51 
years from Abraham to the Exodus of Israel. By adding 
126 to 1580 we arrive at the year B.C. 1706 — the very year of 
a remarkable synchronism in the histories of Israel and Egypt. 
In the first chapter of the Book of Exodus it is recorded that 
“ Joseph died and all his brethren and all that generation”; 
and then in the verse hut one succeeding it is written : “ Now 
there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.” 
In the 6th of Exodus, v. 16, mention is made of the death of 
Levi, the brother of Joseph and the last living member of that 
generation, as we may fairly presume, at the age of 137. 
According to the computation of all the events recorded in 
Scriptui’e as having happened during the 430 years from the 
call of Abraham to the Exode, Levi's death took place B.C. 
1707; and, according to Egyptian chronology, the overthrow 
of the Shepherd Dynasty by Pharaoh Amosis, and the rise of 
the celebrated eighteenth Dynasty — an event as important in 
the annals of Egypt as the Norman Conquest in English 
history — occurred, according to Manetho, as interpreted by 
Brugsch* and others, in the following year of B.C. 1706.
