According to the Bible the Israelites sponged off of Egyptian welfare for about 400 years. They got pissed when the Pharaoh told them to get off their lazy asses and build a couple of treasure cities. So they got in a huff and stole everything they could carry. Then when they got out into the wilderness they wanted to go back to their comfy lives on welfare but Moses killed the whiners by the thousands.
Since both the Assyrians and the Babylonians occupied Egypt it's possible that the Exodus story is simply a tale about them moving people out of Egypt.
