The Israelites of the Exodus from Egypt could not have travelled through Philistia because the Philistines did not even begin to arrive in the Levant until 1185 BCE, whereas there is an Egyptian record of Israelites already being in the hinterland by 1205 BCE.

Did God lead the Israelites through Egypt when he set them free from slavery?
Egypt in the Ancient Period controlled far less land than Egypt in the modern period. Although the Sinai is now part of Egypt, it was not at that point and God did lead the Israelites through the Sinai, but did not direct them in Nile Basin (Ancient Egypt), which the Israelites would have been familiar with and thus would have needed no direction. It is important to note that while maps of Ancient Egypt show it "controlling" the Sinai Peninsula at various points, this "control" was through indirect vassals and tributes, not through a standing infrastructural connection.
