The Ancient Jewish Timeline from Creation to Moses

Seder Olam Zutta 1:1

From Adam until the Flood was one thousand six hundred and fifty-six years. And from the Flood until the Dispersion was three hundred and forty years, which is the year one thousand nine hundred and ninety-six from Creation. And from the Dispersion until our father Isaac was born was fifty-two years, which is the year two thousand and forty-eight from Creation. From when our father Isaac was born until Israel went out from Egypt was four hundred years, which is the year two thousand four hundred and forty-eight from Creation. And the forty years that Israel were in the wilderness, this is the year two thousand four hundred and eighty-eight from Creation.
