I subscribe to the theory proposed by Richard Elliot Friedman that the exodus was a small group of people (perhaps ousted followers of Atenism) would later become the Levites as they claimed to be a lost tribe, hence why they have no land claims in the Bible but instead are to live as priests among the children of Israel. Perhaps, they picked up some Midianites along the way, but overall the exodus was their story but, after the Babylonian Exile, the exodus was reinterpreted and applied to all Israelites, not just the Levites, as a sort of founding myth that also mirrored their current predicament after the Persians allowed them to return and rebuild. So the Exodus we have now would be a founding myth that compares Babylon to Egypt, much like how Rome was later compared to Babylon. As for Moses' name, I think I shared this on another video (and there isn't really anything to support it, just a personal thought) that perhaps Moses' name was purposefully lacking the god's name because one wasn't supposed to say the divine name. Perhaps Yhwh's original name was different and the name we have now was just another theophoric title (He that causes to be) but perhaps, much like Adonai now, Yhwh was a stand in for a name to awesome to say and like Baal being changed to Bosheth, earlier written instances of the name were either excluded or rewritten and perhaps Moses initially was a complete name with the original god's name? It's more likely I'm thinking about it too much and this whole paragraph is completely wrong lol

You may not be right, but you are not alone. I also had that thought that if a deity's name was missing or deleted that it is reminiscent of how Jews refer to HaShem (or as in other ways, as you noted). Also, I have heard theories before about the Exodus being a reinterpretation of a real exodus of Atenists who spread henotheistic/monotheistic ideas to the Levant, including Israelites (and possibly Zoroastrians) , repurposed for the sake of a nation-creating myth. Obviously we don't have a lot of evidence to support these ideas, however in the absence of evidence generally - and certainly as it would relate to supporting the traditional story - I think this at least makes a lot of sense.

@@RustyWalker Yeah, but the story of the Exodus does have some common elements with the story of the Hyksos. The Hyksos were originally semites who eventually took control of a portion of Egypt and made Avaris their capital until they were kicked out. The Israelites were also Semites and according to Exodus, while they were slaves they were located at the city of Pi-Ramses, which isn't located far from where the city of Avaris was built. The Hyksos would most likely come to dwell somewhere in the Southern Levant after their expulsion and probably merged with some tribes there until eventually the kingdom of Israel came to be. And so a tradition formed that their ancestors used to be in Egypt at some and they were later kicked out of it might have passed on. Or maybe the Israelites discovered the history of the Hyksos through trade with Egypt and they came to identify themselves as being related to them or smthin. As to why they are slaves in the Book of Exodus, it could be for a lot of reasons: it could have probably just developed on its own as an origin story without having to portray their ancestors as invaders of another land, or maybe because we know how there were many semites workers and slaves in Egypt, or maybe the story of them being slaves because of the babylonian exile and they changed the story in order to mirror their current situation. There is no clear answer and it is just speculations but i do think that the idea of the ancestors of the Israelites being in Egypt at some point might have some roots in the Hyksos expulsion story.

I think the Hyksos definitely could have fed into the legend--especially the Joseph story. My own unsubstantiated speculation is that Ephraim and Manasseh had some connection to them. But perhaps the Exodus story is a fusion of many distinct historical events (migrant laborers coming in and out of Egypt, "Shasu" nomads settling in Canaan from the southern wilderness, brigands attacking Egyptian vassals in Canaan, and who knows what else) to make one national myth.

Unless you consider the academically unauthorized data and hypothesis present in the documentary series Patterns of Evidence.
Moses is surely fictional as described in Exodus. But he was awfully important to them and does seem to be more of an Egyptian name than from a Semitic language. The Israelites were a confederacy of tribes. Some of them remembered a sojourn in Egypt where Semitic language speakers are documented to have lived and also been kicked out. Their Egyptian leader had a whole myth is built around him, which the other tribes accepted eventually. By the time of Hezekiah, the myth was firmly in place and Deuteronomy was written and attributed to him.

