One day I was reading the Bible and noticed it had many verses that said one event happened a certain number of years after another event. I thought it would be a fun exercise to try to link all those statements together until reaching a known point in history, and then work backward to put dates on all those events. The result is this timeline.

Keep in mind that I put it together as a learning exercise. I am not a scholar and I make no promises that it is error free. I realize there are other timelines out there, but I thought I would learn more from creating my own than reading someone else's so that's what I did.

Verse	Event	Age of the Earth	Date		Notes	Reference
Genesis 1:1	In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth	0	4008	BC	When God created the world it was 0 years old
Genesis 1:3-5	On the first day God created the light and divided it from the darkness	0	4008	BC
Genesis 1:6-8	On the second day God created the firmament	0	4008	BC
Genesis 1:9-13	On the third day God created the seas, the dry land, and plants	0	4008	BC
Genesis 1:14-19	On the fourth day God created the sun, moon, planets, and stars	0	4008	BC
Genesis 1:20-23	On the fifth day God created fish and birds	0	4008	BC
Genesis 1:24-31	On the sixth day God created land animals, insects, and Adam and Eve	0	4008	BC	Adam's name means "Man". (Why is this important? Because the names in Genesis 5 tell a story.)
Genesis 2:2-3	On the seventh day God rested	0	4008	BC
Genesis 4:8	Cain kills Abel; God puts a mark on him and curses him	129	3879	BC	Genesis 4:25 says God gave Seth to Eve because Cain killed Abel, so those two events happened near the same time. At this time there could have been 5 generations of people alive, which explains why Cain was concerned about other people killing him.
Genesis 5:3	Adam is 130 years old	130	3878	BC
Genesis 5:3	Adam's son Seth is born	130	3878	BC	1st generation from Adam. Seth means "substituted" or "put".
Genesis 5:6	Seth is 105 years old	235	3773	BC
Genesis 5:6	Seth's son Enos is born	235	3773	BC	2nd generation from Adam. Enos means "mortal".
Genesis 5:9	Enos is 90 years old	325	3683	BC
Genesis 5:9	Enos' son Cainan is born	325	3683	BC	3rd generation from Adam. Cainan means "dwelling". Adam / Seth / Enos / Cainan: man put on mortality as his dwelling.
Genesis 5:12	Cainan is 70 years old	395	3613	BC
Genesis 5:12	Cainan's son Mahalaleel is born	395	3613	BC	4th generation from Adam. Mahalaleel means "praiseworthy God".
Genesis 5:15	Mahalaleel is 65 years old	460	3548	BC
Genesis 5:15	Mahalaleel's son Jared is born	460	3548	BC	5th generation from Adam. Jared means "come down" or "descend".
Genesis 5:18	Jared is 162 years old	622	3386	BC
Genesis 5:18	Jared's son Enoch is born	622	3386	BC	6th generation from Adam. Enoch means "teach" or "train". Mahalaleel / Jared / Enoch: the praiseworthy God shall come down and teach.
Genesis 5:21	Enoch is 65 years old	687	3321	BC	Jude 1:14-15 says that Enoch prophesied about the Second Coming of Christ, in which He returns to this world to judge the wicked. That means he prophesied about the return of Jesus more than 3000 years before His first coming in Bethlehem!
Genesis 5:21	Enoch's son Methuselah is born	687	3321	BC	7th generation from Adam. Methuselah will die the year of the Flood. He was born 243 years before Adam died, which means the year the Flood took place there was someone alive who knew Adam. The name Methuselah means "death will cast out" or "death will send away".
Genesis 5:25	Methuselah is 187 years old	874	3134	BC
Genesis 5:25	Methuselah's son Lamech is born	874	3134	BC	8th generation from Adam. Methuselah was 187 years old when Lamech was born, and he would live to be 969 years old. However, this chapter never says that these people were the firstborn of each generation (and we know that Seth definitely wasn't). What we have in this chapter is the ancestry of Noah. The name Lamech means "despair".
Genesis 5:5	Adam dies when he is 930 years old	930	3078	BC	At this point the rest of the people mentioned in Genesis 5 were still alive. Adam lived long enough to see his children to the 8th generation. When Adam died Seth was 800 Enos was 695, Cainan was 605, Mahalaleel was 535, Jared was 470, Enoch was 308, Methuselah was 243, and Lamech was 56. Noah had not yet been born.
Genesis 5:23-24	Enoch is raptured when he is 365 years old	987	3021	BC	Enoch is the second descendant of Adam to disappear (from the line of Seth). He was raptured 57 years after Adam died and 69 years before Noah was born.
Genesis 5:8	Seth (the son of Adam) dies when he is 912 years old	1042	2966	BC	1st generation from Adam dies
Genesis 5:28	Lamech is 182 years old	1056	2952	BC
Genesis 5:28	Lamech's son Noah is born	1056	2952	BC	9th generation from Adam. Noah means "comfort". If you put all the names together you get this: Man put on mortality as his dwelling; the praiseworthy God shall come down and teach; [His] death will cast out despair and bring comfort. The names in this chapter give a basic outline of the gospel!
Genesis 5:11	Enos (the grandson of Adam) dies when he is 905 years old	1140	2868	BC	2nd generation from Adam dies
Genesis 5:14	Cainan dies when he is 910 years old	1235	2773	BC	3rd generation from Adam dies
Genesis 5:17	Mahaleel dies when he is 895 years old	1290	2718	BC	4th generation from Adam dies
Genesis 5:20	Jared dies when he is 962 years old	1422	2586	BC	5th generation from Adam dies. Enoch was raptured, so only Methuselah and Lamech remained from the line of Seth.
Genesis 6:3	God calls Noah to build the Ark 120 years before the Flood	1536	2472	BC	This was 549 years after Enoch was raptured.
Genesis 11:10	Noah is 502 years old	1558	2450	BC	Shem was born when Noah was 502, not 500. It's true that Genesis 5:32 says “And Noah was 500 years old: and Noah begat Shem, Ham, and Japheth”. However, Genesis 11:10 makes it clear that Noah's three children were not triplets. Noah began having children when he was 500, but Shem was born when he was 502.
Genesis 11:10	Noah's son Shem is born	1558	2450	BC	10th generation from Adam
Genesis 5:31	Lamech dies when he is 777 years old	1651	2357	BC	8th generation from Adam dies. Lamech died before his father Methuselah did.
Genesis 5:27	Methuselah dies when he is 969 years old	1656	2352	BC	7th generation from Adam dies. At this point only Noah remained. This is the same year the Flood happened.
Genesis 7:6	The Flood occurs when Noah is 600 years old	1656	2352	BC	The Flood happened 669 years after Enoch was raptured and 726 years after Adam died
Genesis 8:13	The Flood ends when Noah is 601 years old	1657	2351	BC
Genesis 11:10	Shem is 100 years old	1658	2350	BC
Genesis 11:10	Shem's son Arphaxad is born	1658	2350	BC	11th generation from Adam. Genesis 11:10 says that Arphaxad was born 2 years after the Flood, when Shem was 100, so Shem was born 98 years before the Flood.
Genesis 11:12	Arphaxad is 35 years old	1693	2315	BC
Genesis 11:12	Arphaxad's son Salah is born	1693	2315	BC	12th generation from Adam
Genesis 11:14	Salah is 30 years old	1723	2285	BC
Genesis 11:14	Salah's son Eber is born	1723	2285	BC	13th generation from Adam
Genesis 11:16	Eber is 34 years old	1757	2251	BC
Genesis 11:16	Eber's son Peleg is born	1757	2251	BC	14th generation from Adam. 1 Chronicles 1:19 says that in Peleg's days "the earth was divided". That may mean in his days the world was divided into nations. Could this be when the tower of Babel happened?
Genesis 11:18	Peleg is 30 years old	1787	2221	BC
Genesis 11:18	Peleg's son Reu is born	1787	2221	BC	15th generation from Adam
Genesis 11:20	Reu is 32 years old	1819	2189	BC
Genesis 11:20	Reu's son Serug is born	1819	2189	BC	16th generation from Adam
Genesis 11:22	Serug is 30 years old	1849	2159	BC
Genesis 11:22	Serug's son Nahor is born	1849	2159	BC	17th generation from Adam
Genesis 11:24	Nahor is 29 years old	1878	2130	BC
Genesis 11:24	Nahor's son Terah is born	1878	2130	BC	18th generation from Adam
Genesis 11:26	Terah begins having children when he is 70 years old	1948	2060	BC	However, Abraham is not born until much later
Genesis 11:19	Peleg (the 5th generation from Noah) dies 209 years after his son Reu's birth	1996	2012	BC	14th generation from Adam dies
Genesis 11:25	Nahor (the 8th generation from Noah) dies 119 years after his son Terah's birth	1997	2011	BC	17th generation from Adam dies
Genesis 9:29	Noah dies when he is 950 years old	2006	2002	BC	9th generation from Adam dies. Noah died 349 years after the Flood ended. He saw his children to the 8th generation. He died 2 years before Abraham was born.
Genesis 11:32, 12:4	Terah is 130 years old	2008	2000	BC
Genesis 11:32, 12:4	Terah's son Abraham is born	2008	2000	BC	Acts 7:4: Abraham moved to Canaan when Terah died; Terah died at 205; Abraham was 75 at the time; therefore Terah was 130 when Abraham was born. Most timelines do not take this into account and therefore come up with very different dates for this part of the Old Testament. Abraham was the 19th generation from Adam.
Genesis 17:17	Sarah is born 10 years after Abraham	2018	1990	BC
Genesis 11:23	Serug (the 7th generation from Noah) dies 200 years after his son Nahor's birth	2019	1989	BC	16th generation from Adam dies
Genesis 11:21	Reu (the 6th generation from Noah) dies 207 years after his son Serug's birth	2026	1982	BC	15th generation from Adam dies
Genesis 11:32	Terah (Abraham's father) dies when he is 205 years old	2083	1925	BC	18th generation from Adam dies
Genesis 12:4, 7	God commands Abram (Abraham) to leave his country and go to Canaan; God makes a covenant with him to turn him into a great nation, and promises that through him all families of the world would be blessed; Abraham enters Canaan when he is 75 years old; God promises to give Canaan to Abraham's offspring	2083	1925	BC	The 430 years of Exodus 12:40-41 (the “sojourning of the children of Israel”) seems to have started here, not when Jacob's family moved to Egypt. The genealogy of Aaron doesn't allow 430 years to pass in Egypt (Exodus 6:16-20).
Genesis 15:13-21	God tells Abraham that his children would be a stranger in a land that was not theirs, and would be afflicted for 400 years; God said that He would judge that nation, whom they shall serve, and they will come out with great substance in the 4th generation; God also promises to give His descendants all the land from the Nile river to the Euphrates river	2092	1916	BC	This seems to have happened right before Abraham married Hagar. Abraham and his children were afflicted long before they entered Egypt (which you can see by reading Genesis). This passage makes it clear that the Israelites were only in Egypt for 4 generations, which is more evidence that they couldn't have spent 430 years there.
Genesis 16:3	Abraham marries Hagar after 10 years in Canaan; Hagar immediately becomes pregnant; the angel of the Lord names her unborn son Ishmael	2093	1915	BC
Genesis 16:16	Abraham is 86 years old	2094	1914	BC
Genesis 16:16	Abraham's son Ishmael is born	2094	1914	BC
Genesis 11:13	Arphaxad (the grandson of Noah) dies 403 years after his son Salah's birth	2096	1912	BC	11th generation from Adam dies
Genesis 17:1, 5, 24	God institutes circumcision when Abraham is 99 years old; He promises to make Abraham a father of many nations; He promises to give Abraham's descendants all the land of Canaan for an everlasting possession; God changes Abram's name to Abraham	2107	1901	BC	The land promise was said to be "everlasting". This means God may remove Israel from the promised land for a time, but He will always gather them back. This is because the covenant He made with Abraham is unconditional and does not depend on Israel's obedience.
Genesis 17:25	Ishmael is circumcised when he is 13 years old	2107	1901	BC
Genesis 18:10-14; Genesis 19:24-25	The Lord rained fire and brimstone upon Sodom and Gomorrah and destroyed the cities of the plain	2107	1901	BC	This seems to have happened a year before Isaac was born.
Genesis 20	Abraham lied to Abimelech and said Sarah was his sister; God shut all the wombs of Abimelech's household until he returned Sarah	2107	1901	BC	This seems to have happened after Sodom was destroyed but before Isaac was conceived.
Genesis 21:5	Abraham is 100 years old	2108	1900	BC
Genesis 21:5	Abraham's son Isaac is born	2108	1900	BC	20th generation from Adam
Genesis 19:30-38	Lot's two daughters get him drunk and have children by him; they gave birth to Moab and Ammon	2108	1900	BC	This seems to have happened shortly after Sodom was destroyed
Genesis 21:1-19	Isaac is weaned; Ishmael mocks him; Abraham sent Hagar and Ishmael away; the angel of God saves Hagar and Ishmael when they are dying in the wilderness	2110	1898	BC	According to scholars, children in the ancient world were weaned at the age of 2 or 3. Ishmael would have been 16 years old.
Genesis 21:22-34	Abraham makes a covenant with Abimelech; he sojourns in the land of the Philistines for many days	2110	1898	BC	Genesis 21:22 says this "came to pass at that time".
Genesis 11:15	Salah (the great-grandson of Noah) dies 403 years after his son Eber's birth	2126	1882	BC	12th generation from Adam dies
Genesis 22:1-18	God commands Abraham to sacrifice Isaac; when Abraham stretches forth his hand; the angel of the Lord stopped him and blessed him for not withholding his only son; God provided a ram in place of Isaac	2128	1880	BC	This date is estimated by scholars. Isaac was old enough to carry wood for the sacrifice but his mother Sarah had not yet died. (Why is Isaac said to be "his only son"? Because he had driven Ishmael away 18 years earlier.)
Genesis 22:20-24	Abraham is told that Nahor, Abraham's brother, has had a daughter named Rebekah	2128	1880	BC	Since the passage doesn't provide exact dates, this is just a rough guess. Rebekah was probably born sometime around this date.
Genesis 23	Sarah dies when she is 127 years old; Abraham purchases a cave in Hebron (Canaan) and buries her	2145	1863	BC	Abraham was charged 40 times the market price of the cave. That is the only piece of Canaan he ever owned. He was charged 450 shekels for a small cave. 1 Kings 16:23-24 says Omri paid just 6000 shekels (two talents) for the entire country of Samaria.
Genesis 24:1-4, 25:20	Abraham sends his eldest servant to find a wife for Isaac; Isaac marries Rebekah when he is 40 years old	2148	1860	BC	Isaac married Rebekah 3 years after his mother died. Rebekah was probably around 20 years old at the time.
Genesis 25:1-2	Abraham marries Keturah and has 6 more children	2148	1860	BC	The exact date isn't given, but this seems to have happened after Isaac got married. Sarah had been dead for at least several years by this point.
Genesis 11:11	Shem (son of Noah) dies 500 years after his son Arphaxad's birth	2158	1850	BC	Shem was born 98 years before the Flood and died when Isaac was 50 years old. He died 10 years before Jacob and Esau were born. Shem died 13 years after Abraham's wife Sarah.
Genesis 25:26	Isaac is 60 years old	2168	1840	BC
Genesis 25:26	Isaac's sons Jacob and Esau are born	2168	1840	BC	21st generation from Adam
Genesis 25:7-8	Abraham dies when he is 175 years old; he is buried in the family cave with Sarah	2183	1825	BC	Jacob and Esau were 15 years old when their grandfather Abraham died

