Moses never existed, the bondage in Egypt never happened, consequently there was no Exodus. There is zero evidence for any Davidic Empire, the priests just added that for propaganda purposes. Whether a certain 1st Century itinerant preacher ever actually walked the earth, that is debatable. The slaughter of all male children under two by King Herod never occurred. There was no census as described necessitating going back to Joseph's ancestral home of Bethlehem. There's more, but that is all I can come up with off the top of my head.
Consequently there were no Israelites nor any conquest. There was no "Hebrew" language only a Palestinian language which is indistinguishable from Phoenician.
Consequently all the BS which is premised upon that which did not also did not happen.
