Later on began a famine in Canaan where Abraham's grandson, Jacob, lived along with his family. According to the Torah, Jacob's family moved to Egypt because of their surplus of grain. Once they settled, the Pharaoh grew suspicious and enslaved Abraham's decedents, also known as Israelites.
Even so, the Exodus states that the pharaoh's family adopted an Israelite named Moses. Later on God informed Moses that he needed to rescue the Israelites enslaved by the Pharaoh. Moses asked the Pharaoh to release the Israelites, but each time he asked the Pharaoh refused.

After the Pharaoh's refusal, God began many disasters in Egypt, the worst one being the death of each first born son of an Egyptian family. After facing these hardships, the Pharaoh finally decided to allow the Israelites to leave Egypt. Today, Jews celebrate the release of the Israelites from Egypt in a holiday called Passover.
The Exodus states that the Israelites stopped at the foot of Sinai while on their journey. Moses went up the mountain to see God, who then gifted Moses the Torah, beginning Judaism. In the Torah there are a plethora of laws, the most important of which are part of the 10 Commandments. The 10 Commandments are important to Jews, Christians, and others because these are God's laws and in obeying only God (being monotheistic), God will support and protect them when in harms way.
Before entering Canaan, Moses died, his Deputy, Joshua, taking his former place as the Israelite leader. They managed to enter Canaan and conquered the city of Jericho and continuing to conquer several more. Each tribe settling in a different place. Benjamin, Judah, and Simeon settled in the south for example. Though they lived apart, the Israelites remained monotheistic and lived ethically to the Torah.
