Through the events of the Exodus and the Giving of the Torah, God now considered (and spoke of) the Israelites as a nation, instead of an extended family (as they had been until then).

A:Moses is respected as the founder of Jewish nation because the Bible attributes that to him.

Almost all scholars say that there was no Exodus as described in the Bible, but it is the tradition of an Exodus that is important to most believers.

What nationality are the Jewish people?

Jewish people tend to be of the Hebrew nation, and are the people of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. They are the people of Israel. Jacob's name was changed to Israel, and all of Jacob's descendants became the nation of Israel. It should be noted that Hebrews and Jews, while usually embodied by the same people (with exceptions), do not have the same definition because Judaism is a religious faith and Hebrews are of the Hebrew and Israeli nationality. So as many people who would call themselves Jewish are also Hebrew, and many people who call themselves Hebrews are also Jewish, they are not one and the same. Much like a Roman is not synonymous with a Catholic. Hebrew is a word that actually means one who crosses over, as in crosses over from Egypt.
