On the other hand, more than ninety per cent of scholars are said to believe that there never was an Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. The Israelite nation was never enslaved and therefore God had no need to care about the Israelites.

What type slavery was forced on the Jews by the Egyptians?
A:Neither the Jews nor their Hebrew ancestors were actually slaves in Egypt. Almost all scholars now acknowledge that the Hebrew people did not sojourn in Egypt and there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. They say the Israelites really emerged from among the local Bronze age Canaanites. The story in the Bible tells it differently. Joseph was the most senior man in Egypt, after the pharaoh, but a later pharaoh enslaved his Israelite subjects. The Israelites were required to work harder and harder, with hard bondage (Exodus 1:13-14), yet later in Exodus, at chapter 12, the Israelite houses were so good that the angel would need a sign, just to know which houses belonged to the Israelite. Since the Israelites are depicted as having their own cattle, they would have been a relatively free and prosperous class of slaves.

Why was the Israelite slaves in Egypt?
Throughout most of history slaves have played a part. However there is no sure way to say that the Egyptian gods or goddesses enslaved other gods or goddesses, or people, based upon what little we know of the depictions of their religion. There is also a noted difference though hard to define in those depictions to detect the difference in a slave, which has no choice; and a servant, whom may have many reasons for severing.

Why do we know so much about Egypt?
Egypt is a "type" of the "world" to Christians in the Bible. The Hebrews were slaves to the Eqyptians. The Hebrews were God's people. The world is a type of ways that other cultures were living and ways they were worshiping false gods.
Why would the Israelites not be able to sacrifice to God among the Egyptians?
The Egyptians prohibited Israelites to sacrifice to their God, because they saw them as slaves and as is they were unworthy to worship their gods. this mind you happened well after Joseph the first Egyptian/Israelite came to power. He was the one to bring over the Israelite's. many years later a new king came into power who didn't know of Joseph and his people and enslaves all the Israelites

Pharaohs had a lot of rights, I know that much. Slaves didn't have very many rights, I'm guessing, because they're slaves. And, I really don't know the other rights, these were just ibvious, so yeah.
