The Calculation of the Time of Ratification

(1) The Israelites entered Egypt in 1876 BC

Adding 430 years (the duration of the Israelites' dwelling in Egypt [Exod 12:40-41; Gal 3:17]) to the year of the exodus results in 1876 BC as the year the Israelites entered Egypt.

1446 BC (year of the exodus) +430 years = 1876 BC

(2) Jacob was born in 2006 BC

Jacob was 130 years old when he entered Egypt (Gen 47:9).

1876 BC +130 years = 2006 BC

(3) Isaac was born in 2066 BC

Isaac was 60 years old when he became the father of Jacob. (Gen 25:26).

2006 BC +60 years =2066 BC

Incidentally, at the time of Isaac's birth (2066 BC), Abraham was 100 years old (Gen 21:5).

(4) The covenant of the torch was ratified in 2082 BC

Abraham took Hagar after having dwelled in Canaan for ten years, when he was 85 years old (Gen 12:4; 16:3). Abraham was 86 years old when Ishmael was born to him through Hagar (Gen 16:16). Therefore, the covenant of the torch was ratified when Abraham was 84 years old, before taking Hagar as his wife. This was 16 years before Isaac's birth (100 - 84 = 16). Therefore, it can be deduced that 2082 BC was the year for the ratification of the covenant of the torch.

2066 BC +16 years = 2082 BC
