The 4th year of Solomon's reign was calculated by scholars to have been about 961 B.C. In 1st Kings 6:1, Solomon is stated to have begun building the Temple "''in the 480th year after the children of Israel were come up out of the land of Egypt''", making the [[date of the Exodus]] under Moses to have been 1441 B.C. During the following forty years Moses wrote the first five books of the Bible and ''Job'', completing them before his death at [[Mt. Nebo]].
The style of writing was by hand, on animal-skin parchment.
