Biblical generation length
In Genesis 5 we see before the flood that the average age of when a couple had their firstborn was about 100; for the men. Then in Genesis 11 after the flood we see it drop to about 30.
Now in Gen. 15:16 Father tells #abraham that his descendants will return to Canaan in the 4th generation. I take it that the generations are counted from Jacob entering Egypt. So the 4 generations are then Levi, Kohath, Amram and then Moses.
That then is more like 50 years per #generation if we use the calculations in the video on
If however we use the traditional view of 400 years in #egypt then a generation would be 100 years.
Do we keep the average age of 30 (as in Gen. 11) as the length for a generation throughout the rest of the Bible or do we adjust it according to the passage we read?
Shalom aleichem! Silver Trumpet Ministries will once again be gathering this coming Shabbat (saturday) at the residence of Hein & Gerda Zentgraf in Henley on Klip from 09:30. This week we will study parashat q'doshim (set-apart ones), from the third book, Leviticus. Please note that the study is mainly in Afrikaans, but we are fully conversant in the English as well. Prepare from Torah: Vayiqra (Leviticus) 19:1 to 20:27, `Amos 9:7-15 and Acts 15:1-21; you are welcome to bring your questions to the table for discussion.
For people outside the Vaal Triangle, we offer a remote gathering via the Jitsi platform, a free application that works on computers and smartphones. We send the link out at 09:30 via our Telegram group, YAH's Festivals, or on request. Coffee and tea will be supplied and every family is welcome to contribute something light to eat. We request, however, that special diets, such as gluten intolerance and diabetes are kept in mind. Please contact us on Telegram 0837745609 or Whatsapp 0846743400. To the esteem of YAH!
