 Chronology
Based upon the cyclic perturbations of the earth every 53/54 years caused by catastrophic celestial events, some new theses for the reconstruction of ancient history are presented.
It is somewhat doubtful whether this event was, as claimed, a total eclipse of the sun, but to revert to older chronologies based largely on the Masoretic Texts of the Bible would, at this stage, be too cumbersome.
A confirmation of this total is found in the average reign length of English kings and queens from 1066 AD to the present, an average reign length of slightly over 22 years; this is to be expected, taking into account the differences of conditions in both time and location.

This means Moses wrote these 5 books also called the "Law" or "Torah" approximately 1230 BC, and that account spanned from approximately 2120 BC with the story of Abraham up to his own time 1230 BC or a period of approximately 890 years, for our purpose about 900 years.
Therefore, the Hebrew Moses spoke and wrote was the Hebrew used around 1230 BC when he wrote the Pentateuch.
To be sure as to what these words do mean we can compare the Greek word for God as taken from the Septuagint (280-130 BC) as well as the usage of the same word at about 125 AD by certain New Testament writers.
