Why some israelites migrated from Egypt?

According to the Bible, many Hebrews had gone down into Egypt because there was a famine in Canaan and they had no food. Instead of returning home to Canaan, they stayed in Egypt for a long time. The number of Hebrews living in Egypt grew very large. This upset the pharoah who became afraid that the Hebrews would become powerful enough to upset his rule. To prevent this, he made the Hebrews (also called Israelites) into slaves. Treatment of laborors in Egypt was cruel during the time of the Israelites' bondage. In this wall painting from a 15th century B.C. tomb, a farm overseer is thrashing a slave while another slave begs for mercy. According to the book of Exodus, it was treatment like this that caused Moses to kill an Egyptian and run away from Egypt. After more than 400 years of slavery, in the early 1200's B.C., Moses was born. Although an Israelite, Moses was raised in the pharoah's household. This pharoah was probably Ramses II. According to the Torah, God asked Moses to ask the Pharoah to let the Israelites leave Egypt. Pharoah refused. God gave Moses miraculous powers, including the ability to cause outbreaks of disease and destruction called plagues. Each time a plague happened, Pharoah promised to let the Israelites go, but each time he changed his mind. Finally, according to the Torah, a plague came in which the first-born child of all the Egyptians died - even Pharoah's son. After this terrible plague, Pharoah finally let the Israelites leave Egypt. Here's the website for more info!
