1598 Exodus • 400 years in Egypt Gen 15:13
1558 Fall of Jericho • 40 years in wilderness Deut 1:3, others
1545 Judges • 13 years in Canaan up to Judges
Note: See 1 Kings 6:1 discussion
Note: Much studied Jericho has yielded confirming archaeological evidence. Kathleen Kenyon (Digging Up Jericho, 1952) gave c. 1550 for the destruction of Jericho. Albright fellow Stephen Rosenberg notes Jericho's walls were destroyed in about 1560 BC, according to the buried pottery. ("The Exodus Enigma," Jerusalem Post Online Edition, Apr 11, 2006.) Above, we find Jericho fell 1558 according to the Bible.
