Time passed, as it does for us. Genesis 15:13,God said that there would be 400 years between the family going down into Egypt and coming back to Canaan...or Israel. The land of Goshen where Joseph's Pharoah let them settle was a rich land, suitable for flock grazing. History is very boring when there are no wars or upheavals. So for about 375 years, it was just life as usual. Live,eat, have kids, be happy. We note that in the first chapter of Exodus, the statement is made that a new Pharoah arose in Egypt who did not know Joseph. It can be argued from the text that perhaps the rest of Egypt went to war and this new Pharoah was the victor of the war. At any rate, he began to oppress the people in Goshen, and the rest is history.

How many years are there between the end of the book of genesis and the beginning of Exodus?

The Book of Genesis concludes with the death of Joseph, which is traditionally dated to around 1800 BCE. The Book of Exodus begins with the Israelites in Egypt, where they have been enslaved. While the exact timeline is debated, it is generally believed that there are about 400 years between the end of Genesis and the beginning of Exodus, as the Israelites are thought to have entered Egypt during a time of famine and remained there until the Exodus.
