Is the Exodus Mentioned in the Prophets?
The exodus is mentioned in the prophets. Even if we were to take a more sceptical view of the penatuche and think its compose of these later sources, the date of our earliest exodus references wouldn't change much because there are multiple references to it in the prophet's works. We would thus conclude that the story had to be in circulation by around 850 b c, a century before micah and josea. The fact that we have multiple such references, ecause there are others, means that the tradition was widespread, and thus has to be dated earlier.
