When was Moses alive according to a literal interpretation of the Bible?
Jkmyoung
It is generally accepted by Christians that the Israelite journey into Egypt would have taken place about 1870 BCE. According to Genesis, Moses' grandfather, Kohath, was alive when the Israelites travelled to Egypt and lived 133 years, while Moses' father, Amran, lived 137 years. We do not know how old Kohath was when he went to Egypt, but if he and his son Amran were capable of fathering a child at any time between puberty and the year of their deaths, then Moses was born between about 1855-1600 BCE and, living to 120 years old, died between 1735 and 1480 BCE.
The Bible literally tells us that the Exodus from Egypt took place approximately 1444 BCE, based on 1 Kings 6:1, which states that the Exodus was 480 years before the fourth year of Solomon's reign. Moses lived a further forty years so, and living to the age of 120 years, was born approximately 1524 BCE and died approximately 1404 BCE.
