I am hoping to refine this. I am most interested in updates on the date of
Rameses'
confrontation with the Hittites at Kadesh, but as always any comments are
welcome.
1. Jacobel (c. 1370-1350)
2. Oppression and Exodus (Rameses II: c. 1301-1234)
3. "Wanderings" or encampment at Kadesh after defeated attempt to take
Hebron (c. 1301-
1283)
4. Outbreak of war in Canaan (ignited by the Battle of Kadesh) and the
emergence of Israel
(c. 1283-c. 1250)
Merneptah stele ad quem for Israel (c. 1220)
5. Israel in decline until Deborah (c. 1200-1125)
6. Israel in recovery until the Philistine crisis (c. 1125-1020)
