Notes

START:[Shulman date p83] [Ussher date p50] END:*EXTRA-BIBLICAL SOURCE: Eliezer Shulman's "The Sequence of Events in the Old Testament" (page 107) indicates Joshua was 42 at the time of the Exodus and led the people of Israel for 28 years. Josephus Ant 5.117: Joshua ruled for 25 years after Moses Eusebius (Chron 31-34) gives 27 years for Joshua's rule.

Years are anno hominis — counted from Creation as year 1 — which is the frame the source computes in. The arithmetic behind each boundary is given above rather than assumed.
