I have waited over 35 years for this. I’ve tried twice to do this but just got overwhelmed. Thank you so much for your research and presentation.

Herod's family is absolutely ridiculous. Imagine entering his house and calling: "Herod" and everybody turns around including the daughters, the servants and the house animals

I did this when I was a kid, I taped 20 a4 sheets together and drew it out all by hand during my school holidays

Overwhelming to realize how long this chart might have taken to complete. It's like a quick reference for those who are studying the bible an wants to understand these events > Kudos. This is a great work.
@DougVandegrift
The amount of information and knowledge this guy can put in the form of an easy to digest chart astounds me. Bravo! I'm learning more about Biblical history more than I ever did in seminary, and sunday school.

From Adam to Noah, the Hebrew names form a few Hebrew sentences: 1 Adam Man 2 Seth Appointed 3. Enosh Mortal 4. Kenan Sorrow 5. Mahahlalel The blessed God 6. Jared Shall come down 7. Enoch Teaching 8. Methuselah His death shall bring 9. Lamech The despairing 10. Noah Rest, comfort If we stitch the word meanings together, it forms the following sentences: 1. Man appointed mortal sorrow (The fall of man). 2. The blessed God shall come down teaching (Torah given to Moses) 3. His death shall bring the despairing rest and comfort (death of Jesus and fulfilment of Matt 11:28-29)
@Timothy1976
This is absolutely awesome. The amount of work that must have gone into the research to have this so clearly laid out. Thank you to whoever put this together

My parent's didn't know what they were going to name me til very shortly before my birth, they were in the middle of a bible study and the story of Abraham came up. They thought Terah sounded pretty good (despite the fact he's only mentioned twice in the Bible). 24 years later, here I am watching the breakdown of my namesake's family tree. Interesting times :D
@soniadavid7090
This 35:45 minute video deserves a standing ovation. Thank you for the knowledge I didn't know, existed. This is mind-blowing. Loved the chart and the explanation. Well done!!!
@brichter4669
This is by far the best and most comprehensive genealogy chart and explanation of the Biblical generations. I was fascinated as the genealogy story unfolded. Excellent presentation.
@ahmadibrahim7779
I think this is the best video and most educational I have seen. Thanks for the unbiased, smart, educative video

A couple of things to add to this video. 1: Christian Literalist dates align with Protestant and Catholic beliefs, because their Torah is basically sourced from the Masoretic (it's a bit more complicated than that, but for the purposes of this discussion it's true). However, the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches use the Septuagint (the Greek translation), which on average adds 100 years on the length of time between birth and birth of the child for each of the patriarchs (excluding Noah, Terah, and Abraham onwards). The Samaritans do a mix of the two, using what appear to be mostly Masoretic timelines from before the Flood and mostly Septuagint timelines for after the flood. 2: In the Septuagint Selah has a son named Cainan, and he is an interesting case study. He does not appear in the Masoretic or Samaritan Torah at all, and the earliest manuscripts of Luke omit him too. I'm not sure what made the Septuagint translators add Cainan on, though there might be a relation to the Book of Jubilees (apocryphal book considered canon to the Ethiopian Orthodox Church), which also has Cainan. Luke's mention is almost certainly either a scribal error (I believe on the older manuscripts there was a name that looked similar on the previous line of text, and the scribe might have accidentally copied his name twice) or was an overcorrect to align it closer to the Septuagint. 3: It's interesting that the Rabbis came to the conclusion that Exodus 12:40 originally read as "Egypt and Canaan", because that's what some non-denominational Christians have come to conclude using comparative analysis. The Septuagint, older copies of Josephus' body of work, and I believe the Samaritan all say "and Canaan" in those versions. 4: The Matthew genealogy of Jesus is potentially missing a name, because if you count the names for after the exile you only get 13. Now some think this gives credence to the theory that the Matthew genealogy is properly Mary's. The theory goes that Joseph son of Judah was originally the FATHER of Mary rather than her husband, citing the potential ambiguity of the Greek word used there which can mean both "man" and "father". Usually there's also claims of Matthew being originally authored in Hebrew, so there's potentially an element of mistranslation going on too. However, you could also just as easily say there's another ancestor mentioned there that a scribe missed. Both are possibilities worth considering.
@Theescapist_87
This was so well done! I just started reading the book of Exodus and this chart was a very helpful visual
@joshygoldiem_j2799
FUN FACT: The Mesha Stele was destroyed by the Bedouin because the Ottomans were demanding it over. Thankfully, the archaeologist who found it made an imprint of it, so its writing was preserved. The Stele on display today is actually a reproduction with only a few fragments that archaeologists were able to recover.
@rainer1334
Danke!
@bsolomon76
Wow, what an awesome visual display! Thank you so much for your time and effort in helping us understand the biblical genealogies. I am going to watch this many many more times!
@sdastoryteller3381
THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!! I'm going to go back and read some of scripture with that timeline in mind. I find the "minor Prophets" Rich with history but often hard to follow their context, who overlapped who, and when some of the many Kings mentioned ruled. This will help me visualize their placement in history. Thank you!
@FriendshipandPonies
Awesome! I love your channel. I'm not religious, though I spent my first 21 years in the church. No matter, I am always interested in history and especially learning about religions. I love how you format these videos, super non judgemental, and very informative.
