04/12/25 ~ Comparing MT, LXX, SP ...


Image generated for me by Google AI ImageFX

NOTE: I DID NOT VERIFY THE INFORMATION - THIS IS SOLELY FOR MY CURIOSITY's SAKE IN MY CHAT WITH GROK 3 (by xAI) - YOU DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH AND IF USING AN AI BE AWARE THEY CAN AND DO MAKE MISTAKES!!! Here's a compiled comparison of biblical chronologies from: Masoretic (MT) using the KJV, as Bishop Ussher believed, so starting from his creation year of 4004 BC (not the same as mine, which is 3982 BC) as compared to the Septuagint (LXX) and the Samaritan Pentateuch (SP). I wanted them all here on my own page for future reference. As far as I know, this is accurate but if you find errors ... blame Grok (link below) ;o}

04/12/25 ~ Seder Olam: Zutta -vs- Rabbah


Image generated for me by Google AI ImageFX

I'm working with Grok 3 (by xAI) to see the differences in chronological years between the Seder Olam Zutta -vs- Seder Olam Rabbah. I'm just curious where the differences are (and why). The lighter pink rows are my added comments ... because I can ;o}

I've asked Grok to give me the hyperlinks to scripture wherever possible in KJV via BlueLetterBible (.org) even tho, obviously, neither source would use KJV ... I'm asking for it solely for my own convenience should I want to look those scriptures up in the future. You can mouseover any KJV link to read it. All other links will be at the bottom of the page.

vvv Let's Grok explain it, sorta kinda vvv

Zutta vs. Rabbah Summary: Seder Olam Zutta is shorter, focusing on patriarchs, kings, and major events from Creation (0001 AM, 3760 BC) to 70 AD (3828 AM), with less detail. Seder Olam Rabbah is longer, adding judges, exiles, and explanations, starting at 0001 AM (3761 BC). Both align at 3828 AM (70 AD), but Rabbah’s extra years and details shift some BC dates by one year.

Note on Missing Judges in Zutta and Rabbah: Eli (~40 years, 2831–2871 AM, 1 Samuel 4:18 KJV) and Tola (~23 years, 2790–2813 AM, Judges 10:1 KJV) seem missing but are folded into Samson/Samuel (2836–2892 AM) and Gideon (2744–2784 AM). Zutta/Rabbah merge them to shorten the Judges period. See Seder Olam Rabbah for more information. *** See my blog post on A C T S 13:20 regarding Paul's account of 450 years of the times of the judges "until Samuel" ... Oppressors = 114 years; Judges = 336 years for a total of 450 years 03/22/25 ~ A c t s 13:20 ... 450 years

Note on Missing Monarchy Figures in Zutta and Rabbah: Ishbosheth (~2 years, 2894–2896 AM, 2 Samuel 2:10 KJV) is folded into David’s reign (2894–2934 AM). Saul’s longer reign (~38 years, Acts 13:21 KJV) is cut to 2 years and merged into Samuel (2871–2892 AM). Zutta/Rabbah condense overlaps for a compact timeline. For more details, see Seder Olam Rabbah.

Thanks to Grok (version 3 - by xAI) for compiling the data and the HTML! If there are any errors, blame Grok, I'm too tired to confirm considering I've been at it all dang afternoon/evening! *YAWN* ... I'm DONE with this timeline ... on to the next headache! LOL

04/08/25 ~ Josephus Timelines


Image from Google Images

I'm still on the timeline (chronology) bandwagon - this time I'm looking at Josephus (with the help of Grok 3 by xAI), gathering the info and presenting it to anyone interested in reading. I'm researching all kinds of chronologies and if I find them helpful to me I'm putting them here as well. For now, let's delve into Josephus' viewpoint ... but remember ... it's just one man's viewpoint and not necessarily completely accurate, even though he was an Historian, there are differing opinions as to the interpretation of his writings so we'll just roll with what Grok has found. Enjoy ;o}

NOTES:

Flavius Josephus, a first-century Jewish historian, chronicled key figures and events from Creation to the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD in his work Antiquities of the Jews. This post presents two possible timelines based on his writings: one spanning 3513 years and another 4513 years from Creation to 70 AD. The two columns reflect different interpretations of his totals of: 3513 years from a shorter estimate; and 4513 years from a longer, more widely accepted count aligned with historical events like the Temple’s fall. The numbers show Anno Mundi (AM, years since Creation) and corresponding BC/AD dates, offering a glimpse into how Josephus tracked biblical history.

3513 -vs- 4513: The later figure likely reflects a longer chronology influenced by the Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), which Josephus often follows, adding years to patriarchal lifespans and intervals compared to the Masoretic Text (Hebrew Bible). 4513 years is more consistent with Josephus’ broader narrative and the Septuagint (LXX), while 3513 years might reflect a variant or error ascended from Creation to 70 AD. The 1000-year gap reflects textual and interpretive differences.

Josephus Source: Flavius Josephus, The Antiquities of the Jews, trans. William Whiston (Project Gutenberg) The data comes from Antiquities of the Jews (e.g., Ant. 1.67-86 for patriarchs, Ant. 10.144-148 for later totals), with 3513 years setting Creation at 3443 BC and 4513 years at 5300 BC.

I can't *verify* the accuracy of the data ... I'm simply posting what Grok 3 by xAI found for me. If you disagree, have at it!
