Why did the Israelites leave Canaan and go to Egypt?

There was a drought and famine in Jacob's time, so the Israelites went to Egypt because "there was grain in Egypt". Joseph, Jacob's lost son, as vizier in Egypt, has wisely built storehouses for Egypt's grain during the years of plenty to give out in the years of famine. Jacob's other sons came and requested some of the grain that Joseph had saved. When Joseph reunited with his brothers, he eventually had the rest of the family brought down to Egypt, to protect them from the famine. They stayed in the Land of Goshen as guests of the Pharaoh. Later on, in Moses' time, the Israelites had to leave Egypt and go to Canaan in order to escape their enslavement.

He was favored by God over time and became the second in Command under Pharaoh in Egypt. Jacob sent his other sons to Egypt to buy wheat so they would not starve.
