There are three major textual traditions for the chronogenealogies of Genesis 5 and 11:
1. the Masoretic text (MT),
2. Samaritan Pentateuch (SP),
3. Septuagint (LXX). 

Comparisons of the three texts side-by-side show some
important differences.
But there is also the Book of Jubilees. How does that compare?

What are the differences? And why? How did such discrepancies find their way into the text? 
In this video we will discuss all this and more with our special guest, Onieh Safirboal.
