Isaac, the aforementioned, lived 60 years until the begetting of children, who begat Jacob; Jacob lived 130 years until the migration that occurred into Egypt, of which we have spoken above, and the sojourn of the Hebrews in Egypt was 430 years, and after they went out from the land of Egypt they spent 40 years in the so-called desert. So the total becomes 3038 years, at which time, when Moses died, Joshua son of Nun succeeded to rule, who presided over them for 27 years.

Then foreigners ruled over them for 40 years. Then Samson judged them for 20 years. Then there was peace among them for 40 years. Then Samgar judged them for one year, Eli for 20 years, Samuel for 12 years. And after the judges there were kings among them, the first named Saul, who reigned 20 years, then David our forefather 40 years. So the total becomes 498 years until the reign of David.
