A:We do not need to believe that Solomon ever lived, any more than we need to believe that there really was an Exodus from Egypt as described in The Bible, but we can establish from the biblical text when the Exodus would have occurred. The Bible confidently states that Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt 480 years before the fourth year of Solomon's reign, which would therefore be approximately 1444 BCE.

Because archaeological evidence has made the traditional date of the Exodus untenable, some liberal Christians have suggested that the Exodus really took place shortly before 1200 BCE, when Israelites are known to have begun to arrive in the Palestinian hinterland. Some modern Jews generally believe an intermediate date of round 1313 BCE, based on moving Solomon's reign forward into the eighth century. However, such a dramatic change to the chronology would conflict with established Near Eastern history.

When did Moses lead Israelite's from Egypt?

A:The Bible confidently states that Moses led the Israelites out of Egypt 480 years before the fourth year of Solomon's reign, which would therefore be approximately 1444 BCE. Because archaeological evidence has made the traditional date of the Exodus untenable, some liberal Christians have suggested that the Exodus really took place shortly before 1200 BCE, when Israelites are known to have begun to arrive in the Palestinian hinterland.Some modern Jews have also sought to redate the Exodus from Egypt, and prefer a date around 1313 BCE.The noted archaeologist, Israel Finkelstein, states that over 90 per cent of scholars believe there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible, and that Moses did not lead the Israelites to Canaan. On this view, a date can not be given.