Genesis 26:34	Esau is 40 years old	2208	1800	BC	Isaac was 100 years old when this happened
Genesis 26:34	Esau marries his first two wives: Judith the Hittite and Bashemath the Hittite	2208	1800	BC	Jacob wouldn't marry his two wives until 45 years later
Genesis 25:17	Ishmael dies when he is 137 years old	2231	1777	BC
Genesis 30:25	Jacob steals his brother Esau's blessing and flees to his uncle Laban 14 years before Joseph is born; on his way there he sees the vision of a ladder that reaches up to Heaven; he sets up a pillar to mark the place and calls it Bethel	2246	1762	BC	Jacob was 78 years old at the time. Isaac was 138 years old. This would have been about 50 years after Jacob took Esau's birthright.
Genesis 29:20-27	Jacob marries Leah after working for Laban for 7 years; he marries Rachel the next week and commits to working 7 more years	2253	1755	BC	Jacob was 85 years old at the time
Genesis 29:31 to 30:25	Leah gives birth to Reuben, then Simeon, then Levi, then Judah; Rachel gives her maid Bilhah to Jacob, who gives birth to Dan and Naphtali; Leah gives her maid Zilpah to Jacob, who gives birth to Gad and Asher; Leah gives birth to Issachar and Zebulun and Dinah; Rachel gives birth to Joseph				All of these children were born sometime between 1755 BC and 1748 BC. The exact dates are not known.
Genesis 41:46	Joseph is born 30 years prior to standing before Pharaoh	2260	1748	BC	The only child of Jacob that was born after Joseph was Benjamin. This means Benjamin was born after this date and the rest of Jacob's children (including Levi) were born before this date. Jacob's children were the 22nd generation from Adam.
Genesis 30:25	Joseph is born after Jacob's 14 years of service to Laban are over	2260	1748	BC	Jacob was 92 years old at the time
Genesis 30:30-43	Jacob agrees to work for Laban in exchange for the speckled and spotted livestock	2260	1748	BC	This agreement lasts for 6 years
Genesis 31:38, 32:28	Jacob and his family leave Laban after Jacob worked for him for 20 years; Jacob wrestles with God, who changes his name to Israel; Jacob encounters his brother Esau	2266	1742	BC	Jacob was 98 years old at the time. It had been 20 years since he last saw his brother Esau.
Genesis 34	Jacob's daughter Dinah goes out to see the daughters of the land, and is raped; Simeon and Levi trick the men of the city into getting circumcised and then kill all of them when they are recovering; Jacob has to flee the area	2268	1740	BC	The exact date is not known but it would have been after Jacob left Laban but before Joseph was sold into slavery.
Genesis 35:1-8	Jacob returns to Bethel, where Deborah (Rebekah's nurse) dies	2269	1739	BC	The exact date is unknown but this seems to have happened shortly after his sons killed the men of Shechem.
Genesis 35:16-20	Rachel dies while giving birth to Benjamin; she is buried on the road to Bethlehem; Jacob sets up a pillar to mark her grave	2271	1737	BC	The exact date is unknown but it was around this time.
Genesis 35:22; 1 Chronicles 5:1	Reuben has sex with Bilhah, his father Jacob's concubine; this ultimately costs him his birthright, which is given to Joseph	2273	1735	BC	The exact date is unknown but it was around this time.
Genesis 37:2, 28	Joseph is 17 when he brings an evil report of his brothers to his father Jacob; Judah convinces his brothers to sell Joseph as a slave to the Ishmaelites for 20 pieces of silver	2277	1731	BC
Genesis 37:36, Jasher 44:76	Joseph is Potiphar's slave for one year	2277	1731	BC	This seems to be generally accepted
Genesis 39:7-20	When Joseph refused to have sex with Potiphar's wife, she lied to her husband about him and had him cast in prison	2278	1730	BC
Jasher 44:76; Genesis 39:21-23	Joseph begins his 12 years of imprisonment; the keeper of the prison puts Joseph in charge, because God blesses whatever Joseph does	2278	1730	BC	Multiple ancient sources say that Joseph was in prison for 12 years
Genesis 35:28-29, 49:31	Isaac dies when he is 180 years old; he is buried by both Jacob and Esau in the family cave	2288	1720	BC	20th generation from Adam dies. Isaac died before Joseph met his brothers. As far as Isaac knew Joseph was eaten by wild animals.
Genesis 40, 41:1	Joseph interprets the dreams of the butler and baker 2 years before he stands before Pharaoh; he says that in 3 days the butler will be restored to his position and the baker will be executed, and that is exactly what happened	2288	1720	BC
Genesis 41:44-46	Joseph is 30 when he stands before Pharaoh; Pharaoh makes him second in command over all of Egypt; Pharaoh gives Joseph Asenath for a wife	2290	1718	BC	Assumes Joseph did this when the 7 good years began

Genesis 41:50-52	Joseph has two children with Asenath during the years of plenty: Manasseh and Ephraim				The exact date is unknown
Genesis 41:53, 45:11	The 7 years of plenty end in Egypt	2296	1712	BC
Genesis 41:54-57, 45:11	The 7 years of famine start in the Middle East; the Egyptians go to Joseph to buy corn	2297	1711	BC	The famine impacted more than just Egypt. Food was scarce in Canaan as well.
Genesis 42	Joseph's 10 brothers go to Egypt to buy food; Joseph recognizes them and decides to test them by saying they are spies; Joseph imprisoned them for 3 days; Simeon is left in prison in Egypt while the rest of the brothers return home with food; Joseph says they cannot return unless they bring Benjamin	2297	1711	BC
Genesis 44, 45	Joseph's brothers return to Egypt a second time and bring Benjamin; when Joseph accuses them of being thieves, Judah begs Joseph to set Benjamin free and let him remain in prison instead; Joseph reveals his true identity to his brothers	2298	1710	BC
Genesis 45:6, 11; 46:1-4, 28	Joseph calls his brothers to Egypt when there are 5 years of famine left; God speaks to Jacob in a vision and tells him to go to Egypt; Jacob moves his family to Egypt; the family settles in Goshen	2298	1710	BC	Joseph had been in Egypt for 21 years when his brothers came to buy food.

