NOTE: Much of the background information provided in this section for Abram and his succeeding generations is derived from the book of Jasher. Jasher's timeline references have been used quite extensively in order to fill in the gaps which the Bible does not provide.

About 2000 BC, the first palaces of Minoan Crete appeared. The Greeks settle at Mycenae, Tiryns.

2001 AM

1999 BC

First year of first Sabbatic Week of 41st Jubilee. From about this time there developed from the Ham and Japheth peoples, a confederacy of war-like peoples in Chaldea, with Shinar as the centre. In the course of time this developed into the Assyrian Empire with Nineveh as its capital. This became known also, as the Gentile civilisation - a national system in opposition to the system appointed by God through the line of Shem. SAROS CYCLE NO. 111 = 2001.3 years

2003 AM

1997 BC

Abram aged 55 years. The Book of Jasher says that God tells Abram to leave Haran and go to Canaan. Apparently Terah, Abram's father, stays in Haran - see below - because Abram will return to Haran to visit his father 15 years later - see 2018 AM (1982 BC).

2006 AM

1994 BC

NOAH died (aged 950 years) - Genesis 9.28-29. This is three years after Abram arrived in Canaan with Lot, the son of the deceased Nahor. (Abram is now aged 58 years.)

Abram now aged 75 years. He leaves Haran under instruction from God, and goes to Bethel in Canaan - the Plain of Maimre - Genesis 12.1-5. Terah is now aged 145 and has another 60 years to live. Again God tells Abram He will give this land to Abram's seed. The book of Jasher says that Oswiris is King (Pharaoah) of Egypt and Rikayou is his Prefect. Rikayou cunningly usurped the government of Egypt through taxes. There is famine in Canaan, so Abram goes to Egypt. (According to the Enc. Britannica's 15th edition dates, this would be the first Pharaoh of the Twelfth Dynasty - AMENHEMET I - as mentioned above. The 1999 CD ROM edition of Britannica gives revised dates, and in that edition then, the Pharaoah could have come either from the end of the Tenth Dynasty, or from the beginning of the Eleventh Dynasty; Mentuhotep II was given a revised date of 2008 BC to 1957 BC.) God delivers Sarai from the desires of Pharaoh, and they (Abram, Lot and Sarai) leave Egypt. Abram and lot separate and go in different directions. Abram stays in Canaan, then goes to Mamre in Hebron. Lot went east to Jordan. Abram meets the priest MELCHIZADEK.

JUBILEE NO. 41 - No sow, no reap Isaac may have been "weaned" by this time. Genesis 21.8-10 records that Abraham made a great feast. At this feast Ishmael, the son of Hagar the Egyptian, mocks the child Isaac, and here began a 400 year period of racial antagonism, affliction or mocking of the seed of the promise by the seed of the Egyptian - Genesis 15.13.

2147 AM

1843 BC

The Egyptian Thirteenth Dynasty may have begun about this time, and continued through to 1674 BC. There were at least 70 Kings or Pharaohs over a period of 100 years in the Thirteenth Dynasty. The known kings include Neferhotep I, Sihathor (Sobekhotep IV), Iaib, Ay and Dudimose (Tutimaos). (Dudimose, the last king of the Thirteenth Dynasty, was defeated by the Hyksos King Salatis (or Silitis) in 1674 BC who started the 15th Dynasty.) This Thirteenth Dynasty from now on (1843 BC) runs parallel with the Egyptian Twelfth Dynasty - till about 1786 BC. The significance of this is that by the time Joseph (Jacob's second-youngest son) was sold into Egyptian slavery (in another 60 years' time) in 1783, and when Jacob and his family entered Egypt around 1761 BC, the Twelfth Dynasty was definitely operating in Memphis; the Thirteenth Dynasty was operating in and around the North-Eastern Delta area (maybe Memphis); and the Fourteenth Dynasty was underway in Xois, Avaris - the North-Central Delta. More commentary about this later.

In England, 1800-1400 BC, the Early Bronze Age was marked by increased wealth, use of bronze tools and weapons, rule by a wealthy class of people, and domination of SE Britain (Wessex culture). Individual burials, later cremations, in round barrows found, sometimes with rich grave goods. Trade with Europe, especially Brittany, increased.

