Herod's family is absolutely ridiculous. Imagine entering his house and calling: "Herod" and everybody turns around including the daughters, the servants and the house animals

I have waited over 35 years for this. I’ve tried twice to do this but just got overwhelmed. Thank you so much for your research and presentation.

Overwhelming to realize how long this chart might have taken to complete. It's like a quick reference for those who are studying the bible an wants to understand these events > Kudos. This is a great work.

This 35:45 minute video deserves a standing ovation. Thank you for the knowledge I didn't know, existed. This is mind-blowing. Loved the chart and the explanation. Well done!!!

The amount of information and knowledge this guy can put in the form of an easy to digest chart astounds me. Bravo! I'm learning more about Biblical history more than I ever did in seminary, and sunday school.

Interesting fact: Pharaoh Shoshenq invaded Judah and so, everyone hated him. Later, he was arrested and he worked hard to pay his debt to society and redeem himself. His story is told in the 1994 movie The Shawshank Redemption.

I did this when I was a kid, I taped 20 a4 sheets together and drew it out all by hand during my school holidays

I'm really happy I ran across your channel, your an outstanding teacher young man.

My parent's didn't know what they were going to name me til very shortly before my birth, they were in the middle of a bible study and the story of Abraham came up. They thought Terah sounded pretty good (despite the fact he's only mentioned twice in the Bible). 24 years later, here I am watching the breakdown of my namesake's family tree. Interesting times :D

FUN FACT: The Mesha Stele was destroyed by the Bedouin because the Ottomans were demanding it over. Thankfully, the archaeologist who found it made an imprint of it, so its writing was preserved. The Stele on display today is actually a reproduction with only a few fragments that archaeologists were able to recover.

This is amazing!!!! God bless you for doing this I have tried but never finished :) I am so grateful for this it really helps me visualize everything so much better 💜

"7 generations later"...main character syndrome.

This is absolutely awesome. The amount of work that must have gone into the research to have this so clearly laid out. Thank you to whoever put this together

From Adam to Noah, the Hebrew names form a few Hebrew sentences: 1 Adam Man 2 Seth Appointed 3. Enosh Mortal 4. Kenan Sorrow 5. Mahahlalel The blessed God 6. Jared Shall come down 7. Enoch Teaching 8. Methuselah His death shall bring 9. Lamech The despairing 10. Noah Rest, comfort If we stitch the word meanings together, it forms the following sentences: 1. Man appointed mortal sorrow (The fall of man). 2. The blessed God shall come down teaching (Torah given to Moses) 3. His death shall bring the despairing rest and comfort (death of Jesus and fulfilment of Matt 11:28-29)

Incredibly thorough and well explained. Thank you for sharing your research!

Awsome Research Mat, u went thru Great Lengths and Effort from start to finish, i Realy Apreciate the Info❤😊 Thank You Very Much🎉

Possessing a secular interest in biblical history I have always struggled with the genealogy of the people involved and chronology of their stores. Your concise explanation and tolerance of scientific data has made this a very informative and enjoyable journey for someone seeking for a better theological understanding. Thank you.

This is by far the best and most comprehensive genealogy chart and explanation of the Biblical generations. I was fascinated as the genealogy story unfolded. Excellent presentation.

I really appreciate all the hard work and research! Very well done

Awesome video! Will definitely download and watch again and again and probably again 😁🤩🙏🏻

A couple of things to add to this video. 1: Christian Literalist dates align with Protestant and Catholic beliefs, because their Torah is basically sourced from the Masoretic (it's a bit more complicated than that, but for the purposes of this discussion it's true). However, the Eastern and Oriental Orthodox Churches use the Septuagint (the Greek translation), which on average adds 100 years on the length of time between birth and birth of the child for each of the patriarchs (excluding Noah, Terah, and Abraham onwards). The Samaritans do a mix of the two, using what appear to be mostly Masoretic timelines from before the Flood and mostly Septuagint timelines for after the flood. 2: In the Septuagint Selah has a son named Cainan, and he is an interesting case study. He does not appear in the Masoretic or Samaritan Torah at all, and the earliest manuscripts of Luke omit him too. I'm not sure what made the Septuagint translators add Cainan on, though there might be a relation to the Book of Jubilees (apocryphal book considered canon to the Ethiopian Orthodox Church), which also has Cainan. Luke's mention is almost certainly either a scribal error (I believe on the older manuscripts there was a name that looked similar on the previous line of text, and the scribe might have accidentally copied his name twice) or was an overcorrect to align it closer to the Septuagint. 3: It's interesting that the Rabbis came to the conclusion that Exodus 12:40 originally read as "Egypt and Canaan", because that's what some non-denominational Christians have come to conclude using comparative analysis. The Septuagint, older copies of Josephus' body of work, and I believe the Samaritan all say "and Canaan" in those versions. 4: The Matthew genealogy of Jesus is potentially missing a name, because if you count the names for after the exile you only get 13. Now some think this gives credence to the theory that the Matthew genealogy is properly Mary's. The theory goes that Joseph son of Judah was originally the FATHER of Mary rather than her husband, citing the potential ambiguity of the Greek word used there which can mean both "man" and "father". Usually there's also claims of Matthew being originally authored in Hebrew, so there's potentially an element of mistranslation going on too. However, you could also just as easily say there's another ancestor mentioned there that a scribe missed. Both are possibilities worth considering.

