"... there are two parties in Washington, the stupid party and the evil party, who occasionally get together and do something both stupid and evil, and this is called bipartisanship." - Everett Dirksen
Sorry guys. Seems like there was a misunderstanding probably arising from how I answered your last query (my fault I did not read it carefully) but as I said in the discussion thread

That present premise is just too ambiguous. I can think of three areas right off the cuff where we would spend time debating interpretation. Again my apologies. I never saw Stein respond back SO I was not even sure this was still on and yes when you presented the premise I overlooked that ambiguity discussed before as such.

It is unfortunate that this debate could not have proceeded in an orderly and professional manner. I believe that there was a Hebrew community in Egypt, and it is possible and maybe likely that some Hebrews migrated out of Egypt in a smaller scale as a result of a climatic and government crisis. In contrast all the evidence in Judah does not support a large migration of Hebrews in any time frame that fits the Exodus record. The evidence indicates that the tribes of Judah evolved in place as originally pastoral Canaanite tribes in the hills of Judah. There is no evidence for a massive invasion and conquest of the region near the scale described in genesis.
There is evidence of Egyptian invasion of Canaan and Egyptian settlements and trade in the Canaanite and Judah region

Hotspur: Why, so can I, or so can any man;
But will they come when you do call for them? Shakespeare’s Henry IV, Part 1, Act III:

What about the Hyksos invasion and conquest of Egypt about this time? Was Joseph Vizier under the Hyksos pharaohs?
