The dates used are from creation, though dates BC (before Christ) are also given on later pages for convenience.
| 0 | Creation |
| 1662 | The Flood |
| 2083 | Abraham is called by God |
| 2513 | The Exodus |
| 2992 | The beginning of the Temple |
| 3418 | The fall of Jerusalem |
Since most people date the fall of Jerusalem to 586BC (give or take a couple of years) this gives a date for the creation of around 4004BC.
