(Davis 2008: 153; Ray 2005: 99; Steinmann 2005: 499), placing the Conquest at ca. 1400 BC and the Exodus in the mid-15th century BC. The only explanation for Judges 11:26 from the late-date camp that I am aware of is that of Kitchen (2003b: 209), who claims that Jephthah did not know what he was talking about:Brave fellow that he was, Jephthah was a roughneck, an outcast, and not exactly the kind of man who would scruple first to take a Ph.D. in local chronology at some ancient university of the Yarmuk before making strident claims to the Ammonite ruler. What we have is nothing more than the report of a brave but ignorant man’s bold bluster in favor of his people, not a mathematically precise chronological datum.3. 1 Chronicles 6:33–37. As explained above, the genealogy of Heman in 1 Chronicles 6:33–37 results in 19 generations from the time of Moses to the time of Solomon. If we use the rule of thumb of 25 years per generation, we obtain 19 x 25 = 475 years, very close to the more precise figure of 479 years in 1 Kings 6:1. Proponents of the late date have not provided an explanation for 1 Chronicle 6:33–37, as far as I know.4. Ezekiel 40:1. As Rodger Young has pointed out (this issue, 115–17) this verse provides a precise date for a Jubilee year in 574 BC. According to Jewish sources, this was the 17th Jubilee. The first year of this Jubilee cycle was 622 BC (49 inclusive years). Going back 16 Jubilee cycles to when counting began brings us to 622 + (16 x 49) = 1406 BC, the year the Israelites crossed the Jordan and entered Canaan. Since this was exactly 40 years from when the Israelites left Egypt (Dt 1:3; Jos 4:19, 5:10), the date of the Exodus can be precisely fixed at 1446 BC, independently of 1 Kings 6:1. The late-date camp is yet to respond to this precise method of determining the date of the Exodus.Palace of Jabin King of Hazor, massively destroyed by fire in the second half of the 13th century BC. But which Jabin, the one of Joshua 11 or Judges 4? Advocates of a 13th century BC Exodus claim that it was destroyed during the Conquest under Joshua. This cannot be, however, because then there would be no city for Deborah and Barak to conquer in Judges 4 since Hazor was not rebuilt until the time of Solomon.Disagreement with Biblical HistoryA close reading of the context of Exodus 1:11 makes it clear that the 13th century model is incompatible with the Biblical narrative. If Hebrew slaves were involved in the construction of the new capital of Rameses II, the work would have started early in Rameses II’s reign, ca. 1280 BC. Using the 12-generation concept for the 480 years of 1 Kgs 6:1 places the Exodus just 13 years later in 1267 BC. It is not possible to fit the events between the building of the store cities and the Exodus (Ex 1:11–12:36) into a 13-year timespan.• Following the building of Pithom and Rameses the Israelites experienced a growth in population: “the more they were oppressed, the more they multiplied and spread” (Ex 1:12), which had to have taken place over a considerable period of time.



This was followed by an escalation of the oppression (Ex 1:13–14)
Next, the king decreed that male Hebrew babies should be put to death (Ex 1:15–19). When the midwives ignored the order, “the people increased and became even more numerous” (Ex 1:20), again indicating a long passage of time.• Moses was born during the time of the ban on male babies.• At age 40 (Acts 7:23), Moses fled to Midian, during which time “the king of Egypt died” (Ex 2:23) and those seeking Moses’ life died (Ex 4:19).• After Moses’ return from Midian, the Exodus occurred when Moses was 80 years old (Ex 7:7).Thus, the building of the store cities in Exodus 1:11 had to have occurred over a century prior to the beginning of the construction of Rameses II’s delta capital, long before Rameses II was even born. The appearance of the name Rameses in this passage and in Genesis 47:11 are examples of editorial updating of a name that went out of use. After the construction of Rameses II’s capital, the area came to be known as Rameses from that time forward. Other examples of such updating are Bethel (Gn 12:8; 13:3; 28:19), Dan (Gn 14:14; Dt 34:1; Jgs 18:29) and Samaria (1 Kgs 13:32; 16:24).Plan of the royal precinct from the time of Moses. Within the enclosure wall were three palaces, F, G and J. The largest, G, was undoubtedly the official dwelling of Pharaoh when he was in residence at Perunefer. As the adopted son of Pharaoh’s daughter (Hansen 2003), Moses undoubtedly spent much time here, as well as in the capital city of Memphis. Proponents of the 13th century date for the Exodus once said that there was no royal residence in the eastern delta in the mid-15th century BC, so the Exodus must have happened in the 13th century BC when Rameses II had his capital there (e.g., Kitchen 2003b: 310, 319, 344, 353 no. 4, 567 n. 17, 635). Excavations in the 1990s put this objection to rest. (Adapted from Bietak and Forster-Müller 2005: 69.)Another strike against the 13th century scenario is Psalm 136:15, which strongly indicates that the Pharaoh ofRosetta Stone Italian

