There was a old story of how the Jews were enslaved by the Egyptians and how moses lead his people to freedom.
Let's get some things things clear. They were never in Egypt nor they were slaves in Egypt. And thus the story
is fiction. The stories themselves came about in the 8th and 5th centuries B.C.E respectively. It's mythical story
telling nothing more nothing less.
That's pretty much it for book 2 making that bible smaller one book at a time.
The Jew while in egypt were not known as Jews. Why? Because they were known as Egyptians...
Nope. They were known as the "sons of Israel", the "Israelites" or the "people of Israel", a clear ethnic distinction from the Egyptians, which the Bible states both explicitly and implicitly. See Exodus 1.

Quote:Exodus 1
1. These are the names of the sons of Israel (that is, Jacob) who moved to Egypt with their father,
... blah ... blah...
7 But their descendants, the Israelites, had many children and grandchildren. In fact, they multiplied so greatly that they became extremely powerful and filled the land.
8 Eventually, a new king came to power in Egypt who knew nothing about Joseph or what he had done.
9 He said to his people, “Look, the people of Israel now outnumber us and are stronger than we are.
...
11. So the Egyptians made the Israelites their slaves.
The Bible states in black and white that the Jews were in Egypt. Oh sorry, I've got that wrong - the People of Israel, the Sons of Israel, the Israelites. That means Jews, and you know it does.
Are you going to try to pretend that the Bible doesn't actually say this?
Whatever.
It doesn't really matter how hard you shout that black is white - it isn't.
