According to the Book of Genesis, Israel and his family settled in the land of Goshen, in Egypt. Four hundred years later, his descendants fled from Egypt and settled in Canaan.

According to scholars, the Israelites never really settled in Egypt. In fact, they were dissident Canaanites who left the coastal cities and settled in the sparsely populated mountainous hinterland of the Canaanite region around 1250 BCE.
