According to The Bible, 600,000 fighting men left Egypt with their wives and children. It has been suggested that the total number of people would have been at least two and a half million. The story goes on to say that all those who were adults when leaving Egypt died before entering Canaan, except Joshua and Caleb. One would also expect that, in the normal way of things, many children also died in the journey, including many who were born during the Exodus. Thus, one would expect the number of deaths to be in the millions.
Archaeologists have looked for evidence of the wandering Israelites, or even gravesites along the way, but have found nothing. Also there is nothing in the extensive documentation we have from Egypt in the Late Bronze Age to suggest any disruption to life in Egypt. Nearly all scholars have concluded that there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible. The Hebrew people did not die fleeing from Egypt.
