Re: When did belief in an exodus from Egypt emerge?
The Exodus story had its origins in the flash flood mentioned in the Song of the Sea and that can be dated to the drought caused Yahwist revolution which occurred between 850 and 840 BCE. That can now be stated because we finally have good translations of the earliest alphabetic texts from that time...
