Best Answer

They were kept as slaves for centuries.

The Israelites (Hebrews) at first enjoyed a prosperous period in Egypt (Genesis 47:27), since the Egyptians were grateful to Joseph (a leading Israelite) for having enabled them to survive a famine (Genesis ch.41). Later, the Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptians (Exodus ch.1), with backbreaking labor and cruel decrees (ibid). By the time of the Exodus, many of the Israelites had given up hope (Exodus ch.6).

They were supposed to enter the land of Israel but the generation of those who have sinned in the making of the 'golden calf' were unfit to enter the land. I think this is why they were wandering in the desert for 40 years...

Moses and the Hebrews successfully, albeit roughly, escaped slavery and made it out of Egypt. After receiving the Ten Commandments and wandering in the desert for forty years, Moses died and the Hebrews reached Canaan under the leadership of Joshua.
