Were not the Hebrews already in Israel in Egypt?

@ Calm is mistaken.. Egypt controlled Sinai and Canaan. The Hebrews were just a tribe of landless Canaanites... from the northern coast of Syria.

How is @calm mistaken about a question that's based entirely on the context and content of the Bible?
That's like saying (another fantasy parable) that JK Rowling is mistaken and Harry Potter never defeated Voldemort. But that's what it says in the Harry Potter books, written by JK Rowling! How can you say that that's wrong?
Seriously, calm isn't asking about (supposed) historical truth, he's asking a question entirely about the Bible.



Am I missing something here? Anyone?

The Hebrews created a history and identity for themselves after the Babylonian exile. Sinai and Canaan paid tribute to Pharaoh.

The Canaanite towns were successful.. involved in metallurgy, mining and pottery making. The Apiru were landless renegades.

@Harel13 ,

No you're not missing anything. It's just people preaching their gospel...

Okay, I give up. You're not actually answering the question.
