  • StartGenesis 11:26. The year of Haran (son of Terah)'s birth is the year his father, Terah, was born (1880) + the age of his father at Haran (son of Terah)'s birth (70) = 1950
  • EndGenesis 11:28. The year of Haran (son of Terah)'s death is the year Terah and Abram depart Ur = 2080

Notes

The days of Terah were TWO HUNDRED AND FIVE YEARS; and Terah died in Haran. (GEN 11:32) 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 was 75 left Haran when Terah died (Acts 7:4). This means Terah was 130 when Abram was born so either Nahor or Haran was born when Terah was 70.]

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.
