Here is Table 2, also deformatted 🙁

Table 2 Revised calculation of the 430 years

Abram called in Ur at age 55 (Acts 7:2-7), goes to Haran

Abraham leaves Haran at age 75 (Gen. 12:4)… 20 yrs

Covenant with Abraham at age 85 (ch. 15, 16:3) 10 yrs. (400 years remain, 15:13)… 10 yrs… (400 years remain, 15:13)

Abraham dies at 175 (25:7), Isaac 75 (21:5)… 90 yrs

Jacob then 15 (from 25:26), enters Egypt at 130 (47:9)… 115 yrs

In Egypt

Jacob dies at 147 (47:28)… 17 yrs… 17 yrs

95-year gap to make up the 430 years 95 yrs… 95 yrs… 95 yrs

Aaron born 83 years before the Exodus (Ex. 7:7)… 83 yrs… 83 yrs

Totals… 430 yrs… 195 yrs
