Bryant Wood, Ph.D.
The Bible vs. Modern Scholarship
Interview by John Elliott
Bryant Wood: I would date the Exodus to the mid-15th century (B.C.) based on the internal chronological data in the Bible--primarily 1Kings 6:1, which says that the Israelites left Egypt 480 years before Solomon began to build the temple. Solomon began to build the temple around 970 B.C. plus or minus a few years. If you go back 480 years, it takes you to about 1450, to the date of the Exodus.
There are supporting scriptures. One is Judges 11:26, which refers to the fact that the Israelites had been in the land for 300 years at the time of Jephthah, and Jephthah would date around 1100, although we can’t be precise about it. So you go back 300 years and it would put you around 1400 for the time of the conquest.