Genesis 47:13-24	The Egyptians give all their money for food; when the money runs out, they give their cattle; when that runs out they sell their land, with the agreement that going forward they will have to give 20% of their harvest to Pharaoh				This is how things played out in the last 5 years of the famine
Genesis 45:11	The 7 years of famine end in the Middle East	2303	1705	BC
Genesis 48:19	Before Jacob dies he blesses Joseph's sons and says that Ephraim will be greater than the firstborn Manasseh	2315	1693	BC
Genesis 49	Before Jacob dies he blesses his children, but curses Reuben because he had sex with Jacob's concubine Bilhah	2315	1693	BC	Jacob said that Reuben would "not excel". This curse came to pass: no prophet, judge, or king ever came from the tribe of Reuben.
Genesis 47:28	Jacob dies when he is 147 years old	2315	1693	BC
Genesis 47:28, 49:29-32	Jacob dies after being in Egypt for 17 years; he is buried in the family cave, where he buried his wife Leah	2315	1693	BC	The Bible doesn't say when Leah died. It's interesting that Leah was buried in the family cave but Rachel was not.
Genesis 50:15-21	Joseph's brothers beg him not to destroy them now that their father is dead; Joseph forgives them for what they did to him and promises to take care of them and their children	2315	1693	BC	This was 38 years after the brothers sold Joseph into slavery
Genesis 50:22-26	Joseph dies when he is 110 years old; he is put in a coffin in Egypt but tells the Israelites to carry his bones out of Egypt when they one day leave the country	2370	1638	BC	That day will come in 143 years
1 Chronicles 7:20-22	Two children of Ephraim, the son of Joseph, are killed by Philistines who come to Egypt to steal cattle				The exact date is not known but it was during this era
Exodus 1:7	The Israelites are fruitful and multiply exceedingly				God commanded Abraham to go to Canaan 215 years before Jacob moved to Egypt. In that time the family grew from 2 people to 70 (Genesis 46:27). However, when the Israelites left Egypt 215 years after Jacob moved there they had 603,550 males who were 20 years old or older (Numbers 1:46). That's astonishing growth!
Exodus 1:8-12	A new Pharaoh arises who doesn't know Joseph, and who is alarmed at the rapid growth of the Hebrews; he afflicts them with taskmasters but that doesn't stop their rapid growth
Exodus 2:4	Miriam, the sister of Aaron and Moses, is born				The exact date is not known. However, she was old enough to watch baby Moses in the Nile to see what became of him, and she was old enough to talk to the daughter of Pharaoh, so she was definitely at least a few years older than Aaron (who was just 3 years old at the time that Moses was in the Nile).
Exodus 7:7	Aaron is born 83 years before the exodus from Egypt	2430	1578	BC	Aaron's father was Amram (Exodus 6:20), who lived 137 years. Amram's father was Kohath, who lived 133 years. The father of Kohath was Levi, who also lived 137 years. Levi was a son of Jacob and must have been born before Joseph's birth in 1748 BC. Moses and Aaron were therefore the 25th generation from Adam. The Bible doesn't tell us how much the lives of Aaron, Amram, Kohath, and Levi overlapped, but this information means the time spent in Egypt must have been much less than 400 years.
Exodus 1:22	Pharaoh commands that all of the Hebrew males must be killed by casting them into the Nile river				Since this command didn't apply to Aaron but did apply to Moses, it must have been given at some point during this time.
Exodus 7:7	Moses is born 80 years before the exodus from Egypt	2433	1575	BC	Moses was born 63 years after Joseph died
Exodus 2:3-10	Moses is hid for three months and is then placed in an ark in the Nile river; the daughter of Pharaoh sees him and adopts him as her child	2433	1575	BC
Acts 7:21-24	Moses is 40 years old	2473	1535	BC	The Israelites had been in Egypt for 175 years. Joseph had been dead for 103 years.
Acts 7:21-24	Moses sees an Egyptian beating a Hebrew and kills the Egyptian; the Hebrews betray Moses to Pharaoh; Moses has to flee the country to avoid being killed	2473	1535	BC	This seems to be when the 450 years of Acts 13:20 begins (the days of the judges). This means Moses was the first judge.
Exodus 2:18-21	Moses flees to the land of Midian; he becomes friends with Reuel; Moses marries his daughter Zipporah	2473	1535	BC	The exact year that Moses married Zipporah is not known

Exodus 2:23-25, 3:10	After Pharaoh dies, God speaks to Moses out of a burning bush and commands him to return to Egypt	2513	1495	BC
Exodus 4:24-26	Moses begins traveling to Egypt with his wife and two sons; God meets him on the way and tries to kill him; Zipporah saves Moses by circumcising her son; Zipporah takes her children back to Midian	2513	1495	BC	It's not clear how old the children were at the time, but by this point Moses may have been married for decades
Exodus 5:1-2	Moses stands before Pharaoh and tells him to let God's people go, but Pharaoh refuses	2513	1495	BC
Exodus 7:19-21, 8:1-6, 16-17, 20-24; 9:6, 8:10, 18-25; 10:4-15, 21-23	The Nile is turned into blood; the plague of frogs; the plague of lice; the plague of flies; the plague that killed the livestock; the plague of boils; the plague of hail; the plague of locusts; the plague of darkness	2513	1495	BC
Exodus 12	God institutes the Passover; the Hebrews paint the blood of the lamb on their doorposts so the angel of death will pass over their house	2513	1495	BC
Exodus 12:29-33	God kills all the firstborn in Egypt, including the firstborn of animals, who are not covered by the blood of the sacrificed lamb; Pharaoh drives the Hebrews out of Egypt	2513	1495	BC
Exodus 12:35-36, 13:19	The Hebrews loot the land of Egypt as they leave; Moses takes the bones of Joseph out of Egypt	2513	1495	BC	Joshua 24:32 says that his bones were buried in Shechem, a piece of ground that Jacob purchased for 100 pieces of silver

Exodus 14:3-9, 21-30	Pharaoh takes 600 chariots to enslave the Israelites again; Moses parts the Red Sea so they can cross on dry ground; Pharaoh and his army drown in the Red Sea	2513	1495	BC
Exodus 15:22-26	The Israelites murmur against Moses because the waters of Marah are bitter	2513	1495	BC
Exodus 16:2-15	The Israelites murmur against Moses and say they wish they had died in Egypt, because they were hungry and there was no food in the wilderness; God gives them manna to eat	2513	1495	BC	Exodus 16:35 says that the Israelites ate manna for 40 years until they entered Canaan
Exodus 17:1-7	The Israelites murmur against Moses because there is no water to drink; Moses provides water by smiting a rock	2513	1495	BC
Exodus 17:8-13	Amalek fights Israel at Rephidim; Joshua leads the battle against them; the Israelites win as long as Moses holds up his hands, but lose when he lets his hands drop; Aaron and Hur hold up his hands	2513	1495	BC
Exodus 18:2-6, 13-26	Jethro visits Moses and brings him his wife and two children; when he sees that Moses is trying to handle all the disputes of the entire nation personally he advises Moses to appoint judges over the people; Moses does so	2513	1495	BC	This is the last we ever hear about Zipporah. Moses will later remarry, which heavily implies that Zipporah left him.
Exodus 19:10-20; 20:1-21	God appears to the Israelites at mount Sinai as a thick cloud of darkness; God audibly gives the Israelites the 10 Commandments; the people panic and ask Moses to go talk to God because they can't stand hearing His voice	2513	1495	BC
Exodus 21, 22, 23	God gives His laws to Moses	2513	1495	BC
Exodus 24:1-10	God commands Moses to bring Aaron, Nadab, Abihu, and the 70 elders of Israel to come and worship Him from afar off; they see the God of Israel with a paved work of sapphire stones under His feet; they eat and drink in His presence	2513	1495	BC	Yes, this is the same Nadab and Abihu who later offer "strange fire" before the Lord and are killed on the spot
Exodus 24:12-13, 17-18	God commands Moses to come up to the mountain so He can give Moses the tables of stone; Joshua goes with him; Moses is with God for 40 days and nights; the Israelites saw God as a devouring fire at the top of the mountain	2513	1495	BC
Exodus 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31	God gives Moses the instructions for crafting the tabernacle and its related items	2513	1495	BC
Exodus 32:1-6	The Israelites ask Aaron to create some idols for them to worship; Aaron takes their golden earrings and forms two golden calves, and gives those idols the credit for saving Israel; the Israelites hold a feast and worship them	2513	1495	BC	Yes, Aaron had just seen the Lord with his own eyes a few weeks earlier. Yes, they did this while the entire nation could see the glory of God at the top of the mountain, which appeared as a devouring fire.
Exodus 32:15-20	Moses comes down from the mountain, sees their sin, and breaks the 2 tables of stone that God gave him; Moses destroys the golden calves, grinds them into powder, puts it in water, and forces the Israelites to drink it	2513	1495	BC

