Yes, and it comes from one of the earliest writings in the Bible, the Song of Deborah (Judges 5), composed in Israel in the 12th or 11th century B.C. After the Canaanites suffer a major defeat, Deborah summons the victorious tribes of Israel.
In uniting the tribes, which constitutes the founding event of Israel’s history as a nation in its land, 10 of the tribes are summoned—but noticeably absent is Levi. Their absence is perfectly consistent with all of the other facts observed. The Levites weren’t there in Israel yet; they were in Egypt.
Think of this: The two oldest texts in the Bible are the Song of Deborah and the Song of Miriam (Exodus 15). The Song of Deborah, in Israel, doesn’t mention Levi. The Song of Miriam, in Egypt, doesn’t mention Israel.
Four different biblical texts connect the Levites to violent acts. Levi is one of the brothers who massacre the city of Shechem for the violation of Dinah (Genesis 34), and he is also cursed for his general violence in Jacob’s deathbed testament (Genesis 49).
The Levites slaughter the people associated with the golden calf incident, thus following Moses’ command to put them to the sword (Exodus 32:26–28). And in the poem at the end of the Torah (Deuteronomy 33), God is asked to “pierce Levi’s adversaries’ hips, and those who hate him, so they won’t get up.” These four texts come from four different authors.
The Levites got the priesthood, which included some cities (Joshua 21:13) plus a tithe (10%) of Israel’s produce (Leviticus 27:30). One of the Levites’ main tasks as priests was to teach the Torah to the Israelite people.
Deuteronomy 33:10 says, “They’ll teach your judgments to Jacob and your Torah to Israel.”
Leviticus 10:11 commands that they are to teach what God spoke through Moses. Naturally, when the Levites taught Torah, they taught the tradition they had brought with them out of Egypt. And that is how every Israelite child learned,
Real evidence exists that the Exodus is historical, with text and archaeology mutually supporting one another. What lies next for us is to give due consideration to this evidence and refine it further.
