1 | Israel in Egypt 430 yrs? | Gen 15:13 | Jim Estes | 172565 | ||
Thank you for your response. However, the Bible shows that the Israelites did return to Canaan in four generations, not four centuries. Kohath, being the first generation, was one of the original 70 Hebrews to arrive in Egypt. He lived 133 years. His son Amram lived 137 years. Amram was the father of Moses, who led the Israelites out of Egypt when he was 80 years old. This being the case, how could they have been in Egypt for 400 years? Also, how could they have been slaves for 400 years, since they did not become slaves until after the death of Joseph, who lived to 110 years(Gen 50:26). Gen. 15:16, when speaking of "strangers dwelling as temporary residents" is refering to Canaan and not Egypt. This verse is talking about both lands, not just Egypt. See Ex 6:4 So what happened 400 years before the Exodus? The birth of Jacob! |

At Exodus 12:40, 41, Moses records that “the dwelling of the sons of Israel, who had dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.” From the above wording, it is apparent that not all this “dwelling” was in Egypt. This time period begins with Abraham’s crossing of the Euphrates on his way to Canaan, at which time God’s covenant with Abraham went into effect. The first 215 years of this “dwelling” was in Canaan, and then an equal period was spent in Egypt, until Israel became completely independent of all Egyptian control and dependency, in 1513 B.C.E. A footnote on Exodus 12:40 shows that the Greek Septuagint, which is based on a Hebrew text older than the Masoretic, adds, after the word “Egypt,” the words “and in the land of Canaan.” The Samaritan Pentateuch does similarly. Galatians 3:17, which also mentions the 430 years, confirms that this period started with the validating of the Abrahamic covenant, at the time that Abraham crossed the Euphrates on his way to Canaan. This was therefore in 1943 B.C.E., when Abraham was 75 years old.—Gen. 12:4. | ||||||
