I saw a History Channel show that asserted that the Hebrews were contractors hired to build temples and pyramids, and were chased out after trying to rip off the Pharoah’s stuff.
And what was the historical or archeological or documentary basis by which they determined that the Hebrews tried to rip off the Pharoah’s stuff?
Jews in Egypt were long gone before the pyramids were buillt...according to credible evidence.
pyramids predate Abraham, so I doubt it.
The “hebiru” were part of the workforce impounded to build the cities of Pitom and Ramses. Lots of labor unrest at that time, and apparantly some of them absconded.
since these cities are in the north, where it is swampy, evidence may never be found. Mudbrick doesn’t last long in watery areas...
But 600 thousand? I doubt it.
The best explanation of the exodus was when some military guys examined the evidence and explained how a good general would use flame and smoke to guide people and also to fool the pharoah’s army to wander into a tidal flat, where their wheels would get stuck when the tide came in...
