Best Answer

The Jews were enslaved by Pharaoh in Egypt thousands of years ago. They were slaves because the Pharaoh feared they might try to rebel against his nation if they had the chance. Therefore, he eliminated the slim possibility by enslaving them.

Because they were taking in captivity and made slaves, there were no king

Answer:The Israelites were once welcome guests in Egypt because of Joseph's high standing. However, they prospered so well in the land that they became a perceived threat.

But the children of Israel were fruitful and increased abundantly, multiplied and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them. Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph. And he said to his people, "Look, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we; come, let us deal shrewdly with them, lest they multiply, and it happen, in the event of war, that they also join our enemies and fight against us, and so go up out of the land." Therefore they set taskmasters over them to afflict them with their burdens. And they built for Pharaoh supply cities, Pithom and Raamses. (Exodus 1:7-11, NKJV)

Yes. Thousands of years ago, in ancient Egypt, the Egyptians enslaved twelve of the thirteen tribes of Israel.

The holiday of Pesach celebrates the successful emancipation of the Jewish people by Moshe.

They felt like they were being controlled by a robot and couldn't bear it any longer.It would be like being controlled by your mum or dad for your whole life.they also felt like if they didn't work hard enough then they wouldn't stay alive which is probably true with the Pharaoh of Egypt.
