Where to plug Levi into the ICB chart?
Combining all the charts from “A Question in Genesis” created the beginnings of a chronology internal to the Story in the Bible (ICB) based on life dates, stretching 285 years from Year 00/075 Abram when Abram left Harran at 75 years old to Year 285/110 Jos when Joseph died at 110 years old. The next life date that could push the ICB forward is Levi’s death age at 137 years old given in Exodus 6.16. The key to plugging Levi’s death date into the ICB chart is figuring out when he was born.
What is the birth order of Jacob’s sons according to their father?
This link Levi’s Birth will take you to the essay discussing the charting of Levi’s life years. Again, the extensive tables don’t work well in a blog post.
Grace and peace to you,
