This is the Joseph, son of Jacob who died in Egypt. Joseph gave orders to his family to take his bones when they (the Hebrews) left Egypt.

What did the descendents of Abraham leave Canaan and go to Egypt?
The descendants of Abraham, including his grandson Jacob and his family, went to Egypt during a famine in Canaan. Jacob's son Joseph had risen to power in Egypt and invited his family to live there. This migration eventually led to the Israelites settling in Egypt and later being enslaved.
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.
Why were the Israelites in bondage in Egypt?
They went down to Egypt when Joseph was involved with 'famine relief activities' as a high official in the Egyptian court. The famine was to continue for some years and they could thus be re-united as a family and eventually grow as a nation in the land of Goshen provided for them. Israel descends from Jacob, who was given the name Israel. Joseph was a son of Jacob, and his brothers became jealous of him and sold him into slavery, to some passing Midianites, who brought him to Egypt. Joseph eventually rose to great prominence in the court of the Pharoah of Egypt, and then God brought 7 years of drought, not just to Egypt, but to all the lands around it. Since God had sent Joseph a vision of what was to come, he had advised the Pharoah to prepare and store grain in advance of the drought. So, when Joseph's brothers were in nearby Canaan, suffering hardship due to the drought, they went to Egypt where there was still food, and were reunited with their brother Joseph. Answer 2 Joseph and his brothers, the sons of Jacob, became the founders of the tribes of Israel, who stayed in Egypt until the Exodus which was led by Moses, many years later. Joseph, a son of Jacob, was sold as a slave by his brothers. Joseph was taken to Egypt. In Egypt God blessed Joseph and Joseph rose to be second in charge over all Egypt. Years later there was a famine in the land where Joseph's father and brothers lived and Josephs brother came to Egypt to buy grain. Joseph sold them some grain and later when they came back again Joseph revealed to his brother who he really was. Joseph's father, brothers and their families came and lived in Egypt and they stayed there. Four hundred years later Joseph's family's decedents - the Israelites - had grown to a large number and they were persecuted by the Egyptians.