For more on the verification from the Jubilee and Sabbatical cycles, see below, sec. I.3.d. [28] Young, “Tables of Reign Lengths” 232–33, 239–44. See also the discussion in n. 15 above. [29] Umberto Cassuto, The Documentary Hypothesis and the Composition of the Pentateuch (Jerusalem: Magnes, 1961) 52, cited in Wood, “Rise and Fall” 486. Neither Hoffmeier nor Hawkins, in their responses to “Rise and Fall,” deal with the statement that Cassuto’s study shows that the manner in which the 480-year figure in 1 Kgs 6:1 is given shows that it is “to be understood as a precise number according to standard Hebrew usage, not as a schematic or symbolic number as some would have it” (Wood, 486). [30] Young, “Solomon” 599 n. 10. [31] Ibid. 599–603. [32] Steinmann, “Mysterious Numbers of Judges” 491 n. 2. [33]“Tables of Reign Lengths” 246 (Table 2). [34] For the date, see Young, “Jerusalem” 25–28, in which the dates for the fall of Jerusalem in 587 and Ezekiel’s vision in 574 are established by examining all relevant texts, independently of any argument based on the Jubilee cycles. [35] This has been amply demonstrated by historical, textual, and practical considerations. See Young, “The Talmud’s Two Jubilees and their Relevance to the Date of the Exodus,” WTJ 68 (2006) 75–77; idem “Ezekiel 40:1 as a Corrective for Seven Wrong Ideas in biblical Interpretation,” AUSS 44 (2006) 275 n. 15. That the Jubilee was identical to the seventh Sabbatical year is also the conclusion of Jean-François Lefebvre, Le Jubilé Biblique: Lv 25 — Exégèse et Théologie (Göttingen: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht, 2003), 154–66. Lefebvre’s book is the most thorough analysis of the Jubilee legislation that has yet appeared in print. Prior to this, the two most important publications on the Jubilee were Benedict Zuckermann, A Treatise on the Sabbatical Cycle and the Jubilee (New York: Hermon, 1974; German original Ueber Sabbatjahrcyclus und Jobelperiode [Breslau: W.G. Korn, 1857]), and Robert North, Sociology of the biblical Jubilee (Rome: Pontifical biblical Institute, 1954). Zuckermann and North both concluded that the Jubilee cycle was forty-nine years, although their reasoning in this matter differs somewhat from that of Lefebvre. [36] Young, “Solomon” 601. [37] S. Olam 11; b. Arak. 12a. [38] S. Olam 24; b. Meg. 14b; Young, “Talmud’s Two Jubilees” 71–75. [39] Ibid. 77. [40] Rodger C. Young, “Seder Olam and the Sabbaticals Associated with the Two Destructions of Jerusalem: Part II” Jewish Bible Quarterly 34 (2006) 252–54. [41] S. Olam 30; t. Ta‘anit 3.9; y. Ta‘anit 4.5; b. ‘Arakin 11b; b. ‘Arakin 12a; b. Ta‘anit 29a. Some translations of these passages into English mistranslate the passage to say that the burning of the First and Second Temples occurred in the year after a Sabbatical year. For a discussion of the proper translation of the Hebrew of the Seder ‘Olam and the Aramaic of the Talmud, see Rodger C. Young, “Seder Olam and the Sabbaticals Associated with the Two Destructions of Jerusalem: Part I” Jewish Bible Quarterly 34 (2006) 176–78. [42] Young, “Seder Olam and the Sabbaticals, Part II” 256. [43] For the details, which are complicated by the perennial question of whether there were one or two invasions of Sennacherib, see Young, “Seder Olam and the Sabbaticals, Part II” 256–57. Under the one-invasion theory, the invasion would have ended some time after the fall planting in 701 bc and the “second year” of the prophecy would have started in Tishri of 700 bc. Under the two-invasion theory, the invasion would have ended some time after the fall planting of 687 bc and the “second year” of the prophecy would have started in Tishri of 686 bc. [44] Young, “Three Verifications” forthcoming. In 1869, Ferdinand Hitzig (Geschichte des Volkes Israel [Leipzig: S. Hirzel, 1869] 1.9 and 198–99) stated that the occasion for Jehoshaphat’s proclamation was because it was a Jubilee year. [45] In spite of the miraculous deliverance from the Assyrian host, it still would have been a trial of faith for the king and people to believe that, after the difficulties of the siege, they would be able to survive in the following year if there were no sowing or harvest. This would make it very tempting to plant a crop in the coming Sabbatical year. The meaning of the “sign” of Isa 37:30 must be that the people were to keep the Sabbatical year in spite of the perceived difficulty, and their needs would be met. The way the provision was made seems to be indicated in 2 Chr 32:22–23, where the Lord, after the destruction of the Assyrians, “took care of them on every side. Many brought offerings to Jerusalem for the Lord and valuable gifts for Hezekiah king of Judah” (NIV). Those offerings could have included grain and other food from Egypt, because Egypt had not been ravaged by the Assyrians. Egypt would have been very grateful for the defeat of the Assyrians by the God of Israel; their remembrance of the event persisted, in garbled form, until the days of Herodotus (Hist. ii.141). Gifts of monetary value could have been exchanged for foodstuffs during the Sabbatical year, so that God’s people were provided for “on every side.” [46] “Propositions” 33. [47] Ibid. 34.

