Solomon was king for 40 years, till the year 997. 1 Kings 6:1 states, “In the 480th* year after the Israelites came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year after Solʹo·mon became king over Israel, he began to build the house of Jehovah in the second month of the fourth year of his reign”. This means he was 3 full years and one month into his reign when he started. Therefore, what year did the Israelites come out of Egypt? (*480th is ordinal)
The 480th is an ordinal number, representing 479 complete years. Hence, 479 added to 1034 gives the date 1513 B.C.E. as the year that Israel came out of Egypt.

While 1513 B.C.E. is on record for the year that Israel came out of Egypt. In Exodus 12:40, Moses records that “the dwelling of the sons of Israel, who had dwelt in Egypt, was 430 years.” Therefore, what year did their dwelling in Egypt begin?

Abraham entered Canaan in 1943 B.C.E. Now to date the stream of time farther back, to Noah, this is done by use of the time periods supplied for us in Genesis 11:10 to 12:4 which gives a total of 427 years to the date when it started raining.
Adding 427 years to 1943 B.C.E. brings us to 2370 B.C.E. when the flood began. Going still farther back, the Bible dates the period from the flood all the way to Adam’s creation. This is determined by Genesis 5:3-29 and Genesis 7:6, 11. Adding 1,656 years to our previous date of 2370 B.C.E., we arrive at 4026 B.C.E. when Adam was created.