Exodus 34:1, 28-35	God tells Moses to make two more stone tables to replace the two that he broke; the Lord writes His Law upon them; Moses is up on the mountain for 40 days and nights; when Moses returns his face glows, so he has to wear a veil when speaking to the Israelites	2513	1495	BC	In 2 Corinthians 3:15 the apostle Paul said that this veil is still upon the hearts of the Israelites, and is why they can't understand the words of Moses
Exodus 40:17; Leviticus 8	The tabernacle is constructed after 1 year in the wilderness; Aaron and his sons are anointed as priests	2514	1494	BC
Leviticus 10:1-2	Nadab and Abihu offer strange fire before the Lord, and the Lord kills them on the spot	2514	1494	BC
Numbers 1:1-3, 46-47	God commands a census of Israel after 1 year in the wilderness; the census covers all males 20 years old or older who are able to go forth to war, but does not include the tribe of Levi	2514	1494	BC	The total at this time, before the 40 years in the wilderness, was 603,550
Numbers 9:1-3	God commands Israel to keep the Passover after 1 year in the wilderness	2514	1494	BC
Numbers 11:1	When the Israelites complain, it displeases the Lord; the fire of the Lord burns among them and consumes those who are at the edges of the camp	2514	1494	BC
Numbers 11:4-29	The mixed multitude that is in Israel's midst complains about the manna and demands flesh to eat; Moses says the burden of taking care of Israel is too great; God puts His Spirit upon the 70 elders; when two of them prophesy in the camp Joshua urges Moses to forbid them; Moses refuses	2514	1494	BC
Numbers 11:31-33	God uses a wind to bring so many quails for the Israelites to eat that it takes them all day, and all night, and all the next day to gather them; as the Israelites eat them God smites them with a great plague	2514	1494	BC
Numbers 12:1-5	Miriam and Aaron speak against Moses because he married an Ethiopian; God becomes angry and smites Miriam with leprosy; when Moses prays for her healing, God refuses to heal her until she has suffered for 7 days	2514	1494	BC	Notice that God doesn't condemn Moses for entering into an interracial marriage, or for remarrying. Instead He defends him.
Numbers 13:1-29; 14:34	God commands Moses to select 12 men to spy on the land of Canaan; two of the men that he selects are Joshua and Caleb; they spy on the land for 40 days	2514	1494	BC
Joshua 14:7	Joshua is 40 years old when the spies search Canaan	2514	1494	BC
Numbers 13:28-33; 14:1-10, 32-34	10 of the spies report that there are Amalekites in the land that cannot be defeated; Caleb and Joshua urge the nation to trust God for victory; Israel refuses to enter Canaan and decides to kill Moses and return to Egypt	2514	1494	BC	Keep in mind that these very people had witnessed the plagues that God sent upon Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, the destruction of Pharaoh's 600 chariots, and Joshua's victory over Amalek – and yet they refused to believe that God could give them victory over the very nation that God had already saved them from just a few months ago!
Numbers 14:11-34	God tells Moses that He is going to kill the Israelites and turn Moses into a mightier nation than them; Moses intercedes on their behalf; God sentences Israel to wander in the wilderness for 40 years until the rebellious generation has died, but spares Joshua and Caleb	2514	1494	BC
Numbers 14:40-45	The Israelites ignore what God said and try to invade Canaan anyway; the Amalekites and Canaanites defeat them	2514	1494	BC
Numbers 16:1-35, 41-49	Korah joins with 250 princes and launches a rebellion against Moses; God opens up the ground underneath them and they are killed; the 250 princes are consumed by fire; the next day the Israelites murmur against Moses for killing good people; God sends a plague that begins killing them immediately; Aaron runs with a censer to save the people; the plague is stopped but 14,700 people die				The exact date is unknown but it happened in this period
Numbers 20:1	Miriam dies and is buried in Kadesh	2552	1456	BC	According to Numbers 33:37, the Israelites reached Kadesh at the end of their 40 years of wandering through the wilderness
Numbers 20:2-12	The Israelites murmur against Moses at Kadesh because there is no water to drink; they say they wish they had died when God punished the rebels of Korah; God commands Moses to speak to a rock to give them water; Moses doesn't believe God and strikes the rock twice instead; God says that since Moses and Aaron didn't have faith in Him then they will not be allowed to enter Canaan	2552	1456	BC
Numbers 20:14-21	The Edomites refuse to allow Israel to travel through their land	2552	1456	BC
Numbers 20:24-29; 33:38-39	Aaron dies when he is 123 years old, 40 years after the Exodus; his son Eleazar becomes the next high priest	2553	1455	BC
Numbers 21:1-3	King Arad the Canaanite attacks Israel and takes some of them as prisoners; God gives Israel victory over them and the Israelites utterly destroy their cities	2553	1455	BC	This time the Israelites are having to fight battles as they reach Canaan. By the time they reach the Jordan river they will have already conquered much territory and gotten used to war. That means they are never given the option of simply not going to war and returning to Egypt.
Numbers 21:5-9	Since the Israelites cannot go through Edom they have to take a long detour; as they do this they murmur against Moses and tell him that they despise the manna God is giving them every day and want something else; God punishes them by sending fiery serpents that kill them; when the Israelites ask for relief God tells Moses to craft a bronze serpent on a pole, and whoever was bitten could look at it and would be saved	2553	1455	BC	This was intended to point people to Christ and teach them that in order to be saved they had to look at something outside of themselves. In approximately 725 BC (more than 700 years later) King Hezekiah destroyed this pole because the Israelites had turned it into an idol and began worshiping it (2 Kings 18:4).
Numbers 21:21-26	When the Israelites ask Sihon king of the Amorites if they could travel through his territory, he comes out with his army to kill them; God gives Israel the victory, and they conquer his territory and move into his cities	2553	1455	BC
Numbers 21:33-35	The giant Og king of Bashan comes out to fight Israel at Edrei; God gives him into Israel's hand, and they defeat him and move into his cities	2553	1455	BC	Deuteronomy 3:11 says that Og had a bedstead made of iron that was 13.5 feet long and 6 feet wide. Some scholars believe that this was actually his coffin and an indication of how tall he was.
Numbers 22, 23, 24; 31:16	Balak hires Balaam to curse the Israelites; God sends an angel to kill Balaam, but his donkey sees the angel and saves Balaam; when Balaam beats his donkey, God allows the donkey to speak to him; Balaam ends up blessing Israel 3 times instead of cursing them; when Balak gets mad, Balaam tells him to send pagan women into Israel's camp to fornicate with them, because that would cause God to curse them	2553	1455	BC	Numbers 31:8 tells us that in the end the Israelites killed Balaam. It turns out it was unwise for him to join forces with the enemies of God in an attempt to curse a nation that God loved.
Numbers 25:1-13	The Israelites commit fornication with Moabite women and worship their idols; when God commands that the idolaters be put to death, a man publicly takes a Midianite woman and began to fornicate with her; Phinehas the son of Eleazar takes a javelin and kills both the man and the woman on the spot; God says that because he did this his descendants would have the covenant of an everlasting priesthood	2553	1455	BC	1 Chronicles 6:4-15 indicates that all of the high priests of Israel until the time of the Babylonian exile were descendants of Phinehas. (Does this mean that the church should be killing sinners? Absolutely not. The apostles killed no one, and God never gave the sword to the church. Jesus commanded His disciples to preach the gospel to the nations, not wage war. There is a big difference between ancient Israel, which was a theocracy governed by God, and the church.)
Numbers 26:1-2, 64-65	God commands Moses and Eleazar to take a census of Israel; the census covers all males 20 years old or older who are able to go forth to war; the census proves that the entire previous generation had died with the exceptions of Joshua and Caleb	2553	1455	BC	Numbers 26:51 says that the total that was left after wandering in the wilderness for 40 years was 601,730. Their total population had declined by 1,820 since the last census, in spite of the fact that this census included the Levites when the previous one did not. There won't be another census until 400 years later when King David takes one; 2 Samuel 24:9 says that at that time there were 1.3 million men who were old enough to go to war.
Numbers 27:18-23	God tells Moses that he is going to die because of the lack of faith he displayed when he struck the rock; when Moses asks God to appoint a successor for him, the Lord tells Moses to lay hands on Joshua and make him his successor	2553	1455	BC	Joshua was 80 years old at the time
Numbers 31:1-18	God commands Moses to go to war against the Midianites; they kill the males but take the women captive; Moses is angry with them because the Midianite women were the very people who led Israel to sin; Moses commands that the women be killed as well, but spare the children and the virgins	2553	1455	BC
Numbers 32	The tribes of Reuben and Gad ask Moses if they could inherit the land that Israel had conquered on this side of the Jordan river, because it was good for raising livestock and they had a lot of livestock; they promise to build cities for their families and animals, but the males would go over the Jordan to help the rest of Israel receive their inheritance; their request is granted	2553	1455	BC	These people will not see their families again for 5 years, in a time before email and telephones
Deuteronomy 1:3	Moses gives the Law to Israel a second time, 40 years after the Exodus	2553	1455	BC
Deuteronomy 33	Moses blesses each tribe of Israel	2553	1455	BC
Deuteronomy 34:1-3	Moses goes to the mountain of Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, and the Lord shows him the land of Canaan	2553	1455	BC
Deuteronomy 34:7	Moses dies at 120 years old; the Lord buries him in a valley in the land of Moab, but no one knows where	2553	1455	BC	Jude 1:9 tells us that the devil disputed with Michael the archangel about the body of Moses, but the passage doesn't tell us what the argument was about.
Exodus 16:35	The Israelites reach Canaan 40 years after the Exodus	2553	1455	BC
Joshua 2:1-21	Joshua sends spies into Jericho; when Rahab the harlot saves their lives, they promise to spare her and her household when the Israelites conquer the city	2553	1455	BC
Joshua 3:4	The nation of Israel crosses over the Jordan river on dry ground; Joshua set up 12 stones in the midst of the Jordan as a memorial for what God had done for them	2553	1455	BC
Joshua 5:2-8	God commands the Israelites to circumcise themselves before they began the conquest of Canaan	2553	1455	BC	The Law required that infant males be circumcised on the 8th day, but the Israelites apparently hadn't been doing that
Joshua 5:10-12	The Israelites celebrate the Passover; after the Passover they eat of the food of Canaan, and the manna stops appearing	2554	1454	BC	The Passover is the beginning of Israel's year (Exodus 12:2), so another year has begun
