Composed in Talmudic Israel/Babylon (c.200 - c.500 CE). Seder Olam Rabbah (The Great Order of the World) is a 2nd-century CE Hebrew language chronology detailing the dates of biblical events from the Creation to Alexander the Great's conquest of Persia. Originally Seder Olam was a more extensive work dealing with the post-Alexandrian period. Instead the period from Alexander to Hadrian is condensed into the end of chapter 30. It adds no stories beyond what is in the biblical text, and addresses such questions as the age of Isaac at the binding and the number of years that Joshua led the Israelites. In its present form the Seder Olam Rabbah consists of 30 chapters, each 10 chapters forming a section, or gate. Tradition considers it to have been written about 160 CE by Yose ben Halafta, which is not unreasonable, but it was probably also supplemented and edited at a later period.
