When did God build the stage? According to a strict interpretation of biblical numbers, a little before what we refer to as 4000 BC. When did He bring Israel out of Egypt into Canaan? He brought them out of Egypt in 1446 BC and into Canaan after they spent 40 years in the wilderness. David reigned around 1000 BC. The northern kingdom was destroyed in 721 BC, and the temple was destroyed and Judah exiled in 586 BC. The first exiles from Judah had been taken captive in 605
