Biblical Chronology
- Main Article: Biblical chronology
The Biblical genealogy provides the basis for the chronology of events described in the Bible. Due to the accuracy of the genealogical record, the chronological record is precise and detailed from the first day of creation to the life of Terah, father of Abraham. From Abraham to Jesus, however, the dates are uncertain and in dispute.
