The Bible does not give a direct answer to this common question. Yet it does leave us with some observations. When we study the Scriptures, it becomes clear that the length of a generation differs from one historic period to the next. We find that the generation of the earlier history of man were longer, because people lived longer and tended to marry later in life.
One of the genealogies in the New Testament says this: "So all the generation from Abraham to David are fourteen generation, from David until the captivity in Babylon are fourteen generation, and from the captivity in Babylon until the Christ are fourteen generation " (Matt. 1:17, NKJV). Each of these three groupings were summed up as 14 generations. Yet, they did not last the same number of years. In fact, the average generation in the period from Abraham to David was approximately 64 years, but the average generation from David to the Babylonian captivity and from that captivity to Christ was about 38 years.
The term " generation " may have other meanings too. The " generation " that sees Christ's return, for example, refers to all the people living at that time.

How did the first Bible come out?
The bible (or collection of books) was a collection of stories that had been passed down from generation to generation. Eventually some people wrote parts of the bible down, and these parts were copied over and over, while the method of verbal translation still existed. Eventually someone collected enough of these books to call it the bible. (Probably the Jewish bible to start.) The bible continued to be revised and updated throughout the years. By the time of the printing press, versions of the bible had been 'standardized'. More standardized versions of the Bible continued to be developed. Note that the Islam developed from Christianity which developed from Judaism, so the first bible was either one of Judaism or a still earlier religion.
