Here is a biblical timeline: http://www.matthewmcgee.org/ottimlin.html
I'm sure there are many, and somewhere a median amongst them can be found.
As you say, we don't have people of those days to enlighten us, but we have science and carbon dating.
According to this timeline, then the Anak appeared on the scene long before the events of Exodus, and that would
correlate with the "sons of God" verses is Genesis, whether Genesis could be trusted or not, or whether the
cronology can be trusted or not, it's just two dots that connect.
Regarding the Hedrew bible talking of "the sons of God" in Genesis, wel, when the Hebrew bible speaks of God,
they speak of Jahweh. To call anything or anyone else "God" in the Hebrew bible would be blasphemous.
So to use Jesus being called the "son of God" as an example where the Hebrew bible content is being discussed, is inappropriate, since the Jews rejected Jesus as the Messiah, and would not have referred to him as "Son of God", because to them it was blasphemy. How can flesh and blood be "the Son of God", they said. So we can be sure that when the Hebrew bible says "God", that term is exclusively reserved for Jahweh.
So "sons of God" in the Hebrew bible, is sons of Jahweh.
