Abstract
From the analyses presented by Nicholaides and by Hayward and Casebolt, it is most reasonable to conclude that Moses did not have precise chronological data for about half the individuals listed in chapters 5 and 11 of Genesis, and that where the data available to him was uncertain, he gave rounded estimates to the nearest five or ten years. Readers who are not familiar with chi-squared statistical treatment may find it helpful to note that the probabilities for six and seven out of ten randomly selected numbers being divisible by 5 is one chance in 182 and one chance in 1272, respectively. The probability of six out of ten randomly selected numbers being divisible by 10 is only one chance in 7258.
