| Sep 3, 2021 at 14:11 | comment | added | bach | Actually I looked at your answer and you have the 215 years before the Exodus, which is kind of baffling, since the famous Jewish tradition of 215 years (which your entire answer is really based on, although you may not be aware of it) is the time period of the Egyptian bondage itself, but you have it the other way around. I find it hard to agree with anything in your post. | |

| Sep 2, 2021 at 21:10 | comment | added | Dottard | @Bach - I base my conclusions, not upon any "dubious traditions" (which I have not referenced), but the explicit testimony and chronology of the Bible as documented above. Further, I am unaware of such a tradition, so I cannot reference it. | |
| Sep 2, 2021 at 17:33 | comment | added | bach | So are you rejecting my hypothesis based on a dubious tradition that the Israelites were in Egypt for only 215 years (although the bible clearly states otherwise)? | |
