- Date of His Birth and Death . Moses was born in Egypt two thousand four hundred and thirty-three years after the creation of Adam: #It was (130 + 105 + 90 + 70 + 65 + 162 + 65 + 187 + 182 = 1056) one thousand and fifty-six years from the creation of Adam to Noah ( Genesis 5:3-29 ). #It was (500 + 100 + 2 = 602) six hundred and two years from the birth of Noah to the birth of Arphaxad ( Genesis 5:32; Genesis 7:6; Genesis 11:10 ). #It was (35 + 30 + 34 + 30 + 32 + 30 + 29 = 220) two hundred and twenty years from the birth of Arphaxad to the birth of Terah ( Genesis 11:12-24 ). #It was (130) one hundred and thirty years from the birth of Terah to the birth of Abram ( Genesis 11:32; Genesis 12:1-4; Acts 7:1-4 ). #It was (100) one hundred years from the birth of Abram to the birth of Isaac ( Genesis 21:5 ). #It was (60) sixty years from the birth of Isaac to the birth of Jacob ( Genesis 25:26 ). #It was (91) ninety-one years from the birth of Jacob to the birth of Joseph ( Genesis 41:46,53,54; Genesis 45:4-6; Genesis 47:9 ). #It was (110) one hundred and ten years from the birth of Joseph to his death ( Genesis 50:26 ). #It was (64) sixty-four years from the death of Joseph to the birth of Moses ( Genesis 12:1-4; Genesis 21:5; Genesis 25:26; Genesis 41:46,53,54; Genesis 45:6; Genesis 47:9; Genesis 50:26; Exodus 7:7; Exodus 12:40,41; Galatians 3:17 ). (1056 + 602 + 220 + 130 + 100 + 60 + 91 + 110 + 64 = 2433).
