968 years, not 969 as GEN 5:27 says.
[NOTE: Calculations from the Septuagint yield a different figure for how long Methuselah survived after the flood:
GEN 5:25-27, "And Methuselah lived 167 years and became the father of Lamech, and Methuselah lived after he became the father of Lamech 802 years, and had sons and daughters. And all the days of Methuselah, which he lived, amounted to 969 years, and he died. And Lamech lived 188 years and became the father of a son and named him Noe ...." (LXX)
Methuselah was 355 (167 + 188) when Noah was born (not 369 as the KJV says), and 954 (355 + 599) {Noah's age}) when the flood began. So in this version, Methuselah lived 15 years after the flood (969 - 954 = 15). - p.b.]
GEN 11:6 And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all
one language; and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be
restrained from them, which they have imagined to do. 7 Go to, let
us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not
understand one another's speech.
--------------------------------
ACT 2:4, And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak
with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. 5 And there
were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation
under heaven. 6 Now when this was noised abroad, the multitude came
together, and were confounded, because that every man heard them
speak in his own language. ... 11 Cretes and Arabians, we
do hear them speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God..
GEN 12:5, And Abram took Sarai his wife, and Lot his brother's son, and
all their substance that they had gathered, and the souls that they
had gotten in Haran; and they went forth to go into the land of Canaan;
and into the land of Canaan they came.

father was a stranger, in
the land of Canaan.

GEN 17:8, And I will give unto thee,
and to thy seed after thee, the land wherein thou art a stranger, all
the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.
--------------------------------

thence, when his father was dead, he removed him into this land,
wherein ye now dwell. 5 And he
gave him none inheritance in it, no, not so much as to set his foot
on:yet he promised that he would give it to him for a possession, and to his
seed after him, when as yet he had no child.
HEB 11:8-9, By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirswith him of the same promise: ... 13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth.
GEN 14:14, And when Abram heard that his brother was taken captive, he
armed his trained servants, born in his own house, three hundred and
eighteen, and pursued them unto Dan.
--------------------------------
JUDG 18:29, And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of
Dan their father, who was born unto Israel: howbeit the name of the
city was Laish at the first.

a deep sleep fell upon Abram; and, lo, an horror of great darkness fell upon him.
2PET 2:7, And delivered just Lot,
vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: 8 (For that righteous man
dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul
from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 9 The Lord knoweth how to
deliver the godly out of temptations, and to reserve the unjust unto
the day of judgment to be punished:
--------------------------------
GEN 19:8, Behold now, I have two
daughters which have not known man; let me, I pray you,
bring them out unto you, and do ye to them as is good in your eyes:
only unto these men do nothing; for therefore came they under the
shadow of my roof....
GEN 19:36, Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father.
GEN 19:1 And there came two angels to
Sodom at even; and Lot sat in the gate of Sodom: and Lot seeing them
rose up to meet them; and he bowed himself with his face toward the
ground; ... 13 For we will destroy this place, because the cry of
them is waxen great before the face of the LORD; and the LORD hath sent us to destroy it.
--------------------------------
GEN 19:24 Then the LORD rained upon
Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the LORD out of heaven;
GEN 19:21-22, And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning
this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city,
for the which thou hast spoken. Haste thee, escape thither; for I
cannot do any thing till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of
the city was called Zoar. ... 30 And Lot went up out of Zoar, and
dwelt in the mountain, and his two daughters with him; for he feared
to dwell in Zoar: and he dwelt in a cave, he and his two daughters.
--------------------------------
GEN 19:31, And the firstborn said unto the younger, Our father is old, and there
is not a man in the earth to come in unto us after the manner of all the earth:
HEB 11:11, Through faith also Sara herself received strength
to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age,
because she judged him faithful who had promised.
--------------------------------
GEN 18:10, And he said, I will certainly return unto thee according to the time of
life; and, lo, Sarah thy wife shall have a son. And Sarah heard it in
the tent door, which was behind him. 11 Now Abraham and Sarah were
old and well stricken in age; and it ceased to be with Sarah after
the manner of women. 12 Therefore Sarah laughed within
herself, saying, After I am waxed old shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?
GEN21:2, Sarah conceived and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set
time of which God had spoken to him.

child under one of the shrubs.

Wilt thou also destroy the righteous with the wicked?

thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get thee into the land of
Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering ...

the knife to slay his son.
