Longevity Chart, Adam to Joseph
This is a really interesting chart if you’ve never seen this before. If you look at the ages in the Bible from Genesis 5 and 11 you can construct a genealogy chart from Adam all the way to Joseph. The Bible tells us how long each person lived and at what age they had children.
This is an interesting chart for many reasons. It tells us roughly how old the earth is (6,000 years). It shows how long people lived before the flood (900 years) and the sudden decline afterwards. And the most interesting point on this chart to me is #10 which says:
The first 2,157 years of history were covered by three men whose lives overlap (Adam, Methuselah, and Shem).
Shem (Noah’s son) lived 500 years after the flood and could have told the creation story to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Pretty amazing if you think about it.
Feel free to download and use this chart in your personal devotionals, or print and share it with friends. 
Please advise how I could read the chart. The letters seem too small. Thanks
