Text / reported sequence

Let the story state its claim before the tests begin.

The episode follows the biblical sequence from coercive labour and departure through the water, wilderness, Sinai, generational change and the threshold of Canaan.

Geography / competing corridors

The map can narrow a question. It cannot manufacture a route.

Names, water systems and desert corridors create families of possibilities. The exact path remains unknown, so the dossier refuses to turn a plausible landscape into a fixed itinerary.

Text

The journey begins as a reported sequence.

The biblical account owns the departure, water crossing, wilderness journey and generational passage. The dossier keeps that narrative coherent before asking what external evidence can test.

Reflection / what survives

Uncertainty is part of the record.

Absence of evidence does not prove that no event occurred. Expected but missing evidence still matters. The responsible conclusion must carry both facts at once.
