The Time of Leviticus (1445 BC)
No geographical movement takes place in Leviticus.
The children of Israel remain camped at the foot of Mount Sinai (25:1-2; 26:46; 27:34).
The new calendar of Israel begins with the first Passover (Exodus 12:2), and, according to Exodus 40:17, the tabernacle is completed exactly one year later in 1445 BC. Leviticus picks up the story at this point, and its events occur in the first month of the second year. Moses probably wrote much of Leviticus during that first month and may have put it in its final form shortly before his death in Moab, about 1405 BC.