Joshua 6	The Lord commands Joshua to march around Jericho for 6 days, then march around it 7 times on the 7th day and then make a long blast with a ram's horn; when Joshua does this the Lord causes the walls of Jericho to fall down flat, and the Israelites conquer the city; the Israelites spare Rahab and her household; Joshua puts a curse on whoever rebuilds Jericho	2554	1454	BC	1 Kings 16:34 tells us that Hiel the Bethelite rebuilt Jericho in the days of Ahab, and offered two of his children as human sacrifices to do so. Ahab became king in 922 BC, which was more than 500 years later.
Joshua 7	Achan took some loot from Jericho even though God had forbidden the Israelites from doing this; because of his sin God left Israel and they lost their next battle, and 36 people died; the Israelites found Achan by casting lots, and he confessed his sin; the Israelites stoned him to death and burned his corpse	2554	1454	BC
Joshua 8:1-29	The Israelites use an ambush to conquer the city of Ai; God gives the city into their hand; Joshua burns it and makes it a desolation; Joshua also hangs the king of Ai on a tree until the evening	2554	1454	BC	Deuteronomy 21:22-23 forbade Israel from allowing someone to hang all night, which is why Joshua took the king down once evening came
Joshua 8:30-35	Joshua builds an altar on mount Ebal; he writes upon stones a copy of the Law of Moses; Joshua reads all the words of the Law, the blessings and the curses, to all the congregation, including the women and the little children	2554	1454	BC	Moses commanded the Israelites to do this back in Deuteronomy 11:29
Joshua 9, 10	The inhabitants of Gibeon pretend to be from a distant land and trick Israel into making a peace treaty with them; the Israelites don't inquire of the Lord and agree to the treaty; when Adonizedec king of Jerusalem finds out he forms an alliance with 4 other powerful kings and attacks the Gibeonites; Israel has to go to war to rescue them	2554	1454	BC	The Gibeonites were turned into hewers of wood and drawers of water, thus fulfilling the curse that Noah put on the descendants of Canaan back in Genesis 9:26-27 (900 years earlier)
Joshua 10:10-27	God gives Israel the victory when they fight the nations that come against Gibeon; the Lord hurls great hailstones from Heaven to kill Israel's enemies; Joshua asks God to stop the sun from setting so he could finish the battle; God grants his prayer, and the sun remains in the sky for about a whole extra day; Joshua kills the 5 kings and hangs them until evening	2554	1454	BC	This would have been quite puzzling for people who lived in other parts of the world, and who would surely have wondered why the sun didn't set or why the sun didn't rise. God is able to do astounding things for those who put their faith in Him and who ask for His help to carry out His will.
Joshua 10:28-40	Joshua conquers Makkedah, and Libnah, and Lachish, and Horam king of Gezer, and Eglon, and Debir; he defeats all the country of the hills, and the south, and the vale, and the springs; he leaves none remaining				This is a summary of the conquest that Joshua did during the 5 years of conquest. There's no way to put dates on any of those battles but they happened in this timeframe.
Joshua 11	Jabin king of Hazor forms an alliance with other kings and attacks Israel; God gives Israel the victory; Joshua also defeats the Anakims from the mountains; the land then rested from war				This happened near the end of this timeframe. Joshua 12:24 says that the Israelites defeated a total of 31 kings.
Joshua 14:7, 10	The initial conquest of Canaan ends after 5 years	2558	1450	BC
Joshua 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21	God commands Joshua to divide the land and give each tribe its inheritance; Joshua and Eleazar the priest do so; they also set aside 6 cities of refuge, and cities for the Levites to dwell in	2558	1450	BC	The land was divided by casting lots before the Lord (Joshua 18:10)
Joshua 14:10-14	Caleb is 85 years old when Joshua gives each tribe its inheritance; Caleb asks Joshua to give him Hebron as his inheritance even though the Anakims lived there in fortified cities, and Joshua does	2558	1450	BC
Joshua 22	Joshua sends the tribes of Reuben, Gad, and Manasseh back home, to their inheritance and families on the other side of the Jordan river; when those tribes get their they build an altar; when the rest of the tribes confront them, they say they built it as a memorial so that no one would try to disown them and claim they weren't part of Israel				The exact date is unknown. What's curious is that Eleazar was the priest when each tribe received its inheritance, but by the time this encounter took place his son Phinehas was the high priest (Joshua 22:30). The Law said a priest could only serve from the ages of 30 to 50. Either Eleazar's term ended shortly after the land was divided, or this happened a number of years later.
Joshua 15:63	The tribe of Judah is unable to drive the Jebusites out of Jerusalem				The person who ultimately drove the Jebusites out of Jerusalem was actually David, who conquered it about 400 years later (2 Samuel 5:6-9). Joab led the effort, which is how he became David's captain (1 Chronicles 11:6).
Joshua 16:10, 17:13	The tribe of Ephraim makes peace with the Canaanites at Gezer and doesn't drive them out; the tribe of Manasseh does the same thing				This was an act of direct disobedience to God, who forbade Israel from doing this
Joshua 19:47, Judges 18	The tribe of Dan sends 5 spies to look for more territory; they find the house of Micah, who has a Levite and a pagan idol; when they see Laish they decide to conquer it; the tribe sends an army of 600 men, who take the Levite and the idol from Micah and who conquer Laish; the Danites then move into that territory				The exact date is unknown. The tribe of Dan had only been in the promised land for a few years but they had already become idolaters. Judges 18:30 says that they remained idolaters until the time of the captivity, which was 700 years later.
Judges 19, 20, 21	When a Levite's concubine leaves him, the Levite goes to her father to fetch her; on the way home they stop at Gibeah, a city that belonged to the tribe of Benjamin; there the concubine is raped to death by a gang of men; when the rest of Israel hears about this they demand the Benjamites hand over the murderers, but the tribe of Benjamin instead goes to war to defend their right to rape women; God ultimately gives Israel victory over the Benjamites; when Israel realizes that only a few hundred Benjamite males are left, they tell those men to get wives by kidnapping them when women go to Shiloh to celebrate a feast to the Lord				This is an astonishing tale of depravity and evil. The exact date is unknown but it seems to have happened during the lifetime of Joshua because the priest who inquired of the Lord before the battle was Phinehas the son of Eleazar (Judges 20:28), who was active in the days of Moses (Numbers 25:7). This shows that the Israelites became evil very quickly after entering the promised land.
Joshua 23, 24	At the end of Joshua's life he gathers all Israel together, commands them to obey the Lord, warns them that God will drive them out of the land if they disobey the Him, and makes a covenant with them to obey God; Joshua sets up a great stone under an oak as a witness to the covenant				The exact date is unknown, but this seems to have happened right before Joshua died
Joshua 24:29-30	Joshua dies when he is 110 years old; he is buried in his inheritance in Timnathserah in mount Ephraim	2584	1424	BC
Joshua 24:33	Eleazar the son of Aaron dies				He seems to have died after Joshua did. It's important to remember that the job of the high priest wasn't a lifelong position. Priests could only serve from the ages of 30 to 50 (Numbers 4:3, 23, 30, 35).
Judges 1:1-7, 19-21, 27-36	After Joshua dies, the tribes of Judah and Simeon continues the conquest of Canaan and defeats Adonibezek; Judah is able to defeat the Canaanites in the mountain but not in the valley; the Benjamites do not drive the Jebusites out of Jerusalem	2585	1423	BC	If you add all the years that the judges served, you end up with too many years between the dates the exodus is known to have occurred and the date the first temple is known to have been built. This means the book of Judges is actually composed of different sections that took place in parallel. It is not told in sequential order! First Judges 1 and 2 took place. Then Judges 3 to 5 took place while chapters 6 to 16 were happening in other parts of Israel. Judges 17 to 21 may have taken place while Joshua was still alive because Judges 20:28 tells us that Phinehas, the grandson of Aaron, took part in the events (and yet he was active in the days of Moses – see Numbers 25:7).
Judges 1:27-36, 2:1-5	The Israelites stop conquering Canaan and put the Canaanites under tribute instead; an angel of the Lord rebukes Israel for this and says that God will no longer drive the Canaanites out, but instead they will remain in the land and be a thorn in their side	2595	1413	BC	A gap of 10 years from the death of Joshua to the first judge seems to make the most sense based on the rest of the timeline.
Judges 3:7	The Israelites do evil and serve Baal	2595	1413	BC	Once again: Judges 3-5 takes place at the same time as Judges 6-13
Judges 3:8	Chushanrishathaim king of Mesopotamia begins oppressing Israel	2595	1413	BC
Judges 6:1-2	When the Israelites do evil in the sight of God, He delivers them to the Midianites; the oppression is so severe that the Israelites have to live in caves	2596	1412	BC	The text does not use the word “again”, so Judges 6 to 15 does not follow chronologically after Judges 5:31. Judges uses the word “again” when it is taking about sequential events, and then drops the word when it's changing the subject to talk about events that were happening in a different part of Israel. (Judges is a very difficult book to put on a timeline.)
Judges 6, 7	The Midianites oppress Israel for 7 years; God calls Gideon to defeat them; Gideon refused to go to war until God performed 2 different miracles with a piece of wool; when Gideon's army was too large God sent most of them home; God gave Gideon victory over the Midianites; Gideon killed the two princes of the Midianites (Oreb and Zeeb); a period of rest begins	2603	1405	BC	This means that Gideon and Othniel both saved Israel at the same time, which is why Israel had 40 years of rest
Judges 8:1-21	When Gideon pursues the kings of Midian (Zebah and Zalmunna), the princes of Succoth and Penuel refuse to help him; after Gideon captures the kings he returns to Succoth and Penuel and punishes those cities; Gideon then kills the two kings of Midian	2603	1405	BC	The story doesn't end when Gideon smashes the clay pots and the Midianites attack one another in panic. People tend to skip chapter 8.
Judges 8:22-27	When the men of Israel ask Gideon to become their king, he refuses; instead Gideon asks for their golden earrings, which he turns into an ephod; the ephod becomes an object of worship and is a snare to both Israel and Gideon's household	2603	1405	BC	Aaron made the two golden calves out of the earrings of the Israelites (Exodus 32:2)
Judges 3:8-11	After Chushanrishathaim oppresses Israel for 8 years, Othniel son of Kenaz (Caleb's younger brother) saves Israel from him; a period of rest begins	2603	1405	BC	According to Josephus this took place 18 years after the death of Joshua
Judges 8:31	Gideon has 70 sons and many wives; he has a son named Abimelech with a concubine in Shechem				His children would have been born in this era
