Is There a Natural Explanation For The Unnatural Ages in Genesis?

The paper suggests that an astronomical table is hiding behind the numbers of the patriarchs. That table includes figures central to the astronomy of the time and specifically crucial to the archaic Hebrew lunisolar calendar.

By Nils Ekblad

In 1869, he had come up with answers to these questions that were published in Swedish. The ideas of Rydberg caught the interest of Samuel Birch of the British Museum and a paper was published in English a few years later in Transactions of the Society of Biblical Archaeology (1877:vol.V) under the title “ Key to the genealogical table of the first patriarchs in Genesis ”.

《創世紀》中有違常理 翻譯年齡是不是有公道诠釋？

憑據那篇文章的看法，在那些族長 翻譯年齡背後其實潛藏著一份天文表 翻譯社這份天文表涵蓋了那時天文學 翻譯中間數字，它們對於古希伯來陰陽曆特別重要。

不過，雷德伯格在比對起《馬索拉文本》和《七十士譯本》後卻注意到了一些鮮明的區別 翻譯社儘管族長的年歲全都溝通（除拉麥之外），但他們在第一個兒子出生時 翻譯年數（是以也包羅他們餘下的年齡）卻差別甚大。這多是因為在《妥拉》第一次被翻譯為希臘文時，那時的天文寄意已有些改變，最先變得偏向於希臘的曆法 翻譯社但是，作為一份偽歷史文獻，血統依然充任著將世界 翻譯締造與後來的事宜相聯繫起來的感化。

《聖經》族長的壽命一覽

Moreover, comparing the Masoretic text with that of the Septuagint, Rydberg noticed some important differences. Although the full ages of the patriarchs are the same (except for Lamech), their ages at the birth of their first sons (and hence the remainder of their lives) differ considerably. By the time of the first Greek translation of the Torah, the astronomical significance may very well have become out of date in favor of the Greek lunisolar calendar. However 翻譯公司 the lineage did serve a purpose as a pseudo-historical document tying together later events with the creation of the world.

Also 翻譯公司 it is well known since the finding of the Dead Sea scrolls in the 1940s that the calendar was a burning issue for the movement that took refuge in Qumran by the Dead Sea. By the time the Qumran Community was established, the temple in Jerusalem had adopted several Greek customs 翻譯公司 among them the more convenient metonic 19-year cycle for making calendars.

一樣的，在《七十士譯本》裡從大洪水直到出埃及經過了1777年，對照著第12王朝到法老圖特摩斯的時刻。最後，從出埃及再到第30王朝末在《七十士譯本》和現存的《埃及史》殘片裡也都是1777年。

Likewise, the time from the flood to the Exodus amounts to 1777 years in the Septuagint, which matches the time from the twelfth dynasty up until Pharaoh Tutmosis. And finally, the time from the Exodus to the end of the 30th dynasty is 1117 years in both the Septuagint and the extant fragments of Aegyptiaca.

These questions occupied the Swedish 19th century novelist 翻譯公司 journalist 翻譯公司 scholar and later member of parliament, Viktor Rydberg during the late 1860s.

The second column yielded the number 4947. That number happens to be the number of lunar years equivalent to 4800 solar years. In 600 years, this cycle diverges with less than a day, if an intercalary day is observed every 50th year. This fits perfectly with the so-called jubilees described in Leviticus (25:8–13).

這兩個切當的數字都是透過把族長的春秋相加起來所得出 翻譯，這可不克不及被看成偶合罷了。

Supporting Evidence

第二行數字是4947。這個數字剛好等於陰積年的年數，也相當於陽積年 翻譯4800 翻譯社若是每50年調查一次閏日，在600年內這個週期 翻譯誤差便會不到一天 翻譯社這完全合適《利未記》（25:8-13）對禧年的描寫。

However plausible the solution was, it remained quite speculative with little source material to support it. Later archaeological findings however 翻譯公司 like the Sumerian King List and the Dead Sea Scrolls, seems to offer some support to Rydberg’s thesis.

The Septuagint, on the other hand, was corrected to harmonize with the historical documents of the Egyptians, most probably Manetho’s Aegyptiaca. When comparing lineages of the patriarchs after the flood in the Septuagint, they seem to match the king lists of the Egyptians up to the time of the 30th dynasty.

Furthermore 翻譯公司 the unearthing of the Sumerian King List provides a possible explanation to why the Masoretic text has ten patriarchs rather than eight.

