Uh, Daffy, if you go back and reread this thread you'll find where I state "absence of evidence for a couple million hebrews in the sinai is rather stark."

Have I said there is evidence for the exodus?
No.
I've simply maintained that egyptian records do in fact speak of pr.w, or habiru, which are likely references to the Hebrews.

"Likely?" Your own source says otherwise.