Judges 8:28	The 40 years of rest that take place after Gideon saves Israel comes to an end	2643	1365	BC	This assumes this is the same 40 year rest that is mentioned in Judges 3:11
Judges 3:11	The 40 years of rest that take place after Othniel saves Israel comes to an end	2643	1365	BC	This assumes that this is the same 40 years that is mentioned in Judges 8:28
Judges 8:33	As soon as Gideon dies Israel turns to Baal worship	2643	1365	BC
Judges 9:1-6, 24	Abimelech (son of Gideon) murders all of his brothers except for Jotham; the men of Shechem help him accomplish this, and then make him king	2643	1365	BC	Not only was Shechem a Levite city, but it was a city of refuge (Joshua 21:21). If a person accidentally killed someone they could flee to that city, and their life would be saved. That was also the city where Joshua made a covenant with the entire nation to serve the Lord (Joshua 24:25). Now this city of Levites was a city of murderers.
Judges 9:22	Abimelech begins his reign	2643	1365	BC
Judges 3:12-13	After Othniel dies, the Israelites "again" do evil so God raises up Eglon king of Moab against them; Eglon gathers Ammon and Amalek and takes the city of palm trees	2643	1365	BC
Judges 9:22-56	After Abimelech reigns as king from Shechem for 3 years, Gaal starts a rebellion against him; Abimelech destroys the tower of Shechem and kills 1000 men and women; when Abimelech attacks Thebez a woman casts a piece of millstone out of the tower and crushes his skull, and he dies	2646	1362	BC
Judges 10:1-2	After Abimelech's death Tola begins judging Israel	2646	1362	BC
Judges 3:14-29	After Eglon the king of Moab oppresses Israel for 18 years, God raises up Ehud, a left-handed Benjamite, who assassinates him with a hidden dagger; Ehud then blows a trumpet to rally Israel, and they kill 10,000 men of Moab; an 80 year period of rest begins	2661	1347	BC
Judges 10:2	Tola judges Israel for 23 years and then dies, and is buried in Shamir	2669	1339	BC
Judges 10:3	After Tola's death Jair begins judging Israel; he has 30 sons, who had 30 cities in Gilead	2669	1339	BC
Judges 10:3-5	Jair judges Israel for 22 years and then dies, and is buried in Camon	2691	1317	BC
Judges 10:6	The Israelites do evil "again" and serve Baalim and Ashtaroth; they serve the gods of Syria, Zidon, Moab, Ammon, and the Philistines; they forsake the Lord	2691	1317	BC	These nations had a history of oppressing Israel. God proved that He was more powerful than those idols by defeating those nations and giving Israel the victory, and yet the Israelites still turned away from God to serve the idols of their enemies.
Judges 10:7-9	The Philistines and Ammonites begin oppressing Israel; first they attack the Israelites who were on the other side of the Jordan, but then they crossed the Jordan to attack Judah, Benjamin, and Ephraim	2691	1317	BC
Judges 10:8; 11:32-33	After 18 years of oppression God raises up Jephthah, who saves Israel from the Ammonites	2709	1299	BC
Judges 11:26	Jephthah claims that he is fighting the Ammonites approximately “300” years after the conquest of Canaan	2709	1299	BC	Jephthah's estimate of 300 years was way off. There is no way to get 300 years no matter what you do to the timeline. This actually makes sense given his complete lack of education. The date was adjusted by 156 years to harmonize Judges 8:28 and 3:11.
Judges 11:34-40	After the battle is over Jephthah returns home and offers his daughter as a human sacrifice	2709	1299	BC	Some people claim that he actually dedicated her to service in the tabernacle, but there's no textual evidence to support that. The text is clear that he really did kill her, which is why ancient Israel had a holiday to lament her death.
Judges 12:1-6	The men of Ephraim are so angry at Jephthah for not asking for their help when he attacked the Ammonites that they say they are going to kill him; Jephthah gathers the men of Gilead and defeats Ephraim; his men find the hidden Ephraimites by their difference in speech ("Sibboleth" instead of "Shibboleth"); 42,000 Ephraimites are killed	2709	1299	BC
Judges 12:7	Jephthah judges Israel for 6 years and then dies, and is buried in one of the cities of Gilead	2715	1293	BC
Judges 12:8-9	After Jephthah's death Ibzan begins judging Israel; he has 30 sons and 30 daughters; he takes pagan wives for all of his sons, and sends his daughters off to marry pagan men	2715	1293	BC	The Mosaic Law forbade pagan intermarriage but he did it anyway. It's very unlikely that he had 60 children in the span of just 7 years, so he probably started having children before he became a judge.
Judges 12:9-10	Ibzan judges Israel for 7 years and then dies, and is buried in Bethlehem	2722	1286	BC
Judges 12:11	After Ibzan's death Elon the Zebulonite begins judging Israel	2722	1286	BC
Judges 12:11-12	Elon judges Israel for 10 years and then dies, and is buried in the country of Zebulun	2732	1276	BC
Judges 12:13-14	After Elon's death Abdon begins judging Israel; he has 40 sons and 30 nephews	2732	1276	BC
Judges 12:13, 15	Abdon judges Israel for 8 years and then dies, and is buried in Pirathon in the land of Ephraim	2740	1268	BC
Judges 13:1	The Israelites do evil "again" so God delivers them into the hands of the Philistines	2740	1268	BC
Judges 13:3-5	Before Samson is born an angel of the Lord appears to his mother and tells her that he will be a Nazarite from birth; God also said he would "begin" to deliver Israel from the Philistines	2740	1268	BC	Scholars believe that this angel was a preincarnate appearance of Christ
Judges 3:30	The 80 years of rest that took place after Ehud assassinated Eglon the king of Moab comes to an end	2741	1267	BC	This period of rest seems to end when Ehud dies (Judges 4:1)
Judges 3:31	Shamgar kills 600 Philstines with an ox goad				The exact date is not known but it was after the 80 years of rest
Judges 4:1-3	After Ehud is dead, the Israelites "again" do evil so God gives them to Jabin king of Canaan, and the captain of his army Sisera; he mightly oppresses Israel with his 900 iron chariots	2741	1267	BC
Judges 4:4	Deborah the prophetess judges Israel from the palm tree that was between Ramah and Bethel in Ephraim				The passage says that she judged Israel during the time of Sisera's oppression
Judges 14	Samson becomes engaged to a Philistine woman; he kills a lion with his bare hands, and later finds a beehive with honey in its carcass; during the wedding feast he uses that lion to make a bet with 30 people who are there; the people win the bet by threatening Samson's wife and getting her to tell them the answer; Samson becomes angry and obtains 30 pieces of clothing by killing 30 Philistines; when Samson goes home his wife is given to someone else				The exact date is not known but it seems to have happened around this time
Judges 15:1-6	At the time of the wheat harvest Samson tries to go to his wife, only to find out she had been given to someone else; as an act of revenge Samson catches 300 foxes, ties their tails together, ties a firebrand in between their tails, and lets them go in the standing corn of the Philistines; when their fields burn down the Philistines come and burn the Philistine woman and her father to death
Judges 15:15	When the Philistines come to arrest Samson he kills 1000 of them with the jawbone of a donkey; when he was thirsty after that victory God gave him water to drink, and his spirit revived
Judges 15:20	Samson becomes Israel's judge	2760	1248	BC	Judges is extremely difficult to put in chronological order. If this is correct then Samson was judge while the Canaanites were oppressing a different part of Israel. Samson was raised up to deliver Israel from the Philistines, not the Canaanites.
Judges 4:3-9	After Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, oppressed Israel for 20 years the prophetess Deborah calls for Balak and tells him to fight Sisera; when he says that he will not go unless Deborah joins him, she tells him that Sisera will be delivered into the hand of a woman	2761	1247	BC
Judges 4:15-22	God gives Balak the victory over Sisera's iron chariots, but Jael kills Sisera with a hammer and a nail when he falls asleep; a period of rest begins	2761	1247	BC	This seems to have happened at the beginning of Samson's reign as judge. The reason Sisera trusted Jael was because she was a Kenite, and there was peace between him and the Kenites. Judges 1:16 tells us that the Kenties were the people of Moses' father-in-law.
Judges 16:1-3	When Samson visits a prostitute in Gaza, the Philistines encompass the city; Samson escapes at midnight by carrying away the gates of the city to Hebron				Gaza is a Philistine city. It is about 37 miles from Hebron. The city gates would have weighed more than a thousand pounds.
Judges 16:4-21	Samson falls in love with Delilah and tells her the secret of his great strength; Delilah has a servant cut his hair; the Philistines capture Samson, put out his eyes, and imprison him				This seems to have happened shortly before his death
Judges 16:23-30	The lords of the Philistines threw a big party to rejoice over the capture of Samson, and offer sacrifices to their false god Dagon for Samson's capture; they bring Samson to this event; Samson brings down the pillars of the house and kills 3000 people; Samson dies	2780	1228	BC
Judges 16:31	Samson died after judging Israel for 20 years and is buried between Zorah and Eshtaol in the buryingplace of Manoah his father	2780	1228	BC
Judges 13:1	The Philistines' oppression of Israel ends after 40 years	2780	1228	BC
1 Samuel 4:15	Eli is born	2798	1210	BC	If the timeline for Judges is correct then Eli was born 18 years after Samson died
Judges 5:31	The period of rest that began when Jael killed Sisera comes to an end	2801	1207	BC
1 Samuel 4:18	Eli becomes Israel's judge 40 years before he dies	2856	1152	BC
Ruth 1:1	Elimelech and Naomi go to Moab during the famine that happened in the days of the judges				Josephus 5:9:1 says this happened in the days of Eli. However, since the book of Ruth does not contain any date information it's impossible to narrow it down any further than that.
Ruth 1:4, 16-17	After 10 years Naomi decides to return to Bethlehem, because her husband and her two sons are dead; her Moabite daughter-in-law Ruth goes with her
Ruth 4:13	Ruth marries Boaz				Ruth had a son named Obed, who had a son named Jesse, who had a son named David (Ruth 4:17-21).
1 Samuel 1	Elkanah had two wives, Hannah and Peninnah; Peninnah torments Hannah for not having any children; Hannah asks God to give her a child and says that if He does then she will give him to the Lord; Hannah gives birth to Samuel and brings him to Eli once he is weaned				After this Hannah had 3 sons and 2 daughters (1 Samuel 2:21)
1 Samuel 2:12-36	The sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, openly desecrate the sacrifices of God by stealing from them; God tells Eli that because of this sin He is going to kill both of his sons on the same day; Eli ignores God and refuses to do anything
Antiquities of the Jews 5:10:4; 1 Samuel 3:1-18	Samuel hears God call to him when he is 12 years old; God tells Samuel that He is angry with Eli for refusing to stop his sons from abusing His sacrifices; as punishment He is going to destroy the house of Eli; when Samuel tells Eli this the next day he doesn't care				Josephus says that this happened when Samuel was 12. Since the Bible does not contain any date information relating to Samuel (including how long he lived), there is no way to narrow this down any further.	(link)
