Conditional birth estimate
Conditional birth bounds under generation assumptions; not attested parental ages, biological limits or a lifespan.
The anchors give incompatible conditional intervals. This calculation establishes no birth year.
Below are relatives with a selected birth year, the generations separating them, and the interval allowed by each anchor. Each relative’s page shows available dates and sources. The overall estimate uses the intersection of the allowed intervals.

Hazarmaveth is mentioned in the Table of Nations in Genesis and 1 Chronicles as a son of Joktan, who was a descendant of Shem, one of Noah's three sons. The Table of Nations is a genealogical record of the descendants of Noah's sons after the Great Flood, representing the known nations and peoples of the ancient world. Joktan's descendants, including Hazarmaveth, are associated with the peoples of the Arabian Peninsula. The name Hazarmaveth is believed to be preserved in the name of the region of Hadhramaut in southern Arabia. No further information is provided about Hazarmaveth in the Bible. (Gen 10:26; 1Ch 1:20).
Court of death, the third son of Joktan, and a region in Arabia-Felix settled by him (Gen. 10:26; 1 Chr. 1:20). It is probably the modern province of Hadramaut, situated on the Indian Ocean east of the modern Yemen.
