I have also built up a quite substantial home library that I use for reference. I understand theological concepts and the philosophy of religion, and am confident in comparing and explaining the theology and history of a whole range of religions, not merely the major Abrahamic religions on which I have published over 70 substantial online articles.

When did the Exodus happen?

Other Answers According to the Bible around 1441 BC. Answer The Exodus of the Israelites from Egypt occurred 1446BC. Answer The Exodus took p…lace in 1446BC (according to the dating by Bishop Ussher), and 1447BC (according to Barry Setterfield). Answer from WikipediaThe Biblical date: c. 1440 BCE According to 1 Kings 6, the Exodus occurred in the 480th year before Solomon began to build the First Temple in the 4th year of his reign...... -- places the fourth year of Solomon's reign somewhere between 1016 and 966 BCE, and the Exodus between 1496 and 1446 BCE. "Late" Exodus: c. 1200 BCE Excavations by William F. Albright in the 1930s failed to find traces of the simultaneous destruction of Canaanite cities c.1400 BCE which could be expected from an Exodus c.1440 BCE and the arrival of the Israelites in Canaan forty years later as described in the Book of Joshua; this was confirmed by Kathleen Kenyon's careful excavations in the 1950s at Jericho, "Early" Exodus: before 1500 BCE The expulsion of the Hyksos from Egypt c.1540 BCE has been advanced as a plausible origin for the Biblical Exodus For full text see link Exodus Wikipedia Answer Since the story is not historical in modern terms, finding a modern answer for when the event happened is impossible. Nevertheless, enough historical information can be weaned from the story of the Exodus, that one may see that the events described harken back to some early memories which have conjoined into a national epic over time. The historical nuggets behind the exodus are: The massive war and expulsion of the Semitic Hyksos from Egypt to Canaan by pharaoh Ahmoses, and the historical memories of the Habiru (Hebrew) quarymen in Ramesside Egypt, and the Egyptian control over the land of Canaan for 400 years. The Israelites are mentioned in 1210 BC by pharaoh Merneptah, therefore The events of the Exodus can be traceable to a late bronze age era, between 1540 and 1210 BC. Answer According to the biblical genealogies, the Exodus from Egypt would have to have been around 1440 BCE. However, archaeologists say that the Palestinian hinterland that was to become the Hebrew homeland, was only sparsely populated until around 1220 BCE, when a gradual increase in the population began to occur. There is a discrepancy of about two centuries. Answer According to the biblical genealogies, a timeline followed by most conservative Christians, the Exodus from Egypt took place around 1440 BCE. However, the Amarna Letters, preserved in Egypt from the middle of the thirteenth century BCE, show that Palestine was still under full Egyptian control more than a hundred years later, with petty Canaanite kings located in each city. Archaeologists say that the Israelites appear to have arrived in Palestine some time before 1205 BCE, but without any great military conquest as described in the Bible. The explanation for this is that scholars say that there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. Answer Nobody really knows, but Jewish tradition holds that it was around 1300 BCE. It's not possible to know exactly when or if it happened, but some estimates place it at around 1400 BCE Between 1300-1200 B.C. (MORE)
