Where in Egypt Did the Israelites Live?
Exegetical Approaches
Throughout Egypt
The Israelites were not confined to Goshen and settled throughout Egypt.
Original Settlement in Goshen
"תִּמָּלֵא הָאָרֶץ אֹתָם"
Borrowing from Egyptian neighbors
Separation During the Plagues
Skipping over doorpasots
Assimilation of Israelites
Slaves to Individuals or the State
o Shtetel or Ghetto
Only in Goshen
The Nation of Israel lived in the region of Goshen and never spread throughout the rest of the country. This position subdivides regarding whether or not any Egyptians lived in Goshen with them:
Segregated from Egyptians
Goshen was reserved for the Israelites and no Egyptians dwelt there.
Sources:perhaps Shadal, one opinion in RDZH
Integrated with Egyptians
Egyptians inhabited the region alongside the Israelites.