1 Samuel 4:1-11	When the Philistines attack Israel they kill 4,000 people; the Israelites bring the Ark of the Covenant onto the battlefield, with Hophni and Phinehas carrying it; the Philistines then kill 30,000 people, including Hophni and Phinehas, and capture the Ark as well	2896	1112	BC	Even though the Philistines will return the Ark a few months later, it will not be returned to the Holy of Holies until Solomon completes the temple 103 years from now
1 Samuel 4:12-18	When Eli hears the news he falls backwards, breaks his neck, and dies because he was very fat; Eli dies after judging Israel for 40 years	2896	1112	BC	On this same day the wife of Phinehas died in childbirth after hearing the news, and named her son "Ichabod" because the glory had departed from Israel (1 Samuel 4:19-22)
1 Samuel 4:15	Eli dies when he is 98 years old	2896	1112	BC
Antiquities of the Jews 6:13:5	Samuel becomes the last judge of Israel after Eli dies, 12 years before Saul is anointed king	2896	1112	BC	This is according to Josephus.	(link)
Acts 13:20	Samuel becomes a judge approximately 450 years after Moses killed the Egyptian	2896	1112	BC	The actual time is 423 years. This is the best guess; it makes Moses the first judge.
1 Samuel 4:17-18	The Philistines capture the Ark the day that Eli dies	2896	1112	BC
1 Samuel 5, 6:1-12	The Ark is in Philistine territory for 7 months, where it causes immense suffering and death; the Philistines then return it to Bethshemesh in Israel on an ox cart with an offering of 5 golden emerods and 5 golden mice	2897	1111	BC
1 Samuel 6:14-20	The men of Bethshemesh kill the oxen as a sacrifice to the Lord; when they look into the Ark God kills 50,070 people	2897	1111	BC	The Ark was so holy that the Mosaic Law required it to be covered with fabric when it was moved (Numbers 4:5-6). Looking into the Ark was an enormous violation! The Levites who were present (1 Samuel 6:14) should never have allowed people to do this.
1 Samuel 6:21, 7:1	The people of Bethshemesh tell the inhabitants of Kirjathjearim to come and get the Ark; they retrieve it and bring it to the house of Abinadab, and sanctify his son Eleazar to keep the Ark	2897	1111	BC	The Israelites should have had the Levites cover the Ark, carry it back to the tabernacle, and return it to the Holy of Holies, but that didn't happen. They had no right to put it in a random person's house and have his son "keep it".
1 Samuel 7:3-14	Samuel delivers Israel from the Philistines; after the victory he set up a stone and called it Ebenezer, saying hitherto has the Lord helped us; the Philistines stop coming into Israel during the lifetime of Samuel, and restore some territory that they had taken				The exact date is not known
1 Samuel 7:15	After the battle Samuel judges Israel all the days of his life				This means he continued to judge Israel during Saul's reign
1 Samuel 8	When Samuel is old he appoints his two sons, Joel and Abiah, as judges; his sons are corrupt and take bribes; the Israelites ask for a king; God warns them that they are rejecting Him, and their desire for a king will bring terrible things upon the nation; the Israelites refuse to listen and demand a king who can lead them into battle	2908	1100	BC	1 Chronicles 15:17 says that Samuel's son Joel had a son named Heman, who was a singer and a prophet in King David's administration (1 Chronicles 25:1). Heman was legendary for his wisdom (1 Kings 4:31).
1 Samuel 10:1; Acts 13:21	Samuel anoints Saul as king, and he begins his 40 year reign over Israel	2908	1100	BC	We can figure this date out by back-dating the reigns of the kings from the year the first temple was finished, which is a known year in history. This is the year the kingdom of Israel began (since Israel now has a king).
2 Samuel 2:10	Ishbosheth (son of Saul) is born 40 years before he becomes king	2908	1100	BC	This means Ishbosheth was born the year that Saul became Israel's king
1 Samuel 11	Nahash the Ammonite encamps against Jabeshgilead; Saul puts together an army and defeats him, and saves the city; the kingdom is then renewed at Gilgal and Saul is established as king	2908	1100	BC	When Saul later dies in 1060 BC, the men of Jabeshgilead will enter Philistine territory to retrieve his corpse and give it a proper burial (1 Samuel 31:11-13)
1 Samuel 12	At Gilgal Samuel rebukes Israel for their sin of asking for a king; he tells the Israelites that if they obey the Lord then their king would as well, but if they rebelled against God then He would be against them; God sends thunder and rain at the time of the wheat harvest as a sign against them	2908	1100	BC
1 Samuel 13:1-14	Saul attacks the Philistines in the 2nd year of his reign; 2000 men were with Saul at Michmash while 1000 were with his son Jonathan at Gibeah; Jonathan smote the Philistine garrison; Saul waited 7 days for Samuel to come and offer the sacrifice, but when he didn't appear Saul offered it himself; Samuel then appeared and said that because Saul had done this his kingdom would not continue	2909	1099	BC	Saul lost the kingdom in the second year of his reign. His dynasty would not continue after him.
1 Samuel 14	Jonathan and his armorbearer went and fought the Philistines; God gives them a victory; Saul forbids any of his soldiers from eating any food; Jonathan isn't aware of this and eats some honey; Saul tries to kill Jonathan for this, but the people stop him	2909	1099	BC
1 Samuel 7:2	The Ark's time in Kirjathjearim ends after 20 years	2917	1091	BC
2 Samuel 5:4	David is born 30 years before he begins reigning	2918	1090	BC	Saul had been king for 10 years when David was born
1 Samuel 15	Samuel commands Saul to destroy Amalek; Saul disobeys and spares Agag the king, and keeps the best of the loot; God says that because Saul disobeyed, God rejected him as king				This happened at some point between the time when David was born and Samuel died, but the exact year is unknown.
1 Samuel 16	God sends Samuel to anoint David as king				This must have happened after David was born but before Samuel died. If the timeline is correct the David couldn't have been more than 8 years old at the time.
Antiquities of the Jews 6:13:5	Samuel is judge for the first 18 years of Saul's reign	2926	1082	BC	This is according to Josephus. However, I don't think this can possibly be right. When Samuel died David was already living in the wilderness of Paran. However, according to this timeline David would have been just 8 years old. Samuel must have died much later.	(link)
1 Samuel 25:1	Samuel dies in the 18th year of Saul's reign (according to Josephus)	2926	1082	BC	No one knows how old he was when he died, which means it's impossible to tell what year he was born
2 Samuel 4:4	Mephibosheth (son of Jonathan and grandson of Saul) is born 5 years before Saul dies	2943	1065	BC
1 Samuel 27:1-7	David takes his 600 men and moves to Philistine territory 1 year and 4 months before Saul is killed; he lives in the territory of Achish, king of Gath; Achish gave him the town of Ziklag as a home	2946	1062	BC	This means David was 28 years old when he had to flee Israel. At this point David had two wives: Ahinoam and Abigail.
1 Samuel 27:8-9	David spends his time in Ziklag invading the Geshurites, the Gezrites, and the Amalekites	2947	1061	BC	1 Samuel 27:8 says that these were remnants of the old Canaanite nations that God had commanded the Israelites to destroy long ago.
1 Samuel 28	Saul is worried about his upcoming battle with the Phlistines; he tries to inquire of the Lord but gets no response; he goes to a witch in Endor and asks her to bring up the dead prophet Samuel; Samuel tells Saul that God is his enemy and Saul will die the following day	2948	1060	BC
1 Samuel 29, 30	David tries to join Achish in the battle against Saul, but the other Philistine leaders make him return to Ziklag; when he returns home he finds the entire town destroyed and the wives and children kidnapped; David and his men rescue them and recover everything	2948	1060	BC
1 Samuel 31	Saul's sons Jonathan, Abinadab, and Melchishua are killed in battle with the Philistines; Saul is hit at random by an enemy archer, and when he sees that he is fatally wounded he kills himself; his armorbearer then commits suicide as well	2948	1060	BC
1 Samuel 31	The next day the Philistines find Saul and his sons on the battlefield; they put his armor in the house of Ashtaroth and nailed his corpse to the wall in Bethshan; the inhabitants of Jabeshgilead recover the bodies at night and bury them under the tree at Jabesh, and then fast for 7 days	2948	1060	BC	Why did the men of Jabeshgilead do this? Because Saul saved them at the beginning of his reign. They were repaying the favor.
1 Kings 2:11	David's reign over Judah begins 40 years before Solomon is made king	2948	1060	BC	The kingdom of Israel is 40 years old
2 Samuel 1	Three days after the death of Saul, a man goes to Ziklag and tells David that he killed Saul; David puts him to death; David laments the passing of Saul	2948	1060	BC
1 Kings 2:11	David moves to Hebron and reigns over Judah for 7 years	2948	1060	BC
2 Samuel 2:8-10	Ishbosheth begins reigning over Israel after his father Saul dies, when Abner the captain of Saul's army puts him on the throne	2948	1060	BC
2 Samuel 2:10, 4:5-12	Ishbosheth is assassinated by Rechab and Baanah after reigning over Israel for 2 years; when they tell David what they did, David executes them	2950	1058	BC
1 Kings 2:11	David moves to Jerusalem and reigns over Israel for 33 years	2955	1053	BC
2 Chronicles 12:13	Rehoboam (son of Solomon) is born	2987	1021	BC	Rehoboam was actually born before Solomon became king.
1 Kings 1:5-53	David's son Adonijah tries to make himself the king; Nathan the prophet works with Bathsheba to put down his rebellion and anoint Solomon as king instead	2988	1020	BC
1 Kings 2:11	David makes his son Solomon king after reigning for 40 years	2988	1020	BC	Scholars think that Solomon was 20 years old when he became king but that is just a guess. The Bible doesn't tell us how old he was when he died. If that is true then Solomon was born in 1040 BC and had Rehoboam when he was 19. The kingdom of Israel is now 80 years old.	(link)
2 Samuel 5:4; 1 Kings 2:10	David dies when he is 70 years old, and is buried in the city of David	2988	1020	BC
1 Kings 6:1	Solomon's reign begins 4 years before the construction of the temple is started	2988	1020	BC	Since we know when the first temple was built we can date the kings based on this information
1 Kings 2:39	Solomon kills Shimei in the 3rd year of his reign when Shimei breaks his promise to not leave Jerusalem, and travels to Gath to retrieve a servant who had run away	2991	1017	BC	Solomon did this because David told him to (1 Kings 2:8-9)
1 Kings 6:1	Construction of the first temple begins in the 480th year after the exodus from Egypt	2992	1016	BC	480 years (minus 1 since it was at the beginning of the 480th year). Since we know there were only 480 years between the exodus and the time of the kings, that means Judges can't be in chronological order because the reigns of the judges are too long if they happened sequentially.
1 Kings 6:38, 8:1-66	The first temple is finished in Solomon's 11th year; Solomon fetches the Ark of the Covenant out of Jerusalem and moves it into the temple; Solomon prays over the temple; Solomon offers 22,000 oxen and 120,00 sheep as peace offerings; Solomon holds a 14-day feast for all Israel	2999	1009	BC	The Ark of the Covenant was taken out of the tabernacle in the days of Eli. David moved it to a tent in Jerusalem during his reign, but he never returned it to the tabernacle. The Ark had been out of place for 103 years.
1 Kings 9:10-11	In Solomon's 20th year Hiram comes to see the cities that Solomon gave to him; the cities displeased Hiram	3008	1000	BC
2 Chronicles 8:1-2	In Solomon's 20th year he repairs the cities that Hiram restored to him	3008	1000	BC