The fact that this guy was able to make a chart AKA family tree of the Bible, means he just got my sub! Well done! 😊👍

Great video! I really appreciate your work. I've shared this with our college young adult class at church. I'm getting ready to watch your 37 Bible Characters Found Through Archaeology.... I think people who think this stuff is "fiction" don't want to see your videos because you prove them wrong and they have to take responsibility for the fact it's actually truth! Thanks again! Keep up the great work. 👍

I too have wanted to do this, so THANK You for making my life a bit easier 😂. Excelent, your best chart yet, I will have to buy this. What was also so good about this is how you gave some biblical and historical context. Great job!

Awesome! I love your channel. I'm not religious, though I spent my first 21 years in the church. No matter, I am always interested in history and especially learning about religions. I love how you format these videos, super non judgemental, and very informative.

Random little personal story: I actually had an ancestor named Zimri. My 5th (? Maybe 4th? I forget) great grandfather. I wonder why anyone would name their kid after a failed, hated king who was so stubborn and greedy for power that he literally went down in flames. Maybe it was that thing where parents name their child after someone they DON'T want their kid to be like? Maybe that was common in Appalachia? (That's where they lived) I'm not sure 🤷‍♀️😂 Maybe they just simply opened The Bible randomly and looked for a name, saw Zimri, and decided it was meant to be. I'm not sure what kind of man he was. There's not a lot of info on him. Except that he was a Union Civil War vet with Kidney Disease (info from his pension paperwork/record). I guess less info means he probably wasn't as bad as his namesake, at least 😂

I feel like this video summarizes the old testament of the bible quite well for a 35 minute video, definitely learned a lot. Thank you!

Absolutely Fantastic!!! Congratulation for this and thank you for sharing!!!

It looks on the Jewish timeline that you mixed up Noah and Seth, putting Seth as a descendant of Noah rather than the other way around, at roughly 34:45

This was so well done! I just started reading the book of Exodus and this chart was a very helpful visual

OMG , this is sooo funny ! Thank YOU !!! you have cheered up my day , please more.

Instead of a "literalist," I consider myself a serious Bible believer. Some of the Bible can be dated, as you have found, some cannot. More and more archeological evidence is being uncovered that helps to date and confirm biblical evidence. I don't need it believe, but it's nice to be able to add it to my data. I really am glad for your videos and your charts. I'll be ordering this one for my church. Thank you for your work. Very professional. 😊

It’s insane how much I look forwards to hearing the words “Hi I’m Matt Baker.”

THAT WAS BEAUTIFUL!!!! I'm going to go back and read some of scripture with that timeline in mind. I find the "minor Prophets" Rich with history but often hard to follow their context, who overlapped who, and when some of the many Kings mentioned ruled. This will help me visualize their placement in history. Thank you!

wow, Awesome Work, Thank You so much for this.

Very, very informative! Thank you so much for your vid~

I love your channel, you help me to piece together the most contraversial and eye opening map including every mythology and religion into the mix. And this one just takes the cake. Thank you

Thank you for this. I've always wanted to do this, but it's such a huge task. After watching this, I would have never touched half of the information you provided. This was great!!!

This is actually amazing to go through, Fantastic work

Second mistake I spotted: in the end of the video, you show the Jewish dates. Is there any chance you mixed Seth and Shem? You explain how "Seth" was born 500 years after Noah. The only Seth that I know of (and the only one on the chart) is Adam's and Eve's son, Noah's Ancestor. Shem would make much more sense in that context :)

I love how much research you put into your videos and make it easy to understand. And you included the Christian and Jewish timelines as well! Great work!

Being a prophet is the same as when you were younger and had no clue how to do the work but luckily the teacher starts of yours to show the rest of the class as an example

Excellent work, very helpful and great tools !

Wow, what an awesome visual display! Thank you so much for your time and effort in helping us understand the biblical genealogies. I am going to watch this many many more times!

A very excellent overview and presentation! This puts so much of the biblical narrative into historical perspective. Thanks for sharing!

Wow thank for your devotion and time we appreciate you

Well done sir....and thank you very much for the work and effort out in.

Thank you for the chart comes alive! I have always been looking for one.

This was so fascinating. Thank you for your time and knowledge in creating this masterpiece. I am thinking of purchasing for my church once I show them this video.

Thank you Brother. This is really very useful to understand.

Fantastic I've ordered several of these diagrams and other posters from the site you reference.