5 Mar 11 10 Effective Ways To Promote Your Affiliate Programs

10 Effective Ways To Promote Your Affiliate ProgramsBy: James Woolley .... Click author's name to view profile and articles!!!Retargeting by ChangoTweet Promoting affiliate programs can undoubtedly produce great financial returns, but unfortunately most people never see these kinds of returns because they never figure out how to effectively promote their affiliate programs. Well this article will hopefully solve this problem as listed below are ten of the best methods you can use to start earning regular affiliate commissions.1. ForumsForums are one NHL Shop
the most effective ways of marketing your affiliate programs if done correctly. By posting in relevant forums that allow sig files (where you can link to your own affiliate site, or directly to the product you are promoting if this is allowed) you can reach a targeted audience quickly and easily. As long as you post constructive comments, then you should see plenty of people clicking on your sig files to learn more about you, and the products you are promoting.2. ArticlesWriting articles is another cost-effective way of reaching your targeted market. By writing quality articles (that contain your resource box where you can link to your affiliate site) and submitting them to the various article directories, you can gain enormous exposure for your offers. A few people will come across your article in the article directories themselves, but it's when website owners and ezine publishers pick up your article that you can really reach a massive target audience.3. Press ReleasesPress releases are similar to articles in that they provide a quick and easy way of reaching a large target audience. They can best be used when you have something newsworthy to say about either your own site or the actual products you are promoting. All you do is write the press release (in a journalistic style) and submit it to one of the larger online (or offline) press agencies.4. Search Engine OptimizationThis is probably the optimal form of promotion, but it's also the most time-consuming, and it can take many months before you start to see any results. Nevertheless, if you can take time to optimize your website, and gain a lot of backlinks to your site using relevant keywords (including long-tail buying keywords) as the anchor text, you can receive a lot of traffic to your website when you start to obtain high search engine rankings.5. Pay Per Click AdvertisingThis is a highly effective way of promoting your affiliate programs, either directly, or by using your own website to pre-sell the visitor. Pay per click advertising gives you the ability to advertise on the first few pages of results of the search engines for the exact keywords that you choose, so it's no wonder that so many affiliates swear by this form of advertising. The main thing to remember is that you have to keep testing as much as possible and make sure you don't spend too much per click on any of your keywords, so you maintain a positive return on your investment.6. Advertising On Other WebsitesYou can buy advertising space or text links from numerous websites in all types of niches, so there's plenty of Philadelphia Flyers jersey
opportunity to advertise your offers on other websites. The only downside is that it can be tricky finding websites that will give you a positive return on your investment, but if you can do this then there's definitely good profits to be made.7. Free Reports And EbooksWriting free reports and ebooks provide an excellent opportunity to access your target market, particularly if you add a viral aspect to them. All you do is write your own content, based around the product you are promoting, and include your affiliate links within this content. If your information is of a high quality, you can get massive exposure for your affiliate links as people pass it on to other people, and share it with their list of subscribers if they have one.8. BlogsPromotional blogs are a modern and extremely effective way of promoting your affiliate programs. Because they often contain fresh content on an ongoing basis, they are loved by the major search engines, and can therefore attract high levels of traffic.9. Email MarketingAdvertising in relevant ezines has traditionally been a good way of promoting affiliate programs. Although not as effective as it once was due to strict spam filters, a well-written solo ad or an attention-grabbing classified ad in a targeted high readership ezine can still get great results. For best results, however, you should aim to build your own list of subscribers so you can send out your emails whenever you want, and can actually build a relationship with your list, which will increase your affiliate sales.10. Offline AdvertisingThis is the final of form of advertising I want to discuss. Most online marketers ignore offline advertising completely, but there's no doubt that offline advertising still works, and can even outperform online advertising in some cases. Business cards, flyers, magazine and newspaper advertising are just some of the ways you can effectively promote products offline.Article Source: http://www.shop-on-sale.com James Woolley is a full-time marketer who runs a number of profitable websites.

