Updated timeline dates to use Masoretic text with gap-allowing interpretation of Genesis 5 and 11 genealogies as primary framework: Major date changes: - Creation/Adam: 11,013 BC (was 4004 BC) - The Flood: 4,990 BC (was 2348 BC) - Patriarchs: Adjusted dates with c. 2500 BC for Abraham - Birth of Christ: 7 BC (was c. 4 BC) The 'begat' (yalad) interpretation allows for generational gaps except where textual markers like 'he named him' indicate direct father-son relationships. Updated chronology note explains both Masoretic (primary) and Ussher (alternative) approaches, clarifying that both use the same biblical text but differ in genealogical interpretation. Later historical dates (Exile, Return, etc.) remain anchored to archaeological evidence. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
