How Long Is A Generation?
ranrae:
Hello All,
I am doing some personal research and have a question. Can someone please tell me, about how long a generation is? According to the Bible, it could be 40,60,70,80 or 100 years. Can someone come close to the right number for me?
God Bless!
Randy

Hi and welcome!
I always thought it was grandparent, parent, child= 3 generations.
I think different cultures count it differently also. I have never seen anything that states biblically tho. I know some of our posters will help out. There is a lot of wisdom and smarts on this forum, and especially love!! Again, welcome.

That is not what I mean. I want to know how many years are in a generation.
Thank You any way!
