When Abram arrived in Canaan he was 75 years old (Gn 12:4-5) and because Hagar was pregnant with Ishmael 10 years later (16:3-4), the War of Nine Kings (Gn 14:1-17), which occurred a year before, must be dated in 1954 BCE. During that war, Abram shot Chedorlaomer the king of Elam.

Abram's journey in Egypt is extremely well dated in the Bible. Abram was 75 years old and he came to Canaan via Haran, then Hebron53 was founded (Gn 12:4-9; Nb 13:22) but shortly after Abram went into Egypt due to a famine in Canaan (Gn 12:10-15). When Abram entered Egypt, the pharaoh he met wanted to marry Sarai, his wife. Despite his failure to marry Sarai, he gave him a lot of cattle as well as male and female servants (Gn 12:14-20). When Abram returned to Canaan, the Transjordan kings revolt was at its peak (Gn 14:4), presumably because taxes (or looting) became unbearable.

The long route followed by Abraham (along the Euphrates)64 for completing his trip from Ur (Sumer) to Haran, then to Shechem and finally to Tanis (Egypt), is in harmony with the historical context of that time.

There was an important trade of tin, which came from Elam to Carchemish (then to Aleppo and Ugarit) via Larsa and Ešnunna. Consequently, Abraham could have left Ur to go to Carchemish with a caravan of 300 donkeys and 300 men (i.e. a crowd of around 1200-2000 people). When he arrived at Haran “caravan city”, Abraham had to buy camels to continue his trip to the south of Canaan (Negeb) by the road called the King’s Road, because some parts of that road crossed dry and hot regions (northern Arabia). When he arrived in Canaan, Abram broke camp and journeyed toward the Negeb but afterward went down toward Egypt because of a famine (Gn 12:9-10). The way to Egypt is called the “way to Shur65” in the Bible (Gn 16:7, 20:1) and many scholars (Hoffmeier, Moshier: 2013, 485-510) think that the “Ways of Horus (w3wt Ḥr)” was the actual name of that route, which connected Egypt and Asia (the earliest occurrences date to the 5th dynasty).

65 Shur means “wall” in Hebrew (Gn 49:22), this could have a link with the “Walls of the Ruler” built by Amenemhat I.

It is interesting to note that the biblical description of southern Canaan as well as northern Egypt is rigorously accurate and in line with what archaeologists have discovered. According to the biblical text, Abraham founded Hebron “Confederation” (Gn 23:2) and then Beer-Sheba “Well of the Oath” (Gn 21:31) and finally Tanis “Moving tents” (Nb 13:22). The geographical description of these cities as well as their location (below) with respect to the “Way of Shur” (the “Ways of Horus”) is in full agreement with archaeology. The city called Kadesh “Holy place” (Gn 14:7) corresponds to ‘Ain Qadeis in Sinai (“Holy Fountain” in Arabic) close to ‘Ain-Qudeirat/ Hazzar-addar (Nb 34:3-5).
