Timing of events and stopping places during the Exodus, from Egypt to Jericho across the Jordan

Not every stop and event of the Exodus can be assigned a precise date, especially during the period of wandering and waiting for the first generation to die off. The following milestones are those that can be determined accurately, or with fair certainty, based on specific Scriptures. For perspective on where this time-line fits into the greater history of the world, see our primary timeline.
