Read Lightfoot's conclusions for yourself, his works and its translation are public domain.

His work A Few and New Observations upon the Book of Genesis [LINK] starts on page 333 of this volume (2).

It's a good example of a literal hermanutical method gone bad.

If the answer was "Where was Jesus born?", will all bible readers reply the same answer?

then...

why give here different answer??

How old then can we all agree on?

Because not everyone believes the bible either in part or the whole. Those who do not believe get their answers from the secular world or make up their own understandings.
