Time of Writing: Approximately 1490 B.C. (cf. 1 Kings 6:1), in the second year after the exodus, after the tabernacle was erected ( 40:17).
Place of Writing: In the wilderness and at Mount Sinai (19:1-2; 34:27-29).

This is how denominations are formed. The main direction is to come out of the system; it cannot change. "I began to realize that our practices have differed and deviated from our vision. Our vision was the same, our teaching was mostly the same, the truth is always the same, but our practice has really differed."
