before the Exodus, the Israelites were in Egypt for 430 years:-Exo 12:40-41 KJV Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years. [v. 41] And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the LORD went out from the land of Egypt.

Since the date of the Exodus was 1446BC [Ussher] this would make it 1876BC when the Israelites went to Egypt.

It's not true! If Abraham was according to The Bible living from 1871 to 1784 BC! then at the date you suggested "1876 BC", Abraham wasn't born yet! Abraham moved out of Babylon to Cannon land aka Palestine and had Issac and Ismail! He died before Jacob had his twelve sons who truly moved to Egypt upon Joseph's promotion to become the Minister of the Pharaoh!
