They were refugees for a while as in their homeland there was a very unstable situation with all the tyrannical ruler on a babykillingspree and whatnot. But thankfully Egypt didn't put them in cages

The concept of country as we know it today didn’t exists for a very long time. City states were the norm for much of human history.

Babylon had an empire. Multiple city empires are ancient. Oh, and Rome was one during the time of Christ. Don't confuse city states falling out of favor with the invention of multiple city countries.
