Quote the verse that says “213 years”.
Now to Abraham and his Seed were the promises made. He does not say, “And to seeds,” as of many, but as of one, “And to your Seed,” who is Christ. And this I say, that the law, which was four hundred and thirty years later, cannot annul the covenant that was confirmed before by God in Christ, that it should make the promise of no effect.
-Galatians 3:16-17

Paul says here that Moses received the law 430 years after Abraham received the promise concerning his seed.
When you go to Genesis, you find that Abraham received that promise about his seed when he was 75. It was right when he arrived in Canaan. 25 years later when Abraham was 100, that’s when Isaac was born. Then 60 years later Jacob was born. Then 130 years later Jacob moved to Egypt.
You have to do a little math on this:
25 + 60 + 130 = 215.
Since 215 is exactly half of 430, then Paul is saying here in Galatians 3:17 that they were 215 years in Canaan, and 215 years in Egypt. 430 total in Egypt and Canaan.
This is plain, basic, 3rd grade level math.
It’s not Calculus.
It’s not Algebra.
It’s not Trigonometry.
It’s plain basic math.
If we can use trigonometric functions to use one side of a triangle and one angle, then use Sine, Cosine, and Tangent to find the lengths of the other 2 sides, then why can’t we as Christians do PLAIN BASIC MATH that any 3rd grade CHILD can do?
2 + 2 = 4
215 + 215 = 430.
It’s that easy.
