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.
