What happened to the Hebrew slaves who left Egypt?

The Book of Exodus says that they wandered in the desert for forty years, until their descendants invaded the land of the Canaanites and settled there. However, over 90 per cent of scholars are reported as believing that there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible.

That does not mean that there never was a group of slaves that escaped from Egypt. One theory is that after the Hebrew people, who were actually dissident Canaanites, settled in the Palestinian hinterland, they were joined by a small group of escaped slaves who brought the story of a new god, YHWH (pronounced and now written as Yahweh). It is believed that after leaving Egypt the treked through the desert until, more dead than alive, they reached the land of the Midianites, to the south of the Dead Sea. The Midianites nursed the former slaves back to health with the help of their god, YHW (not YHWH). Afterwards, the slaves continued north until they reached Judah and joined the Hebrew people, bringing stories of their miraculous survival and of their new God, who gradually became YHWH, the God of the Jews.

What did early scribes do during their day?

The records we have of the early rabbis are mostly in the Talmud. This indicates that essentially all of the early rabbis had day jobs. Among the jobs recorded are carpenters, vintners, brewers, farmers, sandal makers, and laborers. Priests in the Temple in Jerusalem were profited by the system of tithes and offerings, but outside of the Temple, there were no clergy jobs that paid a living wage. Scribes could make money by writing divorce and marriage contracts, which even then were governed by Jewish religious law, by writing inserts for tefillin and mezuzot, and by writing copies of holy texts on commission, perhaps augmented by jobs writing commercial contracts and keeping commercial records. (Tefillin and mezuzot are both cases holding small parchment scrolls with biblical text on them. Tefillin are worn on the arm and forehead, meuzot are attached to the doorposts of houses. We have archaeological and literary evidence that the practice then was not very different from the practice among observant Jews today.)
