I usually give three evidences from Scripture that Joshua led the Israelites into Canaan about 1400 B.C. (from 1 Kings 6:1, Judges 11:26, and 1 Chron 6:33-37). A recent article in the <em>Journal of Evangelical Theological Society<\/em> gives an additional evidence for this date, from passages in the Talmud. In the article (&#8220;When Did Solomon Die&#8221;, 46\/4, Dec 2003), Rodger C. Young shows how the counting of the Years of Jubilees indicates an entrance into Israel in 1406 B.C. You&#8217;ll have to read this section of the article for all the details (pp. 599-603), but here&#8217;s my simplistic PowerPoint summary:<\/p>\n<p>\u2013The Talmud dates the 17th Jubilee to 574 B.C. (<em>b. Arak<\/em> 12a; cf. Ezek 40:1)<br \/>\n\u2013The Talmud dates the 16th Jubilee to 623 B.C. (18th year of Josiah; <em>b.

(17 cycles x 49 years = 833 years; 574 B.C. + 833 years = 1407 minus 1=1406 B.C.).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know that a few of my former students check in on this blog from time to time, and I thought it might be helpful for them to see an addition I made last week in my lecture on the Conquest.
