If the Israelites were slaves of Egypt for 400 years are there some Egyptian words in the Hebrew language?

No, there is no linguistic evidence that the Israelites ever spent any time in Egypt. In fact the linguistic evidence disproves the Exodus story. The Hebrew language arose as a dialect of Canaanite around 900 BCE. The people who first spoke Hebrew were therefore of Canaanite origin, forming their own communities much later than The Bible admits. On the archaeological evidence, the Israelites began to adopt a separate identity no earlier than approximately 1250 BCE.
