Lets see if we can get even one educated Christian.?

Question

How old was Abraham when he left Haran?

Some1 said and the point of Q? Well the point is very simple.
Either he was 75 or over 135 a, few ppl answered correctly according to bible not to their own imagination.
Well If bible is word of GOD than those calculations should be synchronized.
Unless not every1 who wrote the bible was inspired after all.

Answer 1

Acts 7:4 says that Abram didn't leave Haran until after his father died.
Gen.11:26 says that Abram's father was 70 years old when Abram was born, and Abram's father lived to be 205 (11:32). Clearly, then, Abram was at least 135 when he left Haran. Yet Gen.12:4 says he left Haran when he was only 75.

Hows that? To beat it all I wouldn't call myself a Christian but a spiritual person.

Answer 2

Trick question. Abram was 75 years old when he left Haran. Genesis 12:4.

Abram's name was changed to Abraham when he was 99 (Genesis 17:1-5), long after he left Haran.

Abram (Abraham) was 75 when he left Haran. Genesis 12:4.
He was not 135 as one other poster suggested. This relies on a faulty assumption that Abraham was born the same year as Haran, when Terah was 70 years old. It's much more likely that Abraham was born 60 years later, when Terah was 130, thus making Abraham 75 at Terah's death and when he left Haran.

The names of Terah's sons in Genesis 11:26 are not necessarily listed in chronological order. To illustrate, consider the listing of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham and Japheth (Gen. 6:10). But we know that Ham was Noah's youngest son (Gen. 9:22, 24) and Japheth was Shem's older brother (Gen. 10:21). Therefore, even though Shem is listed first, he wasn't the first born. LIkewise with Abraham, even though he was listed first among Terah's sons, it doesn't necessarily mean he was the oldest. The reason Shem and Abram are listed first is to show their importance in God's redemptive plan. The lineage of Jesus is through Noah, Shem and Abraham.

Answer 3

First off the bible is not writen to day in the order of the dates that it actually occured. Most people do not know the exact dates when things in the old testament happened. So we are not exactly sure. It is said that he was about 75 years old when he left Haran.

Answer 4

His name at that time was not abraham, it was Abram. God had not changed his name at this point in his life yet. Good trick question though.

Genesis 12:4 So Abram departed, as the LORD had spoken unto him; and Lot went with him: and Abram was seventy and five years old when he departed out of Haran.

Answer 5

75 Gen 12

Answer 6

Abram was 75 years old when he left Haran.

Answer 7

Sorry, I don't know off the top of my head. Is there a reason that the age of Abraham when he left Haran is important?

Answer 8

He was 75 years old, though at the time he was still being called by the name of Abram, his name didn't change to Abraham until later at Genesis 17:3.
Genesis 12:4-5 : At that A′bram went just as Jehovah had spoken to him, and Lot went with him. And A′bram was seventy-five years old when he went out from Ha′ran. 5 So A′bram took Sar′ai his wife and Lot the son of his brother and all the goods that they had accumulated and the souls whom they had acquired in Ha′ran, and they got on their way out to go to the land of Ca′naan. Finally they came to the land of Ca′naan.

Answer 9

75 genesis 12:4

Answer 10

Abraham is a mythical person. He never was at nor left Haran.
