¥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.
