Yes, it did. This is based on the Torah (Exodus ch.12) and the unbroken 3300-year tradition of the entire Jewish nation, which is accepted by several billion Gentiles as well. Immediately after the Israelite exodus, Egypt was in turmoil for decades, as we may understand from the Ipuwer papyri (Professor John van Seters, Journal of Egyptian Archaeology no. 50).

∙ 9y agoThe noted Israeli archaeologist, Israel Finkelstein, says that over 90 per cent of scholars agree that the Exodus from Egypt did not really occur as described in The Bible. They do so on good grounds, including conflicts between the Exodus story and both historical and archaeological evidence. The Hebrew people were actually West Semitic people, closely related to the Canaanites they subsequently came to despise, who prospered in the arid hinterland of Palestine and gradually built up stories about a supposed glorious past.

∙ 8y agoNo. The respected Israeli archaeologist, Israel Finkelstein says that over ninety per cent of scholars believe that the Exidus from Egypt did not really happen. This is supported by the Amarna letters, which conclusively demonstrate that the Canaanite kings were secure in their lands, under Egyptian rule, as later as 1350 BCE. Also by the archaeological evidence that there was no unified military conquest of the Canaanite cities.

∙ 8y agoYes. In the Exodus, Moses brought the Israelites out of the Egyptian slavery under the guidance of God, after God brought plagues upon the Egyptians (Exodus ch.1-12).
After the Israelites left, Egypt was in turmoil for decades. Though Israel was later harassed (Judges ch.3,6 and 10) by its smaller neighbors (Ammon, Moab, Midian), not a peep was heard from Egypt for four hundred years.
Egypt's turmoil is also borne out by the Ipuwer papyrus ("Pestilence is throughout the land....the river is blood") (Professor John van Seters, Journal of Egyptian Archaeology no. 50). The plagues were also described by ancient historians, including Herodotus and Diodorus. The Exodus is mentioned by Strabo, Berosus, Artapanus, Numenius, Justin, and Tacitus.

Was Moses a real person?
Yes, he was. This Jewish tradition has been handed down for over 3,300 years by the entire Jewish nation, and accepted by Christians and Muslims as well. Moses is mentioned many times in the Torah and Rabbinic literature. He is also mentioned by ancient non-Jewish writers going back over 2,300 years, including Hecataeus, Strabo, Alexander Polyhistor, Manetho, Apion, Chaeremon, Tacitus, and Porphyry. Non-religious ancient Jewish sources mention him too, such as Artapanus, Eupolemus, Josephus and Philo.
