This goes back to the story of Joseph and the coat of many colors! Joseph was sold as a slave by his brothers to an Egyptian called Potiphar. After many adventures Joseph prospered in Egypt and became a favorite of the Pharaoh.

When the area around Egypt was hit by famine Joseph has advised the Pharaoh to store grain for the 7 lean years of the famine and during this time Joseph's brothers came to Egypt to get food.

The Hebrews then stayed in Egypt until Moses lead them out a generation or two later.
