Approx. time frame?

[Mchristian]

A few weeks ago my father-in-law and I were conversing about religion over dinner and he asked the following question, " how long
was it that moses came into being after creation and then how long was it after that that christ was born?"

I guessed 2000 years, but was unsure. I thought I read 1270 years somewhere.

Any way I’d know the correct answer so I can get back to him. Thanks in advance for any help!

May God bless you all!

There’s the Proclomation of the Birth of Christ, which has a lot of the ‘time-frame’ leading up to Christ’s birth, but where the years come from I don’t know (probably the Bible and history?)

Britannica has Moses in the 13th century B.C.

Another aspect in which the new translation is significantly better than the older versions is in terms of gender-inclusivity. The new translation explicitly mentions the creation of “man and woman,” lists Sarah along with Abraham, and includes “Ruth and the Judges”; in contrast, the older versions have no mention of any women whatsoever!​

Got to love gender-inclusivity.

Oi, tell me about it. I didn’t read the part above it, that was just the first thing I thought of that had dates, so I searched real quick and posted the first thing I found.

Of course, the ‘analysis’ was written by a Jesuit…

I know, and that is the sad part.
