∙ 11y agoAbout 50 years in Babylon and about 400 years in Egypt. There are however great doubts among scientists if the captivity in Egypt and the Exodus really ever took place. No evidence has ever been dug up to prove that biblical story.

∙ 10y agoby scriptural accounts and historical/archaeological information 215 to 645 years (although the 215 seems most logical and defensible). The exact time is subject to substantial debate. This story is theological, and intended to show how God acted to save the children of Israel. The amount of time they were in Egypt is not important.
See the link below for a fair explanation of the debate.

Who wrote Psalm 142?
Psalm 142 is traditionally attributed to King David, while he was hiding in the cave. However, scholars say that the psalms are a genre unknown at the time attributed to David. They say that they were written many centuries later, during and after the Babylonian Exile. The author was anonymous, probably living during the darkest times of the Babylonian Exile.

Was the Hebrew religion redefined during the Babylonian Captivity?
To a large extent, the Jewish religion was redefined during and after the Babylonian Exile. Angels were never emntioned in any book written prior to the Exile, there was no belief in heaven as a place of reward, merely sheol, and many other changes arose during this period. Some scholars even contend that monotheism was really introduced during the Exile, then written back into the Book of Kings, although the majority view is that Judaism had already been monotheistic since the time of King Josiah.
Why was Psalm 25 written?
Psalm 25 is traditionally attributed to King David, but scholars say the psalms were a literary genre unknown in the tenth century BCE. They say that the psalms were written over a period of more than two hundred years, during and after the Babylonian Exile. Psalm 25 is a gloomy song, speaking of affliction and the author's many enemies who hate him with great cruelty. It also speaks of trust in the Lord, and calls on him to redeem Israel out of all his troubles. Here, 'Israel' refers to the descendants of Jacob/Israel - the Jews in Exile. The psalm appears to have been written in the dark years of the Babylonian Exile. It encourages the Jews to maintain the faith, and tries to give them hope that the Lord will see their harsh conditions improved.
