    How long were the Israelites in Egypt?

    I’d be glad to. But I already explained it and you didn’t listen. So, since I put so much work into explaining it in a video, I’ll let you watch that.

    How long were the Israelites in Egypt?

    Oh, I’m sorry. You thought I was referencing something extra-biblical. No, I’m referencing Galatians 3:17, which is in your Bible. Paul says that the 430 years starts with Abraham receiving the promise, and ends with Moses receiving the law. Can I assume that you accept Paul as a reliable...

    How long were the Israelites in Egypt?

    Yes, the promise concerning his seed. It’s what he had just arrived in Canaan, when he was 75

    In what ways does the Apocrypha point to Jesus as Savior?

    Thank you. That’s something I’m much more interested in.

    In what ways does the Apocrypha point to Jesus as Savior?

    Ok, well, if you’re not going to tell me what your stance is, then I’m not able to understand what it is you’re arguing for or against, whether it’s the inclusion of all or some of these books, or the exclusion of them. Therefore, I won’t read your gigantic book that you posted. There’s no...

    How long were the Israelites in Egypt?

    All I can show is the math from Abraham to Jacob’s arrival in Egypt. But Paul says that there’s 430 years from Abraham’s promise to The receiving of the law (on Sinai, the same year as the Exodus) So using Paul’s statement, you can subtract the 215 years from the 430 years.

    In what ways does the Apocrypha point to Jesus as Savior?

    What’s your stance on the Apocrypha? Should some of the Apocryphal books be included? Or do you side with the Protestant canon?

    In what ways does the Apocrypha point to Jesus as Savior?

    I didn’t read any of that huge book that you just wrote there. Please first tell me if you agree if the Apocryphal books (or at least some of them) should be included in the Bible. I need to know what your stance is on that before I can understand any points you’re trying to make. Once you tell...

    In what ways does the Apocrypha point to Jesus as Savior?

    I also don’t know what you mean when you say that Maccabees was not in everyone’s Bibles. Uh, yea it was. Maccabees was in everyone’s Bibles. It was in the western latin Bibles, the eastern Greek and Russian Bibles, the southern Coptic and Ethiopian Bibles. Even the Protestant Bibles had...

    How long were the Israelites in Egypt?

    I don’t know what you mean by dual house theology. But I do know that Paul says the 430 years starts with Abraham receiving the promise. This agrees with what the Septuagint says.

    In what ways does the Apocrypha point to Jesus as Savior?

    I have a hard time understanding what your motive is. You have never even once told me what books you think ought to be included in the Bible. I don’t know if you favor the Protestant canon, or the Catholic one, or the Eastern Orthodox one, or the Ethiopian one. So, since I don’t know where...

    How long were the Israelites in Egypt?

    Well, you have to look in Genesis at when Abraham received a promise concerning his seed. He was 75 and had just entered Canaan. Then 25 years later Isaac is born, 60 years after that Jacob is born, then 130 years later Jacob goes down into Egypt. That’s 215 years from when Abraham receives the...

    How long were the Israelites in Egypt?

    “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...

    How long were the Israelites in Egypt?

    Galatians 3:17, Paul says that the 430 years starts with Abraham arriving in Canaan. That agrees with the Septuagint which says “Egypt and Canaan” Why would Paul agree with the Septuagint over the Hebrew?

    How long were the Israelites in Egypt?

    I’m not asking you to doubt Paul’s words in Galatians 3:17. Are you? Sounds like 215 years in Egypt. Septuagint gets it right again.

    How long were the Israelites in Egypt?

    If the 430 starts with Abraham arriving in Canaan, and Abraham was 75 at that time, and then 25 years later Isaac was born, and then Jacob 60 years later, and then Jacob going to Egypt 130 years later, then… 25 + 60 + 130 = 215 Soo….if there’s 215 years from the time Abraham arrived in Canaan...

    How long were the Israelites in Egypt?

    How about this?… Paul says in Galatians 3:17 that Moses received the law 430 years after Abraham received the promise concerning his seed. Interesting. Abraham received that promise the moment he arrived in Canaan. Hmmm…is Paul saying that the 430 years applies to both Egypt and Canaan...

    How long were the Israelites in Egypt?

    You’re being very cryptic. As a result, I don’t have a clue what you’re talking about. I just want to know how it adds up to 430.

    How long were the Israelites in Egypt?

    I see it. Levi’s age is irrelevant. Kohath was already alive when they entered Egypt.
