This study argues that the hypothesis regarding the date of the Exodus is related to the 18th dynasty's Amenhotep II (1427-1400 BCE) in the 15th century BCE. It suggests that the collective memory of the Exodus within the Israelite community is a recollection of escaping the oppression by Thutmose III and his successor, Amenhotep II. First, the biblical texts related to dating (Judg 11 : 26; 1 Kgs 6 : 1) will be analyzed. Then, the 15th century BCE hypothesis, the 13th century BCE hypothesis, and the minimalist scholars’ claims regarding the date of the Exodus will be introduced. This essay aims to argue, contrary to the minimalist claim that the memory of the Exodus tradition contains historical memories of Egypt from the 7th century BCE, that it is related to the 15th century BCE Egyptian dynasty. Based on the study of Egyptian historical texts, I argue that the Israelites escaped from Egypt through the monotheistic YHWH of Moses and that this salvation history of the Israelites may have caused significant trauma to the Egyptians of the 15th century BCE. This memory might have laid the groundwork for the formation of monotheism during the era of Amenhotep IV, also known as Akhenaten, a descendant of Amenhotep II.
