How long was the time from the Tower of Babel to the call of Abraham?

The time from the Tower of Babel to the call of Abraham was approximately 200 years. This period follows roughly 200 years between the flood and Babel, placing Abraham’s call at the midpoint of a broader timeline that runs from Adam to Abraham.

Les explains that the biblical timeline is given in approximations: from Adam to the flood is about 600 years, from the flood to the Tower of Babel is about 200 years, and from the Tower of Babel to the call of Abraham is another approximate 200 years. He notes that Abraham’s call is at the midpoint of this overall timeline. During the period from Adam until Abraham, God dealt with one race of people.