2230 AM

1770 BC

Joseph, aged 30, appointed Vizier in Egypt. The situation in Egypt at this time, according to our reckonings from the 15th edition of Enc. Britannica, is that the Twelfth Dynasty is operating in Memphis, and the Thirteenth Dynasty is operating in and around the North-Eastern Delta; the Fourteenth Dynasty is underway also, at Xois in Avaris - the North-Central Delta. Babylon's King - Hammarubi - is "cleaning up" his part of the world north-east of Egypt, and there is a lot of people movement and resettlement around the middle-eastern countries in these times. Many people are migrating to Egypt to settle in the Northern part of the country. Among these immigrants are the peoples known as the Hyksos. Pharaoh Khasekhemre Neferhotep may be beginning his 11 year plus one month reign in the Egyptian Thirteenth Dynasty about this time (see commentary below for 1758 BC). NOTE: Joseph reigns as Vizier till his death in 1690 BC (he lives for 110 years). The Twelfth Dynasty will cease to function (in 1786 BC) before Joseph's death. Only the 13th and 14th Dynasties are operating. We can assume, therefore, that Joseph serves as Vizier to a Pharaoh of either the Thirteenth Dynasty or Fourteenth Dynasty. Joseph could not have be a vizier in any of the 15th, 16th, 17th or 18th dynasties because they will begin after his death.

The Egyptian Thirteenth Dynasty Pharaoh Khasekhemre Neferhotep I reigned for eleven years and one month (12 inclusive years), say around 1770 and 1758 BC. He was contemporary with Hamurabi of Babylon, King Zimrilim of Mari, and Yanton(-Ammu) of Byblos. The 1758 BC date is understood to be Hamurabi's 35th regnal year, when he attacked King Zimrilim and his Mari peoples of North-Eastern Syria. Yantin(-Ammu) was ruling in Byblos at this time. In determining Hamurabi's 35th regnal year, there are four alternative dates to be considered in association with archaelogy and astronomy. The dates are 1814 BC, 1758 BC, 1694 BC, and 1531 BC. The astronomical date is taken from the coincidence of the 21-year reign of Babylon's First Dynasty eleventh king - Ammisadaga - with the infrequent 21-year rising of Venus - this coincidence known as "The Venus Solution". From the Babylonian King List, the reigns of the kings, therefore, can be backdated from the date beginning Ammisadaga's reign.

Enc. Britannica - The Egyptian Sixteenth Dynasty begins about this time (1684 BC to 1567 BC). It is thought to be a line of minor Hyksos kings who are contemporary with rulers with . The late 13th dynasty period . The second half of the 14th dynasty period and . All of the 15th and 17th dynasties period Little is known about these kings. Recent archaeological researchers have produced the names of SCHENKOR and YAKOB-AAM. (There is an uncanny likeness in the names "Yakob" and "Jacob". Could Yakob-aam have belonged to the house or family of Jacob/Israel? Could this man have been Jacob's eleventh son Joseph, who became a vizier in Egypt? This chronology, however, places Joseph's death in 1690 BC, six years before the beginning of the 16th dynasty in 1684 BC.)

NOTE: The 13th, 14th, 15th and 16th Egyptian dynasties were from northern Egypt, which consisted of the north-eastern Delta immigrants, and the west-Semitic Hyksos conquerors. The 17th Dynasty operating from Thebes were constantly frustrated by the northern operating dynasties who became the more powerful force in Egypt over the 100 years about 1676 BC or earlier, to 1576 BC.

Enc. Britannica - The Egyptian Thirteenth Dynasty Pharaoh DUDIMOSE is defeated by SALATIS (SILITIS) who begins the Egyptian Fifteenth Dynasty (1674 BC to 1567 BC). At this time the influence of Egypt is still recognised in Syria and Nubia. The Fifteenth Dynasty has six Hyksos kings from the Levant including Salatis (also thought to be known by the names Silitis, Shalek, and Mayebre Sheshi), Bnon, Apachran (Khyan), Iannas (Ianassi - son of Khyan), Apophis (Auserre Apepi or Apopis who reigns 1607 BC to 1566 BC), and the last-known king being Assis (Khamudy). The Thirteenth Dynasty ends. The Fourteenth Dynasty in Avaris, and the Fifteenth Dynasty in Memphis, are now operating parallel with each other, and maybe the Hyksos Sixteenth Dynasty has been under way for ten years since 1684 BC.

