# The genealogy in the [[Bible]] from [[Adam]] to [[Noah]], the date of the [[Great Flood]] in relation to [[Creation]], and the further genealogy from [[Shem]] son of Noah to [[Terah]] father of [[Abraham]], make a continuous timeline that all four camps accept virtually without question.

# The further genealogy from [[Abraham]] through [[Isaac]] and [[Jacob]] and his sons forms another unquestioned interval of time--though the date of the ''birth'' of Abraham is in dispute (see below).

# The groundbreaking of the [[Temple of Jerusalem]] took place in the 480th year following the [[Exodus of Israel out of Egypt|Exodus]] from [[Egypt]]. This simple statement<ref>{{Bible ref|book=I_Kings|chap=6|verses=1}}</ref> ''does'' represent a point of dispute between these three camps on one hand, and the Late Date Camp on another. Specifically, the Thiele and Ussher camps are only forty-five years apart on the date of the Exodus, while the Late Date Camp dates the Exodus in 1290 BC, 201 years later than Ussher and 156 years later than Thiele. This would, if it could be shown, compress the period of the [[Judges]] greatly.
