Bible Timeline
One day I was wanting to review a quick timeline of bible history for quick reference but couldn't find a good one on the net. This is what I came up with. I put one together myself. I don't of course list everyone in the bible that lived, but those that pertain to those I study. If you see any mistakes don't hesitate to post or correct them.

Noah had Shem, Ham, Japheth in 3000 BC
Noah commissioned his firstborn son Shem to be the family high priest. Shem later established a school at Mariah that became the central place for Torah study for the post-flood generation. According to tradition, Shem called the place Shelem, "perfect" or the bedrock at Moriah. Moriah was called Even ha-Shetiyah, "the foundation stone", referring to the creation of the earth on the first day Isaiah 28:16. Later Abraham called the place Adonai Yireh (God will provide). Mariah was renamed by combining these two to form Jerusalem. Abraham was shown Zion, "The mountain of the Lord" and the future site of the Temple as well as the crucifixion.
Nephilim appears - this one I will not attempt to explain, but it's sure a good study.
2500 BC - Flood 150 days, on the 7th month 17th-day ark rested on Ararat, the water receded 10th month+40 days open the ark. Just hope I came close to getting this one right. Give me some mercy here.

People began now to eat meat and before they were plant eaters.
Covenant was first recognized here. God made a covenant with Noah, but not just Noah, but with every living creature, that was with them - bird, livestock and wild animals. A rainbow will be set in the clouds, it will be a sign of the covenant between me and God and the earth. Man and every creature. He then planted a vineyard.

Jacob goes to Uncle and finds a wife from his own clan, marries Leah, then Rachel has an encounter with God. He understands that he now has to know God himself, not just the God of his fathers.