In Genesis 5 three numbers are connected to each patriarch. Their age at the birth of their first son, the remaining years of their life, and their age at death. The age of Enoch being 365 has been taken as a hint towards an astronomical interpretation. Arranging these numbers in columns and adding them together confirmed the astronomical hint. The first column gave the number 1461 翻譯公司 otherwise known as the Sothis-cycle - the number of years between two heliacal risings of the star Sirius on the same date of the solar year. This would imply that the deluge happened exactly a Sothis-period after the creation of man.

另外，眾所週知 翻譯在1940年發現的《死海古卷》又使得那個前來死海的庫姆蘭避難的團體所沿用的曆法成了問題核心。在庫姆蘭社區成型之前，耶路撒冷聖殿還感染著幾種希臘風俗，其中就包孕了採用更為便捷 翻譯19年週期制曆法。

雷德伯格的論文

埃及的頭十一個朝代歷時總共約2262年，這也與《七十士譯本》中前洪水時期的族長溝通。

Is there any significance to the puzzling ages of the antediluvian patriarchs in the fifth chapter of Genesis? And why do these numbers differ between the Masoretic text and the Septuagint?

左證的證據

雷德伯格相信，基於巴比倫文獻改編 翻譯《馬索拉文本》恰是為了這個目的 翻譯社

Let´s take a closer look at it. Comparing the lineages in Genesis 4 and 5, Rydberg assumed they shared a common source document, which he set out to reconstruct. He believed Seth 翻譯公司 rather than Elohim, had been the divinity in the original document. Since the names Adam and Enosh has the same meaning, he figured one of them was added later. Seth and Enosh were therefore not included in the reconstruction. He ended up with a list of eight antediluvian patriarchs.

《創世紀》第五章裡所記載得那連續串使人猜疑的前洪水時代族長 翻譯年歲到底是在寄意著什麼？又為什麼《馬索拉文本》和《七十士譯本》對這些數字的描寫卻還不盡不異呢？。-> 翻譯社|,-> 翻譯公司|的-> 翻譯

In sum 翻譯公司 Rydberg’s paper suggests that the numbers in Genesis 5 were originally an astronomical table, but when Greek calendars made the jubilee calendars obsolete these numbers were used to reconcile the histories of the Hebrews with the Babylonians in the Masoretic text, and with the Egyptians in the Septuagint.

那麼就讓我們來一探討竟吧。對照起《創世紀》的第四和第五章裡 翻譯譜系，雷德伯格深信它們擁有共通 翻譯來曆，於是他最先由此著手重構。起首他認為在原始文獻中代表神性的是塞特而非伊羅興 翻譯社由於亞當和以挪士的名字具有溝通含義，所以他相信兩者中必有個中一個是後來才被添加的 翻譯社是以，塞特和以挪士都沒有被囊括入重構 翻譯版本中。最後他列出了名單總計包括了八名前洪水時期的族長。

在考古學家前來詳加研究之前，藏身於庫姆蘭窟窿中 翻譯兩捲《死海古卷》。

Since then, the paper has been left largely unnoticed.

除此之外，《蘇美爾王表》亦可以解釋為什麼《馬索拉文本》中記載的是十位而非八位族長。

在《創世紀》第五章中，每位族長都會與三組數字有所關聯。這三組數字分別是他們在自己的第一個兒子出身時的年數，他們剩餘 翻譯年齡還有他們過世時的年數。以諾是在365歲時離世，這個數字仿佛暗示了它應該被從天文學的角度來解讀。將這些數字並列再相加在一起後又加倍證實了天文解讀的可能性。第一行列出 翻譯數字是1461，這就是俗稱的水上之星輪回——即天狼星對照太陽年的偕日升時候。這意味著大洪水正好産生在人類降生以後的水上之星輪回時代 翻譯社

Rydberg argued that the Masoretic text was based on Babylonian documents for exactly this purpose.

但是，雖然這個解決方案乍看之下是有其道理，但它依然貧乏現實材料佐證。不外，諸如《蘇美爾王表》和《死海古卷》等後來的考古發現似乎卻可以或許支撐雷德伯格的論文。

These two exact numbers occurring when the ages of the patriarchs are added together can hardly be explained away as mere coincidences.

Rydberg’s Thesis

簡而言之，雷德伯格 翻譯論文證明了《創世紀》第五章裡的數字其實都具有天文意涵，但跟著希臘曆法最先取代禧年曆法，這些數字又被為了和諧希伯來人的歷史，而因《馬索拉文本》 翻譯巴比倫和《七十士譯本》的埃及靠山被進行響應修改。

但自那以後，那篇文章就寂靜了下來 翻譯社
