Indeed, Israel does not appear in Egyptian records until the reign of Rameses' son and successor Merneptah. By then it is clearly a nation, not a wandering mass of refugees. But some scholars argue that a group of people called the 'Apiru in Egyptian chronicles may actually have included the Hebrews.
