When did Moses give Israel the Law in the Bible timeline?

Moses gave Israel the Law around 1500 B.C., which the context places 500 years before King David and Solomon’s Temple near 1000 B.C. This falls within the period from Genesis 12 to Acts when God dealt primarily with the nation of Israel.

Les explains that after the Abrahamic Covenant, God dealt with the nation of Israel, giving them the Law, the Temple, and the promise. In the timeline, Moses appears 500 years before David and Solomon, so the giving of the Law is dated to about 1500 B.C. From Christ’s first advent at 29 A.D. back to David and Solomon is about 1000 years.
