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.

Mehujael Summary STEPBible TIPNR

Mehujael was a descendant of Cain and the father of Methushael.

Mehujael Article STEPBible TIPNR

Mehujael is mentioned in the genealogy of Cain, the son of Adam and Eve who was cursed for murdering his brother Abel. Mehujael was the son of Irad and the father of Methushael (Gen 4:18). The genealogy in Genesis 4 traces the descendants of Cain, highlighting the development of civilization and the increasing wickedness of humanity, which eventually led to the judgment of the flood. Mehujael's name is of Hebrew origin and can be translated as "smitten by God" or "blot out that Jah is God," possibly reflecting the growing rebellion against God among Cain's descendants.
