Did Jacob Know the Age of His Ancestors?

Jan 11, 2024 | Creation, Podcast

Join me in this thought-provoking episode as we delve deep into the debate over the age of the Earth, exploring the significance of genealogies in Genesis chapters five and eleven. Young earth creationists argue for a 6,000-year-old Earth based on these genealogies and unravel the challenges posed by skeptics. Could a fascinating account in Genesis 47 where Jacob converses with Pharaoh, raising questions about Jacob’s knowledge of his ancestors’ ages, be the key to understanding how to read these genealogies?
