When was Genesis written ?!!
"They called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father who was born in Israel; however, the name of the city formerly was Laish." (Judges 18:29)
So according to the above passage this City was named after Dan the fifth son of Jacob the son of Issac the son of Abraham by some people of the tribe of Dan in the time of prophet Micah [Judges 18:26] who lived between 737-690 BC
Now this is where it gets real interesting!!!!!
-----------------------------------------------------
"When Abram heard that his relative had been taken captive, he led out his trained men, born in his house, three hundred and eighteen, and went in pursuit as far as Dan." (Gen 14:14)
The Bible mentions that Abraham himself passed by this city which named Dan!!!!
According the Judeo-Christian sources the books of (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy) were written by Moses at the end of his life in the wilderness just prior to the Israelites' entry into Canaan. [blue letter bible] between 1391–1271 BCE.
So Moses (And Abraham for sure) predated the time when the city was called Dan yet he mentioned it. in the light of this informations there is no way that Moses himself is the one who wrote the Book of Genesis rather it was written after him by along time, even after the time of Micah.
HOW COULD THIS BE!!!! WHAT A MAJOR HISTORICAL ERROR SHAME!!
