How many generations between Adam and Abraham? |
[Edit] |
[Edit] 
The beginning of the answer is found in Genesis 5. If one uses the rule of 30 years, then this question is indeterminate because it is not certain how long each generation was at that time. We see that each man lived a very long time, so a timeline is possible, but not as we see it today. The number of men listed in Genesis 5 is 10: Adam, Seth, Enosh, Cainan, Mahalalel, Jared, Enoch, Methusaleh, Lamech, and Noah.
Skipping over to Genesis 11-10, we see the continuation of the geneology. The number of men listed is 10 : Shem(Noah's so), Arphaxad, Salah, Eber, Peleg, Reu, Serug, Nahor, Terah, and Abram.
It says later in the bible that there were 14 generations between Adam and Abraham, 14 between Abraham and David, and 14 between David and the exile.
