b. Abraham learns of his brother Nahor's family - Genesis 22:20-24
c. Death of Sarah (127 years) - Genesis 23:1-20

As I have been reading along - and typing out the outline - I found it interesting how long those who were either on the ark, or born soon after continued to live.  For instance Noah got off the ark, yet lived to see the Tower of Babel and the ensuing disruption due to the lack of obedience.

As a preacher of righteousness this must have been deeply troubling to him.

Using Reese's calculations each of those listed below died on or about the time stated:

2319 B.C. - Ark departure (give or take)
2032 B.C. - Nimrod
1979 B.C. - Peleg
1978 B.C. - Nahor I
1969 B.C. - Noah ~ so he was still around!  He outlived Peleg!  Telling HIS story!
1926 B.C. - Serug
1892 B.C. - Terah
1879 B.C. - Arphaxad
1849 B.C. - Salah
1830 B.C. - Sarah
1827 B.C. - Job - he was still around after Abraham and Isaac were on the scene.
1817 B.C. - Shem - he was on the ark, he was still around telling what happened!
1792 B.C. - Abraham
1788 B.C. - Eber
1744 B.C. - Ishmael

I have gone waaaay past the outline for today with the death chronology. :-D  Thought provoking though about how lives overlap.  An exhortation to all of us.  Our lives are overlapping others, what does Father want us to say and/or do for those that we come in contact?