*Moses’ Expanding Role Over centuries* When did texts start saying Moses lived with Pharaoh? The Song of Moses is one of the oldest passage in the Bible, Deuteronomy 32:2-29. It does not contain the name Moses. His name appears in the chapter the Song was inserted into only after the song. Nor does the archaic text of the Song of the Sea, Exodus 15:2-18, mention Moses. Micah 6:4 may be the earliest surviving literature that mentions Moses by name. _”For I (YHWH) brought you up from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery, and I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.”_ Does this mean YHWH sent the 3 as leaders in the redemption? Or does the “and” serve as “and following that”? 1 Kings may be the 2nd earliest surviving literature that mentions Moses by name. There he is a lawmaker and a prophet, but not an Egyptian prince. 8:53 mentions Moses only as YHWH’s mouthpiece in relation to liberation from Egypt when “you declared through your servant Moses when you, Sovereign YHWH, brought our ancestors out of Egypt.” 2 Kings 18:4 mentions Moses, potentially as a promoter of idolatry by creating the bronze serpent, a violation of a later “Mosaic” ban on graven images. Next may be Deuteronomy 5:1, but that looks like an intro tacked onto existing text. In 5:15 _“… you were slaves in Egypt and that YHWH your God brought you out of there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm.”_ In Exodus 14:21,26,27 *Moses, not YHWH,* stretches out his arms and parts Yam Suf. Moses isn’t mentioned again in Deuteronomy until the Exile- and post-Exile-written chapters 27-34. So no books before the Babylonian Exile explicitly mention Moses as the liberator, let alone being part of the King’s family. (The word “Pharaoh” wasn’t used until after Rameses II).

We have lots of writings from Egyptian scribes from the period. Scribes, being able to write and read, were heavily involved in economic affairs. If a sudden mass exodus of slaves happened, it would have tanked the Egyptian economy and it would be all that the scribes wrote about. Instead what we see is business as usual. We even have reports of runaway slaves. They tend to be in the single digits. Often no more than 2-3 for any one report. Lack of evidence of an event like the exodus isn't surprising because we have lots of evidence indicating nothing of the sort happened.

I'm always skeptical when scholars reach to Egyptian for the derivation of Semitic names, just as they do with Shasu and Moses, when there are possible (even probable) Semitic words from which those names could have been derived. The term Shasu, for example was applied in a Middle Assyrian sign list as being represented by an arrangement of signs that also meant šagašu, "slaughter," as in the same word that refers to the SAGAZ. o iii 12' LU₂×AŠ₂ MIN ša₂-ga-šu to capture = to slaughter o iii 13' gu₃ MIN ša₂-ga-šu to shout = to slaughter o iii 14' gu₃ MIN ša₂-su-u₂ to shout o iii 15' gu₃ MIN ša₂-ga-šu to shout = to slaughter The evidence is there to make a claim that the name for the Shasu was derived from a Semitic word, but many scholars (not sure about Dr. McClellan) insist that shasu was likely derived from an Egyptian word meaning 'nomad' rather than allowing for the possibility that the ethnonym was probably an internally derived Semitic word, rather than a non-Semitic Egyptian word. Similarly, scholars are content suggesting that Moses was derived from an Egyptian word, rather than attempting to find a Semitic word that serves as a satisfactory root for the name. Consider the following lexical list entry; saŋ mu₂-⸢mu₂⸣ = mu-še-še-[rum] | one who shines/grows (the Sumerian signs literally mean "head" and "grow," just as Moses' face shone when coming down from the mountain) = one who puts in order. This makes much more sense and connects to a deeply rooted tradition in Judaism of growth/sprouting/branching, as the MU used in this construction means "grow" and is frequently used in constructions that are cognate to the Hebrew ṣemaḥ. It's truly bizarre that all of these scholars have missed these things that seem far more likely than baseless suggestions that the Semitic names were derived from Egyptian.
I find it fascinating that, as you point out, scholars have a very different view than yours. Do you REALLY believe that you've discovered something unknown? Do you really think that scholars whose careers are based it these studies are "content" (read as lazy) to accept the simplest answer without weighing the evidence?

@@coreyc490 There is no evidence that the ethnonym of the Shasu is derived from Egyptian. It is pure speculation. If you think you can find any evidence of that claim, be my guest and supply it. In fact, the Shasu were referred to in the cuneiform El Amarna letters. To suggest that the ethnonym of a Semitic people was derived from Egyptian without admitting that it is equally likely (at least) to be a Semitic word for "to say/speak" is pure ignorance of Semitic traditions at best and disingenuous gatekeeping at worst. There is precedence for the importance of words related "speaking" for the early Israelites, as the word for "prophet" is merely derived from a word for "to speak" (nabu) and the root of the name Deborah is also derived from a word for "to speak" (though more popularly claimed to derive from a word for "bee" which itself in fact is derived from the root meaning "to speak"), and the story of Deborah occurs not long after the Shasu and 'Apiru were attested as attacking Canaan.
