Reply to comment by faithfoliage in Deciphering ancient texts with modern tools, Michael Langlois challenges what we know about the Dead Sea Scrolls and biblical archaeology by MeatballDom

We do, yes. The Mernetaph Stele mentions Israelites in Canaan. But there is no mention of an exodus of slaves or of Israelites having once been in Egypt. There were probably semitic speaking slaves in Egypt, but there is no definitive connection between these populations and the people who would become the Israelites.

I’m talking about the mentions of Shasu of Yhw, which some scholars belief is a direct mention of the people who worshipped.

From that we can assume there was enough interaction between Egyptians and these people. What kind of interaction isn’t mentioned.
