Best Answer

The Israelites emigrated from Canaan to Egypt because of a famine (Genesis 46). At first they were respected and were under the protection of Joseph, a powerful Israelite; but later, the Egyptians enslaved them under a pretext (Exodus ch.1), and God brought ten plagues upon Egypt (Exodus ch.7-12), in accord with an ancient promise He had made to Abraham (Genesis 15). The plagues compelled the Egyptians to permit the Israelites to leave Egypt (Exodus 12).

The Israelites migrated to Egypt during a famine (Genesis 46). Later, the Egyptians enslaved them (Exodus ch.1), and God brought plagues upon Egypt (Exodus ch.7-12), in keeping with His ancient promise to Abraham (Genesis 15). The plagues eventually forced the Egyptians to allow the Israelites to exit Egypt (Exodus 12).See also the Related Links.
