According to the Biblical account . . .
The temporary migration to Egypt, to escape the famine in Canaan, was led by Jacob, the patriarch of the clan, just as you'd expect. Although he was elderly and frail at the time, the migration was certainly the result of his decision, and if he hadn't wanted it to happen, they would not have gone. The actual labor of loading the wagons, was handled by his 11 sons. There were less than 80 members of the family at that point in their history, and Joseph was already in Egypt.

Another answer:More than 400 years prior to the Exodus, when Joseph's father, his brothers and their families went to Egypt fromCanaan because of the famine in the land (and Joseph's benevolent manipulation), it was Israel (Jacob) himself who "led" them. See Genesis chapters 45 and 46.Wiki User
∙ 10y agoNo Israelites went "into Egypt". Jacob and his extended family migrated there to
escape the raging famine in Canaan, on the ionvitation of his son Joseph, who
had done OK for himself since his own arrival in Egypt several years earlier.
When they migrated to Egypt, they numbered a total of 70 individuals. As the
family of Jacob, who had been given the additional name"Israel" several years
earlier, they were, literally and technically, the "family of Israel". But outside of
their own homeland, they were still called "Hebrews" ... a term of derision as far
as Egypt was concerned.