So Melol seems to be a Pharaoh of either the 15th, 16th or 17th Egyptian dynasties - all of which ended (Enc.

Enc. Britannica - By 1580 BC, the Seventeenth Dynasty of Egypt's kings had been under way for some seventy years in Thebes (Middle Egypt). The Seventeenth Dynasty, and the Hyksos Fifteenth Dynasty from the north, had co-existed peacefully for some time, as the Thebans grazed their cattle in the Delta (northern Egypt) which was ruled by the Hyksos. In 1580 BC, or thereabouts, APOPI (from the south) quarrelled with SEQENENRE TAO II, the Seventeenth Dynasty king in Thebes, and war may have erupted between them. The Thebans were the vassals of the Hyksos, and SEQENENRE TAO II faced unreasonable demands from the Hyksos. APOPI called on his ally the Cushite Prince (Cush at the southern end of Egypt) to attack the Thebans in the rear, but his plan was thwarted by KAMOSE, son of SEQUENENRE TAO II. Soon after this raid, APOPI died (APOPI had many collaborators in Middle and Northern Egypt). NOTE: According to this chronology, Moses is reigning as King (Prince?) of Cush at this time. Also, from the time that Salatis (Mayebre Sheshi?) founded the 15th Dynasty in Egypt in 1674 BC to this period of 1580 BC is a total of 94 years. According to the Book of Jasher, "Melol" the Pharaoh who oppressed the Israelites in Egypt at this time, also reigned 94 years before he caught a plague for ten years and died. Was Salatis the same person as Melol who could have lived on after the 15th Dynasty ceased to operate? If he lingered for ten years with plague, he would die about 1570 BC.

This was about ten years after SEQENENRE TAO II's battle with APOPI. The mummy of SEQENENRE TAO II shows terrible head wounds: a crushing blow, three axe wounds, and a sword thrust. He may have died in his sleep or during a battle. NOTE: There is a similar time frame here from 1566 BC to 1556 BC (see below) for the last ten years of Melol's life suffering with plague, and a ten-year gap in time before SEQENENRE TAO II's son KAMOSE took over the throne after his father's battle with APOPI (1580 BC to 1570 BC) - which if that battle didn't bring about his death, then his terrible wounds would not have enabled him to function very well. Why the delay in Kamose taking over the throne? Maybe Melol of Hyksos or western-Semitic origins in the north, fought in the same battle in support of the Hyksos king APOPI. Could Melol have been SEQENENRE TAO II? Or was he SALATIS? Or was Melol a Pharaoh in his own right from the little known Hyksos 16th Dynasty? These are all things to consider, especially when the estimated time-frames of these chronologies are within fourteen years. Enc. Britannica - KAMOSE, son of SEQENENRE TAO II, carried on the war and drove the Hyksos to Memphis (northern Egypt, near Cairo). One of his fleets sailed by Avaris, APOPI's Delta capital. He ruled the southernmost third of Egypt (did this include Cush?) . With troops from Nubia in the south he made a surprise attack on the Hyksos southern stronghold. He continued north to the eastern Delta and taunted the Hyksos king of the 15th Dynasty (Khayan?).

Enc. Britannica - The Egyptian 15th, 16th and 17th Dynasties end about this time. It is not known what happened to KAMOSE, the last Pharaoh of the Seventeenth Dynasty, after this time. It is generally agreed by Egyptologists that Kamose may not have ruled for more than five years at the most. (As this chronology places the Exodus around 1552 BC, could it have been Kamose who was the Pharaoh who pursued the Israelites, only to be consumed by the wall of waters when crossing at the "Red Sea" (the Sea of Reeds)? In chapter 2 of David Rohl's publication "A Test of Time" he lists the names of the various pharaohs' mummies which were located in the Royal Cache TT 320. Sekenenre Taa and Ahhotep, Ahmose and Ahmose-Nefertari, and many of the Eighteenth Dynasty pharaohs' mummies are listed. Kahmose is not listed. I wonder if his mummy has been found? It is strange that it is missing from this list. His brother AHMOSE completed the task of liberation from the control of the Hyksos dynasties, thus beginning the Eighteenth Dynasty (1657 BC to 1320 BC). AHMOSE I (Nebpentyre) was very young when he came to the throne, and it is thought that he co-ruled for about eleven years with his mother (QUEEN AHHOTEP) till about 1556 BC, and from then on he had sole rule.

