They more than likely split after Yahwism was an established religion in the 
north, since their ideology so clearly revolves around the Torah and Torah 
only. Most likely it was after the return from the exile and probably about 
the time lesser deities started to disappear (Asherah et al), which would 
give it around the 3rd century BCE. By the late second century we get traces 
of Rabbinical Judaism which would further develop in the 1st century BCE 
with the DSS. I doubt it would have been this late, since Aramaic form was 
already by here the norm. So a third century split seems reasonable enough.