22 Jan 11 RB Mikel Leshoure, Illinois Fighting Illini Defeat Northern Illinois Huskies

LeShoure led the Illini with 180 rushing yards against the Huskies in Week 3.Dilip Vishwanat/Getty ImagesIllinois running back Mikel Leshoure ran for 180 of Illinois 319 rushing yards and one touchdown, leading the Fighting Illini past the Northern Illinois Huskies 28-22 on Saturday. Quarterback Nathan Scheelhaase also ran for 115 yards and one touchdown, combining with Leshoure to account for 295 of the team319 rushing yards and two of the teamthree rushing touchdowns. The junioris living up to the hype he received in the offseason, showing potential toReebok Minnesota Vikings 28 Adrian Peterson Realtree camo Jersey
become one of the best running backs in the Big Ten. Northern Illinois, led by quarterback Chandler Harnish117 rushing yards and 208 passing yards, fell to 1-2 on the season after the loss. The Illini opened the scoring when Scheelhaase leaped into the end zone during a rushing attempt,putting the Illini ahead early in the first quarter. The Huskies stormed back scoring 12 unanswered points, having one PAT blocked and missing the other. This was also the last time the Huskies led on Saturday. The Illini responded, with a field goal from kicker Derek Dimke and a touchdown by running back Jason Ford followed by a two-point conversion from Scheelhaase, to take an 18-12 lead into halftime. The crowd was silenced in the third quarter when sophomore guard Hugh Thornton lay motionless on the field after taking a helmet to the back of his neck.The 6'5" Thornton had to be carted off the field and taken to the hospital. It was reported after the game that all tests came back negative and he was able to move his extremities. The Illini defense, despite giving up 390 yards of Reebok Minnesota Vikings #4 Brett Favre Realtree camo Jersey
offense, stepped up and made stops when they needed them. Ron Zook put his job on the line, going for a 4th-and-1 at the Ilini's own 46, aftera Huskies' touchdown cut Illinois leadby two, 21-19. Leshoure not only converted the fourth down, but also capped off the drive with a touchdown runto put Illinois ahead late in the fourth quarter.

18 Jan 11 NC State at Georgia Tech: Lay the Points with the Yellow Jackets

Streeter Lecka/Getty ImagesACC play will begin for the upstart North Carolina State Wolfpack this weekend when they travel to Georgia Tech and take on the Yellow Jackets.Georgia Tech got back on the winning side of things with a 30-24 road win over a depleted North Carolina team. The Wolfpack controlled the entire game Reebok Green Bay Packers 21 Charles Woodson Realtree camo Jersey
against Cincinnati last Thursday and were never seriously challenged in a 30-19 win. Tom OBrienteam has started 3-0 for the first time in his four year tenure.The Yellow Jackets are an eight point favorite according the college football odds makers.North Carolina State has been the surprise team of the ACC to this point. The conference as a whole has taken a beating by analysts for their lack of impressive non conference wins this season.Russell Wilson has thrown his name into the dark horse Heisman contender list. The multi-sport athlete at NC State has thrown for 744 yards and eight touchdowns with no interceptions. Wilson is coming off a season in which he threw 31 touchdown passes and is one of the top players in the nation that not many have heard about.True freshman Mustafa Greene has been a nice addition to the backfield, gaining 174 yards and scoring three times. He has been used with Dean Haynes to give the Wolfpack offense some balance. Five players have at least eight catches in this spread offense.George Bryan leads the team with 10 receptions and has one touchdown. Jarvis Williams is the big play threat with eight catches for 163 yards. TE TJ Graham is effective running routes over the middle and is tied for the team lead with two touchdown catches.Wilson is veryReebok Minnesota Vikings #84 Randy Moss Realtree camo Jersey
good at getting all his offensive players involved and not keying on one or two particular players.
