David SO 300 300 300 300 330 270 J 3d.— That, as said before, there are no recorded dates in the Jewish Scriptures that are trustworthy; that, it is we moderns who must make Hebrew chronology for the antique Jews — who, until Rabbi Hillel, had not thought of doing it themselves; — and that, in these restorations, we cease to tread upon historical ground so soon as we retrograde to Solomon's era, said to correspond to b. c. 1000. Beyond that cipher, Jewish chron- ology is all conjecture, within a few approximate limitations. Moses, or the Hebrews, being unmentioned upon Egyptian monuments of the 12th-17th centuries b. c, and never alluded to by any extant writer who lived prior to the Septuagint translation at Alexandria (commencing in the 3d century b. a), there are no extraneous aids, from sources alien to the Jewish books, through which any information, worthy of historical acceptance, can be gathered elsewhere about him or them. With these emphatic reservations, we are quite willing to consider Lepsiuss computa- tive synchronisms as not merely the most scientific but the only probable. His estimates place the Jewish Exodus in the reign of Pharaoh Menephthes, of the XlXth dynasty, about the year 1318 b. c.; (557) or rather between the years 1314 and 1322 B.C.: if we have understood our authority correctly: (558) to which we add the following comparative view (557) Chronologic; p. 379, compared with pp. 335-337.
