What happened to the Israelites while they were in Egypt?
The Israelites at first enjoyed a prosperous period in Egypt (Genesis 47:27), since the Egyptians were grateful to Joseph (a leading Israelite) for having enabled them to survive a famine (Genesis ch.41). Later, the Israelites were enslaved by the Egyptians (Exodus ch.1), with backbreaking labor and cruel decrees (ibid). By the time of the Exodus, many of the Israelites had given up hope (Exodus ch.6).
Why were the Israelites persecuted by the Egyptians?
The Torah states that Pharaoh claimed that the high Israelite birth-rate could pose a potential threat (Exodus ch.1).On a spiritual level, the Egyptian slavery was brought about by God (see Genesis ch.15). It taught us the importance of loving the stranger (Deuteronomy 10:19), it showed us the power of God when He redeemed us (Exodus 10:2) as well as His personal concern for us (Exodus 2:24); and it served as the "iron furnace" (Deuteronomy 4:20) which smelted us (the Israelites) into a nation and separated the dross.See also:TimelineThe Exodus

How many chariots came after Moses and the Israelites?
There would have been no reason for the Egyptians to pursue the Israelites recklessly, as described in the Bible. The entire Levant region was under Egyptian rule, with Egyptian army garrisons scattered throughout Palestine. And two and a half million Israelites would not have been hard to find, whenever the Egyptians wanted to find them. It seems unlikely that any chariots were really in pursuit of the Israelites. In any case, Israel Finkelstein says that over ninety percent of scholars do not believe there was an Exodus from Egypt. That being the case, there was no pursuit of the Israelites and no chariots. The tradition of the Exodus from Egypt developed many centuries after the time attributed to it. 600 chariots were sent to follow the Israelites. Moses recorded this and had been an eyewitness to the events. The Egyptians were losing a large slave force in a period of much building construction, hence the need to pursue their departing slave workforce in such a significant way. There is evidence that the Egyptians were weakened militarily after this time for a period which supports the loss they suffered.