Good job, as usual, for being authoritative and accessible for a wide-ranging audience (including explaining the scholarly dating terminology and also not making a big deal of it)

Thank you for all your hard work to make this video!

What a great video! They always are! Really hate the BCE/CE stuff though. If a man can be born and literally spilt the calendar in two, he deserves to have his name on it.

The book of first Enoch and the book of jubilees confirms a lot of the genealogy that's in the Bible. In both books were in the Dead Sea scrolls in the biblical Canon. Awesome timeline in genealogy timeline map I really appreciate it ,thank you may God bless you and your channel.

another very enlightening video. Thanks for the work you put into these.

The work you put into each of your videos is impressive.

This is fantastic and such a great help!

Super presentation.. it will take days for me to learn this chart

Thanks it's great seeing it this way. Reading all this is tedious/confusing but seeing it like this makes it simplified

Totally, amazing! Informative! Interesting! Explained and laid out perfectly! Thank you so much

Thank you for doing this!!

Recently, our group studied the divided kingdoms. It was difficult to keep the names straight and whether they were from the northern kingdom or southern. Great chart!!

This is a really great detailed genealogy of the Bible. Thank you for your countless hours of research and work. I just purchased this from your website and subscribed to your channel. Keep up the good work, and looking forward to more chart videos

Very nice synthesis of your previous works in this series! This chart is very well thought out.

This is Awesome! Well done

Excellent presentation sir! I’m impressed!

Thankyou Matt great work. I started my chart in 1970 when I was 23yrs old and agree so much with what you have done. Little point of interest when secular and biblical dates coincide I was used to calling that an ‘absolute’ date. I worked on the year the Medes and Persians overthrew Babylon. The record of Nabonidus the father and coregent of Belshazzar made on a clay tablet states that event was Oct 5-6 539 B.C.E. according to the Gregorian calendar. So I was very close to you by getting Adams creation at 4026.

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Ordered 2 copies. One for myself & the other for my parents. I appreciate your time & hard work 🙏

Thank you so much for this! I have just started reading Genesis and find the lineage really interesting

Great video. Thanks for the breakdown

Amazing - the entire OT (+ more) diagrammed and articulated in 35 minutes. Fantastic work sir.

Thanks, Matt, for this wonderful chart. Lots of information although I wish there's more on Babylonian Exilarch side from the line of Hananya ben Zerubbabel at least few names until 1258. Anyway, thank you for such informative table including inter family marriages within the tribe which is still practiced in order to preserve the bloodline.

One of the most interesting and useful channels on youtube. Thank you. I hope you are a professor somewhere. btw, you and the Lockpicking Lawyer sound very much alike.

Great work, man!

This is truly amazing how you have put all this together. Thank you.

Love how you teach! Love the maps and info about the judges. Hope you continue on after judges and go through Samuel and the kings! Thank you. Looking forward to more❤!

WoW, this is excellent. Thank you

Also, thank you for making this chart. All the connections between people and the extra-Biblical sources to support the evidence are very helpful

Man you put a LOT of time doing your research! Thank you brother! 🙏🏻

I am not religious anymore but I gotta respect the work put into this. Fascinating stuff!

Waoooo, my respect for this erudites who God has given this patience, time, and knowledge. I tried this and I felt overwhelmed in a few weeks.

WOW!!! That was amazing! Thank you so much, Matt!!! 🙂

This is excellent! Thanks for all your hard work putting this together, it's amazing ❤

Omg brother thank you 🙏🏼 thank you soooooo much !

Very Well explained. Thank you.

Thank you for this great chart! Just one question/suggestion/criticism: Why do you leave out Dinah? We know nothing of her progeny, but she still is a daughter of Jacob and imo deserves to be mentioned. More so than many others on this chart who don't even have a narrative connected to their name.

You're videos are fabulous! Thank you for all of your hard work!

Love the Arthur Szyk portraits starting I think with Deborah and Ruth. Great presentation.

Just discovered this stunning channel. Great work!

Wonderfully made video! Although I grew up religious I consider myself agnostic these days, and religious history is incredibly interesting as it predates my typical historical study times. You've made me want to research more into all of this. Great chart too.

Good work. I Appreciated very much that you included the KUSHITE PHARAOHS in the chronology. Because no one talk about they existence and those who mention it are always ridiculed and silenced.

430 years counts since Abraham was 75. They had lived in Egypt and Canaan for 430 years.

The "year" has not been a standard unit over the centuries. It has changed several times. It may also refer to a lunar calendar vs a solar calendar.

Bravo !! The amount and detail of info presented here is astonishing. A wonderful and clear chronological study.

So much history from each of those kids I love this

This is brilliant. I've studied on the book of Exodus and the similarity is mind blowing

It makes sense you didn't mention her bc she's not that big a deal, but you should at least include Rahab's name on the chart idk, it feels like she deserves to be shown, she's one of Boaz's grandmas I think
