While in Egypt, the Hebrews were known as the "Children of Israel". The main reason for

that particular label was the fact that they were all descended from Jacob, who was also

named Israel.

They never crossed Egypt. The part of Egypt that they inhabited was adjacent to its eastern

boundary, and when they left Egypt, they exited toward the east. So they never traversed

any part of the country other than the part they had inhabited for hundreds of years.
