¥JoshuaÕs
time is not later than 1250 BC; many conservative
Bible scholars put it back around 1400 BC.
¥HezekiahÕs
time is about 700 BC.
¥So we
need some observations (from before 1400-1250 BC
and between 1250-700 BC) of astronomical
phenomena that are accurate to a few minutes in
order to detect a 23 hour, 20 minute
discrepancy in one place and a 40 minute
discrepancy in another.
