The Bible does not provide a specific number of years between the Great Flood and the Tower of Babel. According to the Bible, the Great Flood occurred during the time of Noah, while the Tower of Babel incident happened several generations later, during the time of Nimrod. Based on the genealogies provided in the Bible, estimates suggest that it could have been several hundred years between the two events.
John Romer (Testament: The Bible and History) says that the Greek historian Herodotus visited Babylon about 450BCE and saw the Tower of Babel, in fact a great brick ziggurat, still served by a large priesthood, as it had been for thousands of years. The ziggurats, huge stepped pyramids, were thought to hold the way to heaven. To the exiled Jews, a hundred years before Herodotus, it must really have seemed almost to go to heaven. The Jews were just one ethnic group among many that were sent into exile by Nebuchadnezzar, so the insular Jews were suddenly confronted by this dazzling Tower of Babylon and the discovery that the world spoke many languages, most of which were incomprehensible to them.The priests of Babylon were constantly ascending and descending the ziggurat's central staircase. Romer believes Jacob's Ladder in Genesis was no doubt originally the brick staircase of a ziggurat.
According to tradition, the Flood was in 2104 BCE, and Sodom was destroyed in 1713 BCE. See also:Evidence of the Flood
According to Archbishop James Ussher's chronology done in the 17th century, Adam was created 4,000 years before Jesus or 4,004 BC which equates to 1 Anno Mundus (year of the World).Noah's Flood occurred in this timeline 2344 BC when Noah was 600 years old. This would be 1656 Anno Mundus or the length of time between the creation of Adam and the start of the Flood.
The flood, as described in the Bible, is traditionally believed to have occurred around 2,348 BC. The birth of Christ is generally accepted to have taken place around 4 BC. Therefore, there are approximately 2,352 years between the flood and the birth of Christ. It is important to note that these dates are based on historical and religious interpretations and may vary slightly depending on different sources and calendars.
After. The story of Noah and the Flood in Genesis comes before the story of Abraham and the descent into Egypt. According to tradition, Abraham was born 292 years after the Flood.
According to the Bible, the flood occurred during the time of Noah, while the story of the Tower of Babel follows several generations later. The time between the flood and the Tower of Babel is not explicitly specified, but it is thought to span many years, possibly centuries.
Noah's ark (Gen 6) happened many years before the tower of Babel (Gen 11). Gen 11 discusses the flood as a past event. In the Tower of Babel narrative God does not destroy the tower nor the people but alters people's language so they cannot understand each other.
That is difficult to estimate, but here are some considerations... The tower of Babel was built somewhere between 2247 BC and 952 BC. [1] Abraham was born and died between: approx 2000 B.C. and 1500 B.C. [2] At age 175, Abraham dies and is buried in Macpelah [2] so... to ballpark it... If the Tower of Babel was finished being built in 1600 BC and If Abraham was born in 1750 BC and died in 1575 BC then... Abraham would have been 150 years old when the Tower of Babel was finished.
It would appear from the Book of Jasher that Shem was not at the tower of Babel. He lived with Noah for the rest of Noah's life away from the pagan idol worship of the day. Abraham lived with them a number of years to learn the one true and living God and the correct ways to worship Him. Book of Jasher Ch.9
