look up avaris. it was the hyksos capital in the nile delta. the bible even mentions the hebrews living near the city. santorini erupted during their reign and caused 9 of the 10 plagues of egypt in northern egypt. the hebrews were a subgroup who refused to leave during the new kingdom. there are reports of new kingdom pharaohs kicking out semites long after the hyksos were defeated. they probably bragged that they weren't leaving no matter how shitty the egyptians were to them until they were expelled.
