According to 1 Kings 6: 1 (see note there), the exodus took place 480 years before "the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel." Since that year they were 966 B.C., it has traditionally been held that the exodus occurred in 1446 B.C. The “three hundred years” of Judges 11:26 fits comfortably with this time period (see Introduction to Judges: History). Additionally, although the Egyptian chronology related to the 18th dynasty remains somewhat uncertain, some recent research tends to support the traditionalist view that two of the pharaohs of this dynasty, Thutmose III and his son Amunhotep II, were the pharaohs of oppression and exodus respectively (see chapters 2: 15,23; 3:10). On the other hand, the appearance of the name Ramses in 1:11 has led many to conclude that the 19th dynasty of Pharaoh Seti I and his son Ramses II were the pharaohs of oppression and exodus. Furthermore, archaeological evidence from the numerous Canaanite cities in the 13th century BC. it has been interpreted as proof that Joshua's troops invaded the promised land in that century. These and similar lines of argument lead to a date for the exodus of 1290 B.C. (See Introduction to Josué: Historical Setting). However, the identity of the city attackers cannot be determined with feasible results. The attacks could have been initiated by the Israeli armies, or by the Philistines or other outsiders. Additionally, archaeological evidence has yielded ambiguous results and recent evaluations have tended to link some of it to the 18th dynasty. Also, the name Ramses in 1:11 could well be the result of an editorial update by someone who lived centuries after Moses - a procedure by which the same word probably appears in Genesis 47:11 (see footnote there.) In short, there are no reasons of interest to modify in any way the traditional date 1446 B.C. for the exodus of the Israelites from Egyptian captivity.
