According to The Bible, the Pharaoh did not really let the Hebrews go. At least two and a half million Israelites escaped unnoticed in a single night from across Egypt. When the Pharaoh realised the Hebrews had somehow disappeared, he pursued them with his army, which was entirely destroyed by the waters of the Red Sea. This catastrophe is not mentioned in the Egyptian records, which in fact demonstrate that Egypt continued to rule supreme as the occupying power in Palestine.

∙ 8y agoPharaoh personally declared that the Israelites could leave Egypt, as stated explicitly (Exodus 12:30-32). This declaration was made during the night that the Egyptian firstborn died. Tradition states that the ten Plagues were over the course of one year (Mishna, Eiduyot ch.2).
After the Israelites left, Egypt was in turmoil for decades. Though Israel was later harassed (Judges ch.3,6 and 10) by its smaller neighbors (Ammon, Moab, Midian), not a peep was heard from Egypt for four hundred years.
Egypt's turmoil is also borne out by the Ipuwer papyrus ("Pestilence is throughout the land....the river is blood") (Professor John van Seters, Journal of Egyptian Archaeology no. 50). The plagues were also described by ancient historians, including Herodotus and Diodorus. The Exodus is mentioned by Strabo, Berosus, Artapanus, Numenius, Justin, and Tacitus.
