FOOTNOTES:
==========
(1) This is according to the count of our Gemara. However, according to the
count that we follow, the Rosh Hashanah of Creation is counted not as year
0, but as year 1, because we add a "Shenas Tohu," a "year of nothingness" to
the calculation of the years. See Insights.
(2) This is consistent with the list of the years of the generations
enumerated in Parshas Bereishis (Rashi 9a, DH Hachi Garsinan).
(3) This is consistent with the list of the years of the generations
enumerated in Parshas Noach (Rashi ibid.).
(4) This is the tradition that the Chachamim received (Gemara here).
(5) As recorded in the verse (Bereishis 21:5).
(6) As recorded in the verse (Bereishis 15:13).
(7) As recorded in the verse (Melachim I 6:1).
(8) As recorded in Seder Olam.
(9) As recorded in the verse (Yirmeyahu 29:10).
