Around which year bC were 10 commandments revealed to Moses?

Answer 1

somewhere around 1400 bc

Answer 2

Bible scholars and archeologies have not come to an agreement about the exact date. So we can not set a date as to when the 10 commandments was given on Mt. Sinai. The Egyptians never recorded defeats of their kings or Pharaohs, so we cannot find from their history. But it is save to say it must have happened between 1500 to 1400 BC. Most probably 1446 BC or thereabout, give or take one or two years.

Answer 3

There is something called "Pivotal Dating". In other words, you find a date that secular history, and Bible history agree on. Then you start "pivoting" the dates that the Bible mentions, to get them to line up with other known, agreed events.

For example, the date 539 B.C.E. is a pivotal date, that is, a date that may be harmonized with both secular and Biblical history. Then you take someone in the Bible that was a certain age, and work out when he must have lived, and died. Usually, other dates are mentioned in the Bible, from when you can work off that persons life, and arrive at other dates. Then you check them back against dates that may be harmonized with secular and Biblical History; other pivotal dates.

Working thus, you get various dates and chronology in the Bible.

Approximately, near as we can tell, 1512 B.C.E, in the months of Abib and Zib in the ancient paleo-Hebrew calendar (Modern day Ni'san or March / April / May) By 1512, the Tabernacle was completed, by 1473, Moses was dead, and Joshua took up leading the nation.

"Accordingly it came about that in the first month, in the second year, on the first day of the month, the tabernacle was set up" - Exodus 40:17

Answer 4

Between 1466 and 1406 bc

Answer 5

C'mon get real, its just a story. Like the rest of the bible. Take it with a grain of salt, if you find you need some book to tell you not to kill, steal, or sleep with a married person, then you need help. And, by the way, those "laws" were written WAY before the myriad biblical writers ever drew a breath (Hammurabi) . Do some research. The internet is good. MMMMMmmmm good.

Answer 6

So far we are all in agreement with the time frame, give or take 100 years. My resources show about 1490 B.C.E.

N.B.
The designations of B.C. and A.D. have generally been replaced with B.C.E. (Before Common Era) and C.E. (Common Era).

Answer 7

In the 1,300's B.C., however that's as about as close as anyone can tell. Sorry, no dates will be extremely accurate for these eras. ://

There is evidence that supports a date as early as the 15th Century B.C., and one as late as the 13th Century B.C.
