Bible Chronology From Exodus to Exile

Julia Neuffer ; Urednica SDA Bible Commentary

Sažetak

Like all other ancient time records, those of the Bible present problems. In j the first place, the records are often incomplete. In the second, we cannot always be sure that we know the method by which the ancients reckoned; £or example, whether they reckoned the year as beginning in the spring or the autumn, or whether inclusive reckoning was used in such a phrase as “three years.” Again, it is not always possible to synchronize Biblical with secular chronology.
For these and other reasons that might be given, it is not possible to pre- pare a complete and exact scheme of Bible chronology. However, it is possible to construct a tentative chronological outline, particularly for the reigns of the Hebrew kings, that can be of great help to the Bible student.
The purpose of this article is to set forth reasons for the choice of the dates given in that outline. The following pages survey the source data, discuss the principles and methods used by scholars in constructing ancient chronology, and explain the application of these principles to chronological problems of this period of Bible history. It should be added that learned men have differed in their conclusions on Bible chronology, and that this article does not set forth in full any chronological scheme yet published.
