No, technically Joseph was the first.
Egypt's first settlements have been thought to have occurred over 5,000 years ago.

They settled in northeastern Africa, in the Nile river valley.
he killed an Egyptian who was beating a Hebrew
Well the first humankind settlements were in the middle east. If u look on a map Egypt is very close to the middle east.
According to the first few verses in Exodus, when Jacob and his family descended to Egypt to escape the famine in Canaan, adding their numbers to Joseph and his sons, who were already in Egypt, the total is 70 individuals.
Egypt lost its independence several times since it was first settled in 3100 BCE; you may wish to be more specific.
The three Hebrew patriarchs were: Abraham (אברהם) Isaac (יצחק) Jacob (יעקב)
A:According to the Bible, the patriarchs Abraham, Isaac and Jacob were indeed the first Hebrew leaders. The main problem with this assumption is that they never existed. Archaeology and history show that the stories of the patriarchs could not have happened. If Jacob and his twelve sons had existed and if he migrated with them into Egypt and their descendants were enslaved, this would necessitate the Exodus from Egypt and the conquest of a new land. However, nearly all scholars say there was no Exodus from Egypt as described in the Bible, and no conquest of the land of the Canaanites. The Hebrew people were themselves Canaanites who migrated from the region of the rich coastal cities and settled peacefully in the hitherto sparsely populated hinterland. The legends of the patriarchs developed in Israel centuries after they time they supposedly existed, as did the legends of the Exodus and the conquest of Canaan.
