In the above and following tables we omit the Samaritan computation, and adopt the Hebrew as interpreted by Usher, as the question of the true chronology in modern times is considered to lie between the latter and the Septuagint. The next table exhibits, according to these two systems, the extent of the first three ages of the world. TABLE IX. AGES OF THE WORLD. HEBREW. SEPTUAGINT. Years. Years.

Hence, the Exodus took place in A.M. 3840, according to the computation of the Septuagint.[22] CHAPTER V. EXTENT OF THE FOURTH AGE OF THE WORLD.
