When did Moses give Israel the Law?

Moses gave Israel the Law around 1500 B.C., about 500 years before King David and Solomon, who appeared near 1000 B.C. The context places this event in Old Testament history as the next major marker before David and the first Temple.

Les explains that from Genesis chapter 12 until Acts, God was dealing with Israel, giving them the Law and the Temple. He places Moses about 500 years before King David and Solomon, who were near 1000 B.C., so Moses gave Israel the Law around 1500 B.C. That timeline then stretches to 29 A.D., the time of Christ's first advent.
