Indicators of Achronology
Explicit Markers
Dates and Passage of Time
The most obvious indicator of achronology is when an event is dated and explicitly appears out of order. Examples follow:
- Shemot 16:35 – Shemot 16 opens in the first year of the Wilderness period, yet mentions the eating of manna throughout the forty years of the nation's journey to Canaan.
- Bemidbar 1-9 – Bemidbar 1 is dated to the second month of the second year in the Wilderness, yet Bemidbar 7 and 9 explicitly backtrack to the first month. Bemidbar 7 is dated to the "day that Moshe finished erecting the Mishkan", which Shemot 40:17 teaches took place on the first of the first month, while Bemidbar 9 similarly opens "בַּשָּׁנָה הַשֵּׁנִית לְצֵאתָם מֵאֶרֶץ מִצְרַיִם בַּחֹדֶשׁ הָרִאשׁוֹן"
Ages
Passage of Time Sometimes the timing of an event is marked not through calendrical dates but through the passage of time. Here, too, calculations can point to an explicit achronology. Examples follow:
- Shemot 16:35
