Joseph fled Israel after the death of Jesus for his safety, because Herod was persecuting Christians. he came back to israel after the death of king Herod, where he continued his work as carpenter, and died in later years.

This question, however, specifically refers to what is described in Matthew 2:13-20 (for which a link is provided). As Herod died in 4 B.C.E. and this precipitated Joseph and Mary's return to the Land of Israel, It is likely that the trip to Egypt occurred within a year or two of this date. (This assumes that the Biblical Event is an actual historical event.)

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 does Joseph not allow Benjamin to go to Egypt for food?

It was not Joseph who didn't allow Benjamin to go to Egypt. Hazrat Joseph was already in Egypt. It was Hazrat Yaaqub (AS) who was Hazrat Joseph's and Benjamin's father who didn't allow Benjamin to go to Egypt for food. Hazrat Joseph (Yousaf) AS and Hazrat Bejamin were the real brothers from the same mother. The other ten brothers maltreated Hazrat Yousaf (AS) when he was a young child of 7 or 8 years and sold him to a carawan. The owner sold him to the Chief Minister of Egypt. Hazrat Yaaqub (Israiel) (AS) was reluctant to send Hazrat Benjamin to Egypt for food because he didn't trust his elder sons. Ref: Al-Quraan. Sura 12. Sura Yousaf.

What came before 1500 bc or 753 bc?

1500 bc came before 753 bc. Year numbers go down in "bc", where the next year has a lower number than the previous year all the way to 1 bc. The year after 1 bc is 1 ad. To give an example, a tree that sprouted in 1500 bc would be about 753 years older by 753 bc and about 1500 years older by year 1 bc. On 1 ad, it would be 1501 years old.


Is china older than Egypt?

The written records go back farther in Egypt than in China, although it is impossible to establish the precise dates for the first organized civilizations. The oldest Chinese dynasty (Xia) may have existed as early as 2200 BC, but written records do not begin until the Shang dynasty, around 1300 BC but perhaps as early as 1700 BC. Egypt has hieroglyphics dated to around 3200 BC.
