What is an approximate date of origin for the founding Judaism's?

Answer 1

Considerable Disagreement exists among scholars for the founding of Judaism. Some would have it founded by Abraham at a date between 2,400 BC and 1,700 B.C. Some would place it with Moses and his escape from Egypt at 1290 B.C. Some would start it with the House of David around 1,000 B.C. Some would use the date of 721 B.C. when the Assyrians sent Second Ezras to Babylon and he wrote The Bible from memory. Some would use the date of 586 B.C. when Jerusalem fell and one of Jeremiah's followers, Seraiah, finally convinced the Jews to abandon their idols. It could be around 400 B.C. when the Old Testament was finally almost complete. Read the story. Do you start at the beginning when God said, "Go!" Do you say it began at the end when all the idols were smashed?
