Lawrence E. Stager (The Oxford History of the Biblical World, Forging an Identity: The Emergence of Ancient Israel) says that to make a persuasive archaeological case for the mass migration of peoples from one homeland to another, the implanted culture must be distinguishable from the indigenous cultures in the new zones of settlement. If the intrusive group launches an invasion (as proponents of the Israelite 'conquest' postulate), then there should be synchronous discontinuities, such as destruction layers, separating the previous 'Canaanite' cultures from the newly established 'Israelite' cultures in the zone of contention. Of the thirty-one cities said to be taken by Joshua and the Israelites, twenty have been plausibly identified with excavation sites. Of these, only Bethel and Hazor meet these criteria, and it is even debated whether the destruction of Hazor XIII was as late as that of Late Bronze Age Bethel. This is consistent with the consensus that there was no biblical Exodus from Egypt. We must look for a different migration, and the one that scholars now accept is an internal migration.
Such recent writers as Lemche, Thompson, Coote and Whitelam agree that the lsraelite culture emerged peacefully within the land as an inevitable consequence of the economic and social decline of late bronze age Canaan coinciding with the development of new agricultural techniques which enabled increasing numbers to withdraw from the city states, located principally along the coast and in the valleys, and to start settling in the hitherto sparsely populated hill country of Judah and Samaria. Centuries later, after they had forgotten their real origins, the Israelites created legends of the Patriarchs, privation in Egypt and the glorious conquest of the Canaanites.

There have been migrations throughout the 4000-year history of Jews. You would have to be more specific.Answer:The earliest migration of the Israelites as a group (as opposed to a family or individual) was when Jacob and his descendants (70 people) went to Egypt. Tradition places this event in 1522 BCE.
The Exodus refers to the Israelites' departure from Egypt, but can be used more generally to include the wanderings in the wilderness as well.
Exodus is the name of the migration and the book.