SAROS CYCLE NO. 135 = 2434.0 years Moses is in his 66th year. He ends his 40 inclusive years reign as King of Cush. This is the 94th year of Melol's reign. Moses returns to the house of REUEL (also known in scriptural writings as RAGUEL, and JETHRO) in Midian. Although Moses departed from Cush well respected, and with gifts from the people of the kingdom, Reuel imprisoned Moses for ten years to conciliate the children of Cush, because Moses had fled from them. Meanwhile Melol has fallen sick with plague which he has for the next ten years.

AHMOSE I, Pharaoh of the now emerged sole Egyptian Eighteenth Dynasty captured Memphis. He crushed the Hyksos allies in middle Egypt thus ending the fifteenth Hyksos Dynasty. The Sixteenth Dynasty also finished about this time. With Ahmose starting the new Eighteenth Dynasty, and taking over from his brother Kahmose, the Seventeenth Dynasty also finished. AHMOSE mother (QUEEN AHHOTEP) ran the government in Thebes in middle Egypt, while he undertook a waterborne operation against Avaris, the Hyksos capital in the north-eastern Delta. He captured Avaris and pursued the enemy as far back to Palestine. As well as this, he had advanced into Nubia in the south, and set up a governor there. There were rich gold mines in the south. He re-activated copper mines at Sinai and resumed trade along the Syrian coast. He married his full blooded sister NEFRETARI, and he was the first King to re-unify Egypt under a native ruler and restored to Egypt the boundaries it held in the Old Kingdom period of 2686 BC to 2160 BC. His wife, QUEEN AHMOSE NEFRETARI, was given the title "God's Wife of Amon". They had a son (Amenhotep I) who acceeded Ahmose in 1546 BC. Ahmose' officers were rewarded with the spoil and captives who became personal slaves. This created an influential military class. An overseer of southern foreign lands was appointed, and the encumbent was accorded the honorific title of "king's son", indicating that he was directly responsible to the king as deputy. By the end of the 16th century, there was a vizier in Upper (southern) Egypt, and one in Lower (northern) Egypt. This follows the practice of Viziers as used in the 13th Dynasty.

In the booklet "The Exodus of Israel, Its Date and Historical Setting" written by the late David Davidson, he explains how some of the pharaohs of Egypt had altered their calendar at different times throughout history. Davidson considered that the date of the Sirius Rising (the Sothic Cycle) as recorded by Ramessu II was 240 years earlier than Egyptologists had supposed. Davidson therefore gives the date of 1559 BC for Sirius Rising - instead of 1319 BC. Click HERE to consider The Sothic Cycle As a result, the chronology of the Egyptian Dynasties is reconstructed by Davidson to the tune of 240 years. His chronology compares with others as follows, for the beginning of the Egyptian Eighteenth Dynasty with Ahmose I's reign: 1829 BC - Davidson's Chronology 1587 BC - Petrie's Chronology 1580 BC - Breasted's Chronology 1580 BC - Hall's Chronology 1576 BC - Weigall's Chronology 1567 BC - Enc.

Britannica - CD ROM 1999 edition 1194 BC - David Rohl's Revised Chronology So there's a difference of 66 years allotted to the beginning of the Eighteenth Dynasty for the "conventional" fifteenth century BC dates; whilst Davidson takes the plunge to a date 240 years earlier; and now Rohl is prepared to bring the date over three hundred years later than the conventional fifteenth century dates! Who's right? If anyone! All chronologists here do present convincing theories based on archaeological and astronomical information. Overall there's a difference in dates of 635 years!
