In the study of Sacred Scripture some people believe that the
Exodus of Israel from Egypt is myth and other people believe the
Exodus of Israel from Egypt is a historic event. For people that
hold the position that the Exodus of Israel is a historic event the
Sacred Scripture timeline is as follows. Using 968 BC (Saint Joseph
Edition of the New American Bible, p.329, note 6,1) as the fourth
year of Solomon's reign the Exodus event would have occurred
approximately 1448 BC (968 BC + 480 years equals 1448 BC).
According to Exodus 12: 40-42 Israel spent 430 years in Egypt
therefore Israel entry into Egypt is approximately 1878 BC (968 BC
+ 480 years + 430 years equals 1878 BC). Overall from a Sacred
Scripture perspective Israel time in Egypt is from approximately
1878 BC to approximately 1448 BC. The author of this book using
graphical analysis of Sacred Scripture text, human reasoning, and
numerical analysis suggests that 1Kings 6:1 is in error by
approximately 170 to 450 years. An error of 450 years could
potentially place Israel entry into Egypt as far back as
approximately 2328 BC (968BC + 480 years + 430 years + 450 years
equals 2328 BC). For people that hold to the position that the
Exodus of Israel from Egypt is a historic event 1Kings 6:1 error
potentially opens a greater period of Egyptian history to their
argument: The Old Kingdom; 2686 - 2181 BC1; p.31 The First
Intermediate Period; 2181 - 2040 BC1; p.69 The Middle Kingdom; 2040
- 1782 BC1; p.69 The Second Intermediate Period; 1782 - 1570 BC1;
p.69 The New Kingdom; 1570 - 1070 BC1; p.991Chronicle of the
Pharaohs, Peter A. Clayton, Thames and Hudson, ISBN 0-500-28628-0
