Exodus 1:1-22
The son of Israel came to Egypt with Jacob, the descendants of Jacob numbered 70 in all, Joseph was already in Egypt.
Joseph and all his brothers and all that generations died, but the Israelite were fruitful and multiples greatly and became exceedingly numerous.
The new king of Egypt afraid the Israelite become too numerous for them, so 1)they put slave masters over them to oppress them with force labor. 2) asked midwife kill the boy but let the girl live.
Hebrew midwife Shiphrah and Puah feared God and did not do what Pharaoh had told them, Godgav them families of their own. Israelite even more numerous.
Why?
Only 70 Israelite came to Egypt, but in God blessing they were fruitful and multiples greatly.
Egypt's Pharaoh afraid Israelite became numerous and could not control them. When population increase to half they can ask to change the law. So Islamist population are increase very soon in this a few years.
Pharaoh put slave on Israelite with force labor, but God with them so they were still fruitful.
Two id wife feared God, so Israelite could continue growing up and God gave midwife their own families. It is mercy on them.
The book of Exodus is the book of the birth of Israel as a nation not only a tribe.
Egyptian history does not mention the exodus, but according to 1 king 6:1 it was 480 years before Solomon's Temple: There was 12 generation; 12x40. Jacob's people have been in Egypt some 370 years.
How?
God led Israelite to Egypt and let them increased numerous, let Israel became a nation. The Load control all of the History.
Fear God have much mercy from the Load. I will follow God's creeds and commands. Fear God because God loves me and response The Load with love and obey His words.
