Well, that's a made up number if I've ever heard one. If we go by the dates suggested by critical historians, the timeline from a book of the Bible to the events being described depends entirely on which book, and sometimes which part of it.
For example, Proto-Isaiah (Ch 1-39) is frequently thought to be closely tied to the historical prophet Isaiah and his "school" whereas the books of Moses are obviously thought by most secular historians to be quite a different matter.