Jeroboam didn't believe God's promise to him to make him a kingdom if he was obedient.

It looks like it actually happened first. This is one of many cases where the gospels present things in a different order.

Matthew 11:20-24	Jesus pronounces woe upon Chorazin and Capernaum	4037	29	AD	There is no mention of the 70 who were sent out, so appears to be a different conversation from the one that is recorded in Luke 10:13-15.

Mark 3:21	When Jesus' friends hear what He is doing, they try to lay hold on Him because they think He is crazy	4037	29	AD	Jesus had already gone to Nazareth and been rejected the previous year, so this isn't surprising.

Matthew 13:55-58; Mark 6:1-3	When Jesus is in His own country, people are offended because they know who His family is	4037	29	AD	This seems to be the second time that Jesus made a trip to Nazareth. The last time He visited that city the people tried to kill Him.

Matthew 27:2; Mark 15:1; John 18:28	Jesus is bound and taken from Caiaphas to Pilate at the hall of judgment	4038	30	AD	Third, Jesus is brought to Pilate

Matthew 27:22-23; Mark 15:13-14; Luke 23:21-23	The multitude demands that Jesus be crucified	4038	30	AD
Matthew 27:24	Pilate washes his hands and says that he is innocent of the blood of that “just person”	4038	30	AD

John 19:9	Pilate goes back into the judgment hall and tries to question Jesus, but Jesus won't talk to him	4038	30	AD	Keep in mind that at this point Jesus had been scourged and the crown of thorns had been put on His head.

Matthew 27:37; Mark 15:26; John 19:19	Pilate puts a title on the cross: Jesus of Nazareth the King of the Jews	4038	30	AD	This formed an acrostic: YHWH (the name of God)
John 19:21-22	The chief priests object to this sign, but Pilate ignores them	4038	30	AD

Matthew 27:50; Mark 15:37; John 19:30	Jesus says “It is finished”, bows His head, and gives up the ghost	4038	30	AD
Daniel 9:25	The Messiah the prince is cut off after 69 weeks of years (483 prophetic years / 476 calendar years)	4038	30	AD	Matthew 12:40 says that Jesus would be in the grave for 3 days and 3 nights. There is no way to get 3 days and 3 nights from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning no matter what calendar scheme you use. This means Jesus must have been crucified on a Thursday. Given that fact and when Passover falls, the only possible date for the crucifixion is 30 AD. That matches the 69 “weeks of years” prophecy of Daniel, and it means that God's judgment came upon Jerusalem exactly 40 years later.
Matthew 27:51; Luke 23:45	The veil of the temple is torn in two	4038	30	AD
Matthew 27:52-53	The graves are opened and many saints are resurrected and go into Jerusalem	4038	30	AD	Matthew is the only gospel that mentions this. It clearly happened, but we aren't given any details about it.

Luke 23:56	The women prepare spices and ointments for the body of Jesus and then rest on the Sabbath	4038	30	AD	According to the Mosaic Law the day after the Passover is always a Sabbath regardless of what day of the week it falls on. Jewish days went from evening to morning (Genesis 1:5). In 30 AD the Passover began Wednesday night (March 22; when Jesus was arrested) and finished Thursday afternoon (March 23; when Jesus died). That Friday was a Sabbath because it was the day after the Passover. Saturday was then the regular Sabbath, so there were two Sabbath days in a row.	(link)
Matthew 27:65	The next day the chief priests ask Pilate to guard Jesus' tomb; he said “ye have a watch”, so they secure the tomb	4038	30	AD
Matthew 28:2-4	On the 1st day of the week an angel of the Lord rolls back the stone and sits on it	4038	30	AD	If the crucifixion occurred in 30 AD then this took place on March 26. It is worth noting that the word “Sabbath” in Matthew 28:1 is plural, not singular. That fits with the theory there were two Sabbath days between the crucifixion and resurrection, which only happened in 30 AD.
Matthew 28:4	The guards at the tomb see the angel, are terrified, and “became as dead men”	4038	30	AD	You have to do a lot of digging to piece together the order of events that happened on the day of the resurrection. It is an enormous challenge to put together the pieces from the 4 gospels into a single account. (If you doubt me then try it.) This is my best guess as to how things unfolded that day.

Mark 16:5-7; Luke 24:3-7	The women enter the tomb and see two men; one of them says that Jesus has risen, and commands the women to tell His disciples	4038	30	AD	It seems that the women received this news from both an angel (who seems to have been outside the tomb) and from two men (who were inside the tomb).
Mark 16:8	Some of the women are so terrified that they run away and tell no one	4038	30	AD
John 20:4	After Mary Magdalene talks to the disciples, Peter and John run to the tomb; John gets there first	4038	30	AD
John 20:6-7; Luke 24:12	John only looks inside the tomb, but Peter goes into the tomb and sees the linen clothes and the napkin	4038	30	AD

Luke 24:8-11	The other women tell the disciples what they had seen but they aren't believed	4038	30	AD

Luke 24:13-30	Two men who are on the road to Emmaus encountered Jesus; they only recognize Him after He breaks bread, but then He vanishes	4038	30	AD
Luke 24:31-35	The two men who recognized Jesus immediately return to tell His disciples that they had seen the Lord	4038	30	AD
John 20:19; Mark 16:14	That evening on the same day, the disciples are assembled together; Jesus suddenly appears in their midst	4038	30	AD
Luke 24:36-37	The disciples are terrified and think that Jesus is a ghost	4038	30	AD

Luke 24:49	Jesus commands them to remain in Jerusalem until they receive power from on high	4038	30	AD
John 20:24-25	Thomas wasn't there; when the disciples tell him what happened he says he won't believe unless he sees Jesus himself	4038	30	AD
John 20:26	8 days later the disciples gather again, and Thomas is there; Jesus appears in their midst once again	4038	30	AD
John 20:27-28	Jesus tells Thomas to not be faithless, but believing; Thomas answers “my Lord and my God”	4038	30	AD
John 21:1	After these things Jesus shows Himself to His disciples at the sea of Tiberias	4038	30	AD
John 21:2-3	Peter, Thomas, Nathanael, the sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples go fishing	4038	30	AD
John 21:3	The group of disciples fishes all night but catches nothing	4038	30	AD
John 21:6-11	Jesus comes and commands them to cast the net on the right side of the ship; they then catch 153 fish	4038	30	AD	The only other place where you will find the number 153 in the Bible is in 2 Kings 1:9-14. Ahaziah sent 153 men to arrest Elisha. Of those men, two thirds were killed by divine fire from Heaven and one third were saved.
John 21:7	John tells Peter that the man who is speaking to them is the Lord	4038	30	AD

Acts 1:12	The disciples return to Jerusalem from mount Olivet	4038	30	AD	The dates assigned for Acts seem to be generally accepted (plus or minus a year or two).

However, these dates seem pretty reasonable based on what is known.

Acts 12:19	The next day Peter can't be found, so Herod has the prison keepers put to death	4051	43	AD	Acts 12:4 says this happened at Easter (KJV). The NIV translates that word as “Passover”, but that is a clear error because the days of unleavened bread were already over (verse 3), and those take place the day immediately following Passover – but the king was waiting for a day in the future! Herod was going to celebrate the pagan festival that today we call Easter – not the Passover, which was already past.
Acts 12:20-23	When the people of Tyre and Sidon call Herod a god, an angel of the Lord kills him because he doesn't glorify God	4052	44	AD

Acts 14:19	Jews from Antioch and Iconium go to Lystra and persuade the people to stone Paul and leave him for dead	4056	48	AD	This can't have been the time when Paul had his vision of the “third heaven”. The timing is off by 5 years. If Paul had died at this point (and remained dead) then none of his epistles would have been written. That would have been a staggering loss.
Acts 14:20	Paul gets up, and the next day he and Barnabas go to Derbe	4056	48	AD

Galatians 2:11	Paul writes the book of Galatians while in Antioch	4057	49	AD	This seems to be the 1st letter than Paul wrote. If the date is correct then it was written 15 years after Paul encountered Jesus on the road to Damascus. That also means the book of James was written 2 years earlier. Why did Paul write the book of Galatians? To address the false teaching that people are saved by works instead of faith. [There are now 2 books of the New Testament.]	(link)

Acts 15:38	Barnabas wants to take John Mark with them, but Paul disagrees because Mark abandoned them at Pamphylia	4057	49	AD	John Mark left them just the previous year (Acts 13:13). It's not surprising Paul still remembered it.

	Luke writes the book of Luke	4072	64	AD	This seems to have been the 1st gospel that was written. Based on Acts 1:1 this gospel was clearly written before Acts, so if Acts was written in 64 AD then this book must have been written in that year or at some earlier point.

	Someone wrote the book of Hebrews	4073	65	AD	No one knows who wrote this book or when it was written. 65 AD is a guess based on the fact that Timothy was still alive at the time (Hebrews 13:23). I don't believe Paul wrote it because Paul himself said that the proof of his authorship was his signature, and he didn't sign Hebrews (2 Thessalonians 3:17). The author of Hebrews also said he was told the gospel by others (Hebrews 2:3-4), while Paul claimed the proof of his apostleship was that he was told it from the Lord Jesus (Galatians 1:12). [There are now 20 books of the New Testament.]	(link)
	Matthew writes the gospel of Matthew	4074	66	AD	This makes Matthew the 3rd gospel that was written (36 years after the resurrection). Matthew, Mark, and Luke were all written while a great many witnesses to the life of Jesus were still alive. [There are now 21 books of the New Testament.]	(link)

	President Bush announces a new Middle East peace plan (“Madrid conference”), in which Israel will be forced to surrender parts of its land in return for peace – including parts of Jerusalem.

The next day the storm (which by now was hundreds of miles wide) smashed into New England, then traveled down the East Coast into the Carolinas. It caused millions of dollars in damage and was nicknamed “The Perfect Storm”. (The storm was so significant that a book and a movie were written about it, both named The Perfect Storm.) President Bush owned a home in Kennebunkport, Maine, that was heavily damaged in the storm. The storm hit his home on the same day that the President initiated the Madrid Peace Conference, in which Israel was pressured to give up land.	(link) and (link)
	The Madrid Peace Conference is moved to Washington, D.C., making it the first time that conference is held on American soil.

	In April 2005 President Bush meets with Israeli Prime Minster Sharon to set a timetable for Israel's withdrawal from 25 Jewish settlements. The process is started on August 16 and completed on August 23, 2005. Approximately ten thousand Jews were forcibly evicted from their land. The reason this happened is because President Bush put enormous pressure on Israel to evict them and give that land to the Palestinians. In fact, the United States offered to give Israel $1.2 billion to relocate the settlers. (In other words, the United States was actually paying the bill to make this happen.) This was the first step in evicting all Jews from Gaza to further Bush's plan to establish a Palestinian state. The eviction of these settlers is not a minor task. Thousands of people lived there. The area was a major agricultural center of Israel and produced about 15% of Israel's vegetables. It takes 10,000 troops to force the settlers to leave. After they are evicted the army demolishes their homes and destroys their settlements. The last settler is removed on August 23, and on that date President Bush praises Prime Minster Sharon for his “courageous decision to withdraw from Gaza and parts of the West Bank.”	6013	2005	AD	On August 23 a tropical depression formed over the Bahamas, which grew into Hurricane Katrina. The total damages from that storm came to $125 billion.	(link) and (link)

Revelation 12:3-4	The devil and his demonic army will invade this world in a highly visible way – most likely pretending to be aliens.
