i appreciate that and fully expect it.
Please keep in mind that i have no external evidence for these dates...it is purely based on biblical chronology so if i was a jew and wanted to know when the exodus was for instance, i'd grab my old testament and use the biblical chronology to work it out.
Umm, you do realize that the Jews of antiquity never attempted to match up their geneological family tree of the OT with contemporary events of other civilizations much less create a complete timeline of events. It really wasn't until the mid-17th century when Anglican Christian scholars like James Ussher and John Lightfoot created a complete and continuous (though inaccurate) chronology using the geneologies of the Old and New Testament. Further more exact dates for the Exodus of the Jews and other biblical events were not further refined until much later when Bible scholars attempted to match up these events to archaelogical discoveries made in the last 200 years. However, their is still much skeptism for the dates estimated for these events by Biblical scholars since many of these events still have no emperical evidence to back them up and very few if any contemporary written sources provides testimony to these Biblicalevents i.e. there is no written documentation from other civilizations that back up the Biblical claim of the Exodus events.
Oh, BTW Jews call the Old Testament the Tanakh not the "Old Testament".
