Miracles and Anti-supernaturalism

Contrary. Exodus makes that abundantly clear since Pharoah is about to let them go, but God keeps hardening his heart.

Well, it has nothing to do with any fucking god or any "Hebrews" but there is actually a point in Egyptian history wherein the Pharaoh Ahmose I while chasing the Hyksos out of Egypt ran into a small problem.

Expulsion of the Hyksos in Year 16 of his reign.
Ahmose I slowly drove the Hyksos back to their capital Avaris (location on one of the eastern branches of the Nile in Lower Egypt), once here Ahmose laid siege to the city. Ahmose had troubles of his own with his kingdom, he left the siege of Avaris in the control of his military commanders so that he was free to placate a rebellion in the Theban region. When Ahmose returned to Avaris he found that negotiations had been taking place between the Hyksos and his military commanders ­ the Hyksos were allowed to leave Egypt gracefully in return for surrendering the city (1532 BC).

...However, Ahmose was not going to let his enemy escape so easily ­ the Egyptian army pursued the Hyksos people into southern Palestine to Sharuhen. The city was put under siege by the Egyptians, after three years the Hyksos once more fled this time into Syria. Again the Egyptians followed, but Ahmose finally returned home to Egypt.

So centuries later when the garbled tale was edited to suit the needs of a specific band of Judahite nobles they came out with what we now know as the pile of shit called the bible.
