How many years were the Jews actually in Egypt?

The Rav Name: Rabbi Yitzchak Arad
  • Question

I am fascinated with the Timeline of Jewish History at
https://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/3915966/jewish/Timeline-of-Jewish-History.htm but am puzzled by the Israelites time in Egypt only totaling 210 years when Exodus 12:40-41 says it was 430 years? Thank you for considering my question.
