Interpreting the Biblical Timeline
The migration of Jacob and his sons to Egypt due to a famine sets the stage for the book of Exodus. This migration spans about 2500 years from around 4,000 BCE to 1500 or 1600 BCE according to the literal interpretation of the biblical timeline, with most events covered in Genesis chapters 1 to 11. However, this timeline is not widely accepted among biblical scholars, with only those on the conservative side agreeing with it.
