There is no evidence anywhere that Israel existed at all before about 1200 BCE. They were a tribal confederation until the first king.
There is not one shred of evidence for Abraham, (according to the best of the Israeli archeologists).
He was an entirely mythical figure. Applying dates to mythological figures, (Abraham and Moses) has no foundation in fact ... at all.
Abraham was a myth as well as Moses. There is evidence for neither. No one can actually write about their own death and burial, (Moses).
He would have no way of "going down" to Egypt, as camels had not been domesticated yet, nor would anyone else, (ie Joseph).
Actually my comments covers the entire period of Israeli history. None of my POINTS were refuted, thus you attempt to fling your poo "around the subject",
yet never actually address any of it it. You are SO hilariously transparent.
Subtle you ain't.
You still haven't told us why you chose the *CB* (Christian Bully) approach to evangelization, over others.
Why ... if I didn't know better, I might just think you're nothing but an angry old troll who gets off by insulting people.
That can't be, could it ?
Jesus sure has done *you* a lot of good, I see.
I think you have a play-date waiting.
Now run along outside and play.
glob...
which is why I told you you are about 900 years too early with your last and this argument. because israel was not a nation before the exodus. they were bedouin semites. which there are tns ofevidncefor in egypt.

Genesis 13
Back in Canaan, a now very wealthy Abram goes up to the Negev, then back to Bethel, with Lot accompanying him. Now Lot was also a wealthy man, with a great number of possessions and an abundance of livestock. This meant that there were bound to be arguments between Abram's men and Lot's men over land and livestock and such. Wanting to diffuse the quarreling, Abram made an agreement with Lot that they separate, with Lot going one way and picking a region of land to his liking, while Abram went a different way. And that is what they did. Lot chose the whole plain of the Jordan to the east, where he pitched near Sodom. Abram, on the other hand, stayed in the land of Canaan, pitching near the great trees of Mamre at Hebron (and building yet another altar to the LORD). And thus, problem solved.
Note: Lot is meant to be an integral character in the later story of Sodom and Gomorrah. Hence, the separation of Lot from Abram, and his settling near Sodom.
Also, after Abram and Lot part ways, God had this to say to Abram:
"Look around from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west. All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring forever. I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted. Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you."
Thus, God's stamp of approval to Canaan belonging to Abram and his descendants (the Israelites). And bloody wars continue to be fought because of that. Thanks, God.

can you name a society who is established without any bloody war?
