The Life of Abraham

• Abram

• Start — Genesis 12:4. The year of Abram's birth is the year his father, Terah, was born (1880) + the age of his father at Abram's birth (130) = 2010
• End — Genesis 25:7. The year of Abram's death is the year he was born (2010) + his age at death (175) = 2185

Terah lived SEVENTY YEARS, and became the father of Abram, Nahor and Haran. (GEN 11:26) [Who was born first? Terah was at least 70 years old when Abram was born.] The days of Terah were two hundred and five years; and Terah died in Haran. (GEN 11:32) [Terah died in Haran at the age of 205 in Haran.] Now Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. (GEN 12:4) [Terah was 205 when he died in Haran and Abram (aged 75) left Haran when Terah died (Acts 7:4). This means Terah was 130 when Abram was born.]

Years are anno hominis — counted from Creation as year 1 — which is the frame the source computes in. The arithmetic behind each boundary is given above rather than assumed.
