Additional Study

I Was WRONG! At the least we have a clear time for Shem.
Shem was born in 1453 before the death of Lamech in 1546 and the death of Methuselah in 1551. He would have known his grandfather for 93 years but, he would have known Methuselah for 98 years so the timing is still valid. Adam was around to teach Methuselah who was around to teach Shem.

People who lived after the flood: Noah was born in 951, Shem was born in 1453, Arphaxad was born in 1553, Salah was born in 1588, Eber was born in 1618, Peleg was born in 1652, Reu was born in 1682, Serug was born in 1712, Nahor was born in 1742, Terah was born in 1771, by 1841 Terah was 70 and had Abram and Nahor and Haran - Haran died young and Abram and Nahor moved to Canaan with Terah to live in Haran, Nahor showed another dramatic drop in lifespans and died in 1890, Peleg showed the reality of shortening life spans not even outlasting Noah and dying in 1891, Noah died in 1901, Reu died in 1919, Serug died in 1942, Terah died in 1976, Arphaxad died in 1991 - 62 years before his father, Salah died 32 years before his grandfather in 2021, Shem died in 2053, Eber - great-grandson of Shem - has the distinction of being the first of Shem’s descendants to out live him - Shem and Eber shared 435 years on earth and Eber died in 2082.

Quick note. Tomorrows daily reading is Genesis chapters 17-19. My blog for that devotion will be late because it is 2:40 in the morning now and I should still be sound asleep at 9am.

This had a nice outline feel to it before it posted. Someday I need to learn html so I can ad the proper indents.
