How many generations from Adam to Jesus?

Answer 1

Shem is stated to have fathered his first son, Arpachshad, two years after the Deluge (2368 B.C.E.) when he, Shem, was 100 years old. (Genesis 11:10) Following the birth of Arpachshad, other sons (and also daughters) were born to Shem, including Elam, Asshur, Lud, and Aram (Abraham) (Genesis 10:22; 11:11)

Answer 2

It appears to be 19 generations.

Adam, Seth, E′nosh, Ke′nan, Ma‧hal′a‧lel, Ja′red, E′noch, Me‧thu′se‧lah, La′mech, Noah, Shem, Arpachshad, Shelah, Eber, Peleg, Reu, Serug, Nahor, Terah, Abram (Abraham). (Genesis 4:25-5:29)(Genesis 11:10-26)

The beginning of the answer is found in Genesis 5. If one uses the rule of 30 years, then this question is indeterminate because it is not certain how long each generation was at that time. We see that each man lived a very long time, so a timeline is possible, but not as we see it today. The number of men listed in Genesis 5 is 10: Adam, Seth, Enosh, Cainan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methusaleh, Lamech, and Noah.

Skipping over to Genesis 11-10, we see the continuation of the geneology. The number of men listed is 10 : Shem (Noah's son), Arphaxad, Salah, Eber, Peleg, Reu, Serug, Nahor, Terah, and Abram.

It says later in The Bible that there were 14 generations between Adam and Abraham, 14 between Abraham and David, and 14 between David and the exile.

Answer 3

Nine generations: Adam to Seth, Seth to Enosh, Enosh to Kenan, Kenan to Mahalalel, Mahalalel to Jared, Jared to Enoch, Enoch to Methuselah, Methuselah to Lamech, and Lamech to Noah. (Genesis 5:3-28)

Answer 4

It depends on when "Adam", the first human was said to have been born. In the million years since early homo sapiens first emerged from East Africa's Rift Valley to now, is around 50,000 generations.

Answer 7

Seventy-seven

Answer 8

If you count Shem, 10 generations to Abraham.

Answer 9

The Queen of England (Queen Elizabeth II) has a lineage that goes back to Noah—which is fairly well-known based on the six Anglo-Saxon royal houses (Anglia, Kent, Lindsey, Mercia, Northumbria, and Wessex). Noah was the 10th generation from Adam. This works out that in some families, it could be less than 80 generations (some families live long and procreate late). For other families, it could by much more.
