All times are pretty much 'guesstimates', since I wasn't there...

Genesis around 1445 B.C. by Moses

Revelation about 90 A.D.

But there is about a 600 yr. lapse between the old and new testaments, so the best guess would be between 1500 - 1600 years.

Over a period of approx 1,610 years. But there was a 500 year gap before Matthew wrote the Gospel that bears his name.
