     Abraham was 86 years old when Ishmael was born (Genesis 16).  He was 99 years old when the covenant was made (Genesis 17:1) and was at least 110 when God told him to offer his only son Isaac as a sacrifice (Genesis 22).  Abraham remarried at the age of 140+ and had more children (Genesis 25:1).  He died at the age of 175 (Genesis 25:7).

     Sarah was 10 years younger than her husband Abraham.  She was 65 years old when taken into Pharaoh's harem (Genesis 12) and 89 years old when taken into Abimelech's harem (Genesis 20).  Sarah was about 90 when Isaac was born (Genesis 21).  She died at the age of 127 (Genesis 23:1).

     Issac was 40 years old when he married Rebekah (Genesis 25:20) and was 60 when Esau and Jacob were born (Genesis 25:26).  Isaac died at the age of 180 (Genesis 35:28).

     Jacob died at the age of 147 (Genesis 47:9; 49:33).  Joseph died at 110 (Genesis 50:26).

     The average life span before the flood was 912 years.  After the flood, however, the average life span was only 222 years.
