Notes: (1) The children may not all have been firstborn ones. Clearly Seth was not the firstborn of Adam. Cain was his firstborn, but we are not told when he was born. Further we are not told when the daughters were born. Perhaps some were born before the sons.
______(2) 70 years (see Psalm 90 verse 10).
______(3) 120 years (see Genesis 6 verse 3)
Applying the same calculation to Abraham we find the following:-
Abraham__________________________________86______________89______________75
Worked on a lifespan of 70 years_______________34
Worked on a lifespan of 120 years______________59
Applying the above to Ishmael his age of 14 at the birth of Isaac could have been somewhere between 6 and 10.
Worked on a lifespan of 70 years________________6 (34/86x14)
Worked on a lifespan of 120 years______________10 (59/86x14)
Average____________________________________8
