   Yigal has written:
 
 "So, while the match is not perfect, the most logical time for an Israelite 
conquest (or whatever historical process came to be described as the 
conquest) is around 1200, with the Exodus occuring around 1240 BCE. Of 
course, there IS no actual evidence of either..."

  
 There is always the possibility that Exodus does retain general memories.
 
 That some ancestors of Israelites had indeed been in Egypt; that they were
in bondage; and , significantly, picked up  there a belief in a single deity 
intolerant of other gods, can be supported, though not proven, by much 
extra-biblical material .
 
  Therefore, one can fully accept the outline of the Exodus story, as well as 
the
 Patriarchs narratives, as Outline History. This was of course done before, 
see e.g  A.Malamat. As for Egypt, no serious discussion of the subject can 
exclude
 the views of K. Kitchen and Hoffmeier.
 
  What is difficult to accept are the large numbers involved in the Exodus 
narratives;
further, that not all Hebrews had gone to Egypt was assumed by major scholars 
such as Albright, and Meek a long time ago.

I have a question.  Is this forum supposed to be devoted to questions 
concerning Hebrew language (grammar and syntax) or biblical 
apologetics/archeology. Or both? I understood it to be a forum where we could 
discuss debated and difficult Hebrew syntax and grammatical issues.  I may 
have misunderstood.  Please help.  I'm not being rude, I just am confused.
