The following tabulation describes the time period between the upper limit and the lower limit for when the book from the Bible could have come into existence as we have today, strictly from the evidence within the Scripture itself. The last revision is the time period when the book might be revised with additional information. This tabulation ignores any activity of the redactor after the exile.
