Best Answer
A:

The Book of Genesis is not really a book of history: it is a book of legends and traditions. However, we can work back through the biblical genealogies to estimate the time elapsed between the story of the creation of Adam to the story of the death of Joseph, which ends the book. This is approximately 2300 years.
