After much of their crop and animals have died, the people of Israel were set free. It makes sense to think that other Egyptian people would leave with the slaves after see the power of the true God and how the Egyptian gods have forsaken them.
I don't suppose you can cite chapter and verse to support this claim? In any event, the Bible says "children of Israel". Barring any verses to the contrary, I think the straightforward translation is that this number reflected the "children of Israel" like it says.

I'm a deist. I don't believe Yahweh is God. Any more than you believe Zeus or Allah is God.
