The Hebrews had moved to Egypt during the time of Joseph, see
Joseph, the Son of Jacob.
The Hebrews had lived in Canaan for 215 years and were to live in Egypt in the
land of Goshen for 215 years. There they would live as slaves for 112 ± 32 years. See this explained in How Long Were The Israelites In Egypt?
It isn't the Hebrew slaves who built the pyramids, they were already there.
They were built several hundred years after The Flood at the Time of Noah, see:
- What is the Septuagint? How Does It Explain Archaeological Chronology?(time 7:05–12:48)
- Were the Pyramids Built Before the Flood? (time 5:56–18:41)
- Septuagint Vs. Masoretic Genealogies (time 5:45–>).
The Pharaohs may be according to the timeline in the New Egyptian Chronology.

The art of writing was invented as early as 3000 BC. The oldest surviving writing in Hebrew letters (then adapted from Egyptian hieroglyphs) is Proto-Sinaitic from the 18th century BC in caves in the southwestern Sinai Peninsula. The Hebrew scriptures were thus in use long before the time of Moses.
It's believed that Moses wrote down the majority of the Tora
(Pentateuch or Five Books of Moses); these are the books:
Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy.
(Exo 17:14, 24:3–4a, 34:27, Deu 31:9, 24–26).
