Is the Holy Spirit Misleading You?

[Godscreated]

Why would I even be interested in those who do not believe in the Bible or even those who partially believe it. There is no proof of redaction of scripture, no one that I know of has ever shown that anyone tried to obscure the meaning of scripture. We believe there was some small additions in the NT but nothing that changed the meaning of scripture. No proof has ever been given of the scriptures being written other than the time period they occurred or, in prophecy, before they occurred. Until the original documents are found this want happen either.  Just what do you think might be found "just outside of Egypt," as you say. Only a few Israelites entered Egypt and they grew in population from those, this is plainly stated in scripture. So anything and everything they had would be of Egyptian influence, so looking for traditional Hebrew artifacts wouldn't help. God sent them to Egypt to grow His nation of chosen people and took them out to show them His power and for a future reference to His redeeming power through Christ.

Didn't you know that all of the Levant to the Tigris River was part of Egypt?  So everyone in that area at that time was in fact in Egypt.  The Israelites didn't leave Egypt; Egypt left the Israelites.

There's something wrong with your thinking if the Israelites left in the 13th century BC. Two dates seem to be supported by the scriptures but as we know only one can be true so until someone can establish the time of Israel's exit we could argue this till the cows come home.
