When did Moses receive the Ten Commandments?

Answer 1

Answer 1

1446 BC I believe, according to a time line I found online. Not sure if its totally dependable though.

Answer 2

One date which differs a little, although using exactly the same principles, as mentioned below, is that of 1440 BC. This is commonly referred to as the 'early date' for the Exodus and subsequent giving of the law and is in the same general range as the others. 1 Kings 6:1 (King James Version)

1And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.

The date can be calculated based on a 961BC date for Solomons Temple, we then add the 480 years which arrives at 1441 BC for the Exodus. The 10 Commandments would have been received some time after that - probably in 1440 or later in 1441, depending on which month the Exodus began in. The verse below indicates it took 3 months to travel from Egypt to Sinai where the commandments were given to Moses.

Exodus 19:1 (King James Version)

1In the third month, when the children of Israel were gone forth out of the land of Egypt, the same day came they into the wilderness of Sinai.

Answer 3

Depending on how the chronology is calculated, it appears that he was given the ten commandments about the year 1513 BC.

Bible chronology is computed by counting bible periods from the known dates of corresponding prominent historical events.

A key date in calculating/extrapolating Bible dates is the date of the overthrow of the city of Babylon by the Medes and Persians under King Cyrus. This event is recorded both in The Bible (Daniel 5:30) and in world history. From this date it is possible to compile tables both backwards and forward in time, thus providing a framework for dating other bible events. Using such dates, together with linking bible texts, it is possible to calculate, with reasonable accuracy, the dates of many events recorded in the bible, including the date of when Moses was given the ten commandments.

However, the historical dates of ancient events in history are sometimes disputed, so differing opinions may lead to slightly different dates being used as starting points. Consequently some may consider a year other than 1513 BC to be the date of this biblical event.
