Detailed explanation-1: -The Egyptians appear to have called them Hebrews and enslaved them. The Israelites, by then organised into twelve tribes, escaped from servitude, spending forty years wandering in the wilderness of Sinai.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Bible tells us that when the Israelites left Egypt they “plundered the Egyptians". That is, they took most of the wealth of the land (silver, gold and clothing) with them. In modem terms, this seems roughly equivalent to the sudden loss of everyone’s lifetime savings.
Detailed explanation-3: -And it is a myth, make no mistake. Even if we take the earliest possible date for Jewish slavery that the Bible suggests, the Jews were enslaved in Egypt a good three hundred years after the 1750 B.C. completion date of the pyramids. That is, of course, if they were ever slaves in Egypt at all.
