...My point is very simple, that you were apparently ignoring the primary evidence while bringing up some obscure secondary evidence. Of course the primary evidence is well known, although its interpretation is disputed as Michael has stated. But I didn't think it was really quite so obvious to all that it didn't even need to be stated.
The primary document about the Exodus, the Book of Exodus itself (12:2, 13:4, 23:15, 34:18), gives a clear date in the 1st month Abib of the Hebrew year, and the unbroken Pesach tradition places that in the spring i.e. March-April, at the time when Pesach is still celebrated. The calendar of 23:14-17 and its elaborations elsewhere in the Torah clearly associate the Exodus with springtime.-
Peter, I hardly think that is a revelation--especially to the Jews here, which includes myself. What is your point?
