EXODVS 146 yeares.
FRom the death of Ioseph, to the birth of Mo∣ses [ B] were 65 yeares. From the birth of Moses, * 1.1 to the time that God sent him to parlie & treate with Pharaoh, for the deliuerance of his people out of bondage, were 80 yeares, Exod. 7. 7.
The very next yeare after this, Israel depar∣ted out of Egypt; euen on the 14. day of the * 1.2 first moneth, Exod. chap. 12. and chap. 13. And in the third moneth of the same yeare, the Lord did publish his Lawe from heauen, descending vpō mount Sinai, Exo. 19. 1. &c. 11. &c. and ch. 20. * 1.3
And in the very beginning of the next yeare after this, the Tabernacle of God was reared vp, Exod. chap. 40. 17. 18.
Thus farre reacheth the second booke of Mo∣ses called Exodus: All the yeares wherof recke∣ned together; that is to say, 65 from the death

of Ioseph to the birth of Moses: 80 to his am∣bassage from God to Pharaoh: 1 to the giuing of the Law, and vntill the rearing of the Taber∣nacle: they grow to the number of 146.
But it may here be demaunded, what proofe we haue, that betweene the death of Ioseph, & the birth of Moses, were iust 65 yeares. We ga∣ther that it must needs be so, because that other∣wise there could not be 430 yeares from the promise of the Gospell made first to Abraham; vnto the giuing of the law. Of which interme∣diant space of time, we haue vndoudted testi∣monie, Exod. 12. 40. 41. and Gal. 3. 17. And therefore the warrantise of this is a sure confir∣mation of that.
