Joseph (one of the 12 son's of Jacob/Israel) was sold into slavery by his brothers and taken to Egypt. Not really an exile, but he was brought "by chance" there. His family ends up reconnecting with him during a famine; and from there they grow to be over 1 million (estimated, of course.)

How many times were the Jews exiled in the Old Testament?

10,000UPDATE: I had this same question and was looking for the answer. But when I came across this I knew that this could not be correct. The reasoning is in Ezra 2:64 it states that a little under 50,000 Jews went back to Judah after the exile. So if that many went back then more must have been sent into exile.

When did the country of Israel get exiled?

The Jews view the region of modern Israel and Palestine as their ancient homeland. They were exiled from it several times in history. However, the country of Israel was not and cannot be exiled because it is a place. When king Nebuchadnezzar II of Babylon destroyed Solomon's Temple (The First Temple) in 586 BCE, the Jews were exiled to Babylon but were allowed to return by Cyrus the Great in 537 BCE. In the aftermath of the Bar Kokhba revolt in 132--136 AD, the Romans destroyed the Second Temple and again many Jews were exiled or left the country on their own. This later exile is the one that spread Jews around the known world and from which they are returning when they return to the modern state of Israel today.
