The Bible lists no figures to answer that question. But a thoughtful reading of the events
leading up to the exodus reveals that an effective "screening" process took place just
before it. The answer to the question becomes: "All that were left to follow did so."
In preparation for their departure, the children of Israel were instructed to slaughter
a lamb, roast it for a pre-departure meal, and clearly mark their doors with its blood ...
the identification that would deflect the "Mashcheet" on its macabre rounds of first-born
execution.
Now read those instructions once again, this time with the knowledge that the lamb
was a sacred deity of Egypt, and no Jew alive that day had ever known a day of his
life when he was not a slave to a cruel Egyptian master. Some of the Jews had the
foolish courage to follow the instructions and commit the ultimate insult toward their
masters, while for others, their life-long instincts were too strong, and they just couldn't
bring themselves to commit such an act of rebellion. Those without lamb's blood on
their doors were not passed over, and suffered the same fate as Egypt's families
during that night, and in the middle of the night, as the exodus took shape, those
who were left to follow Moses were the ones who had been able to go against their
deepest survival instincts and demonstrate their choice in a very public way.
On the other hand, over 90 per cent of scholars are reported to believe that there was no Exodus from Egypt, as described in the Bible. The Israelite tribes really formed from among Canaanites who left the environs of the coastal cities and migrated internally to settle in the hitherto sparsely populated Canaanite hinterland. On this view, none of the Israelites came out of Egypt.
The bible says there were 600,000people in the census.
NO
The importance to the Israeli's on passover is that the Jews came out of Egypt from slavery.
Moses or Abraham led the israelites out of Egypt i believe
the departure of the israelites from egypt
According to tradition (see Rashi commentary to Exodus ch.13), the majority of the Israelites had become idolaters in Egypt (Ezekiel ch.20) and were not deemed worthy of joining the Exodus - or didn't want to. Those who did leave Egypt were 20% of the Israelite populace (Rashi, Exodus 13).
No.

The name is Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh. The Israelites' departure from Egypt is in the book of Exodus.
The reason could be fear, as the Israelites were fast multiplying.
