According to tradition, the Exodus took place in 1312 BCE.
1 Kings 14:25-28 places the invasion of Shoshenq, or Shishak, in the fifth year of Rehoboam. The invasion has been dated at approximately 925 BCE based on biblical texts, although a recent Egyptological evaluation has refined the date of the invasion to 917 BCE. Since The Bible says Solomon reigned from 40 years, we can place the beginning of his reign to 970 or 962 BCE. 1 Kings 6:1 then gives us a link back to the biblical Exodus from Egypt when it says that it occurred 480 years before the fourth year of Solomon's reign. This places the time the Israelites left Egypt at around 1450 to perhaps 1440 BCE. A date later than about 1300 BCE causes problems for the biblical record of the Israelite kings, since the date of the destruction of Israel has been reliably established at 722 BCE, with a margin of error of less than one year.
We can not rely on any non-biblical records for the date of the Exodus, as there is nothing in the extensive Egyptian records that would directly or indirectly refer to the exodus of a large number of slaves from Egypt at any time during this period, or even as late as, say, 1200 BCE. In fact, more than 90 per cent of scholars are reported as believing that there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible.
The Ipuwer papyrus describes Egypt's experiencing the Plagues: "Pestilence is throughout the land....the river is blood, death is not scarce...there is no food...neither fruit nor herbs can be found...barley has perished...all is ruin...the statues are burned" (Professor John van Seters, Journal of Egyptian Archaeology no. 50). The plagues were also described by ancient historians, including Herodotus and Diodorus. The Exodus is mentioned by Strabo, Berosus, Artapanus, Numenius, Justin, and Tacitus.
But in any case, few nations are content to record embarrassing setbacks honestly. Even today, British and American textbooks describe the American Revolution in very different ways.
An example of the above principle:
The destruction of Sennacherib's army at the walls of Jerusalem was denied by secular theorists, because the Assyrians made no mention of it. But then it was found that Berosus and Herodotus both state that Sennacherib's military campaign in Judea ended in plague and defeat. It should not surprise us that the Assyrians themselves didn't record their own losses.
It is only the Hebrew Bible, because of its Divine origin, that exposes the faults of its own people and even magnifies them.
Other Christians, mindful of the Amarna letters and other accumulating evidence that the Egyptians were still in complete control of the land of Canaan until much later, suggest a date around 1250 BCE.
Scholars say that the Hebrews were never in Egypt and there never was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. H. G. M. Williamson (The World of Ancient Israel, The concept of Israel in transition) points to a consensus among scholars that the real origin of the Hebrew people was one of peaceful internal migration from the Canaanite cities along the coast and the fertile valleys, to the mountainous hinterland, where they eventually formed the nation states of Israel and Judah.
Answer:According to Torah-tradition, the Exodus of the Hebrews from Egypt took place in 1312 BCE as described in the Torah (Exodus ch.12).Archaeological evidence has made this traditional date of the Exodus untenable, and some liberal Christians have suggested that the Exodus really took place shortly before 1200 BCE, when Israelites are known to have begun to arrive in the Palestinian hinterland. This would mean that the Israelites were in Egypt from around 1680 to 1250 BCE. Modern Jews generally believe an intermediate date of round 1313 BCE.
The clear consensus of scholars is that the Israelites as a nation were never in Egypt, and that the Exodus from Egypt never happened as described in the Bible.
Although this move is reported in Genesis 45-47, there is little or no archaeological evidence that the Israelites ever lived in Egypt.
Answer:
According to tradition, it was in 1522 BCE.
In response to the above answer, "little evidence" is good enough. "No evidence" doesn't disprove anything. The only relevant rebuttal would be if there's evidence that they didn't exist or were all elsewhere the entire time.
According to tradition, it was in 1522 BCE.
What evidence is there of the Israelite Exodus after their sojourn in Egypt?
Professor John van Seters (Journal of Egyptian Archaeology no. 50) describes how the Ipuwer papyrus records Egypt's having experienced the Plagues ("Pestilence is throughout the land....the river is blood, death is not scarce...there is no food...neither fruit nor herbs can be found...barley has perished...all is ruin...the statues are burned"). The plagues were also described by ancient historians, including Herodotus and Diodorus. The Exodus is mentioned by Strabo, Berosus, Artapanus, Numenius, Justin, and Tacitus.See the link:

In no other religious text can one find such openness. None of the Israelites were immune to strong criticism: Abraham (Genesis 16:5), Reuben (Gen.ch.35), Simeon and Levi (Gen.ch.34 and 49), Judah (Gen.ch.38), Joseph's brothers (Gen.ch.37), Moses (Numbers ch.20), Aaron (Exodus 32:2-4), Samson (Judges 14:1-3), Eli's sons (1 Samuel 2:12), Samuel's sons (1 Samuel 8:1-3), Saul (1 Samuel ch.15), David (2 Samuel ch.11-12), Solomon (1 Kings ch.11), and many others.
