Best Answer

You can read it in the book Exodus in The Bible. Its purpose was to create a common background and heritage for the Jewish people and to establish their 'divine' right to the land of Canaan. There is however no proof based on excavations or Egyptian records that the Jews ever lived in Egypt or left from there, drowning a whole Egyptian army behind them.

Historians now generally agree that the Jews probably were a nomadic people, originally living in the western part of Mesopotamia and gradually drifting towards Palestine, where they settled.
