Endnote 17 – Should the Exodus and the Israelite Settlement Be Redated?

See Jorgen Alexander Knudtzon et al., Die El-Amarna-Tafeln, 2 vols. (Leipzig J. C. Hinrichs, 1908, 1915). Hereafter numbers preceded by EA refer to the listings for the Amarna texts in this volume. Samuel A. B. Mercer prepared an edition of the Amarna letters with an English translation (The Tell el-Amarna Tablets [Toronto, 1939]), but it contains errors not in Knudtzon’s edition. For English translation of selected texts, see ANET, pp. 483–490, and A. Leo Oppenheim, Letters from Mesopotamia (Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1967), pp. 113–116, 119–134.
