What I meant is you said the Biblical scholars want to have it so that their story of Joseph (I assume that is what you mean about going back to that period) thought of it in the Middle Kingdom (maybe some do, I don't really know about their assertions and think it would be off since the Egyptians were too strong during the Kingdom eras), but from what I studied, if there ever was a presence of the ancestors of Israel in Egypt of a meaningful extent, it would have come from the Second Intermediate Period when the Hyksos invaded Lower Egypt since I doubt Egypt would have tolerated them migrating into their country at any other time, getting stuck when the Egyptians retook their empire.
Just one of many secular theories for how the Hebrew people came about. The next best being the Sea Peoples hypothesis ~1200 BCE.

But if we walk in the light, as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, His Son, purifies us from all sin.
