Detailed explanation-1: -God told Abraham to settle in Canaan. A shortage of food later forced the Israelites to leave Canaan. Many Israelites moved to Egypt. The pharaoh enslaved the Israelites.
Detailed explanation-2: -Exodus, the liberation of the people of Israel from slavery in Egypt in the 13th century bce, under the leadership of Moses; also, the Old Testament book of the same name.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Hebrews left the Mesopotamian city of Ur and became wandering herders; in fact, the word Hebrew originally meant “wanderer” or “nomad.” Abraham had a son, Isaac, and Isaac had a son, Jacob, collectively known as the Patriarchs in the Hebrew Bible.
Detailed explanation-4: -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.
