The biblical account does not suggest that any Hebrew slaves remained in Egypt at the time of the Exodus.

From a historical perspective there was no biblical Exodus from Egypt, according to over 90 per cent of scholars. Therefore a historian would not say whether any Hebrew slaves stayed in Egypt in the Exodus story.
