Take the first goddamn chapter of Genesis. God creates light, but then on the fourth day (after inventing time which is by itself a metaphysical fallacy) God creates the sun and the moon. The only kind of conclusion people could make that isn't literal is more of a primordial means of days (24 hour cycle) that is without physical light to have existed prior to the first day itself. This is what I meant by not taking things literally.

In due time, the Egyptians enslaved the growing Israelite population as they've seen them as a threat that might one day take over their way of life. The Israelites were clearly Asiatic, they didn't look racially Egyptian. It's more of a racial instinct really, can't really blame Egyptians for being suspicious of other people.
